-is ignoring the people with good ideas and good intentions for the benefit of the better life and for the common good of all, while admiring and stepping up those who are under qualified and unfit for their role and do things for their own wealth and special interest and has absolutely no intention to do anything for the greater good?

do you think it's fair, to have the president to be elected only if he is wealthy enough to spend millions of dollars on campaigning, while others , qualified and able but no support of large banks and special interest are ignored, even blacked out , never heard of for the reason, that the media wont' talk about them?
Is it fair to say, that the presidents are elected through (and by) the TV? Basically if the news media likes the person, then he has a chance, and if the media has no interest in the person, than he looses? |

They are groomed from birth and the whole election process is just a front. |

No, I do not feel ignored, I get answers each time I write to my representatives and they do listen to me. I also know I have other avenues of getting the government the way I would like it to be so I utilize what I need to to be the participant in my government that is my responsibility to this country. |

short answer, yes.
There are many economists (and even the fed chairman!) who have described how dangerous the road we are taking is. They are being ignored since the special interests are screaming louder. |

Usually significant changes only happen when all else has been lost - smiless
