Wouldn’t it be cool if candidates raised campaign funds by investing in research and education and luxuries and entertainment and industry and farming and growth and technology instead of begging for handouts and panhandling by proxy, sort of like what they had to do in the Dust Bowl days immediately following The Great Depression? Their ability to rule with capability after being elected would be vastly improved if they actually had the infrastructures necessary to enact their campaigns, instead of being figurehead-actors thrust to the forefront of powerless popular movements like Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. We are on the leading edge of one of the greatest depressions in history, and no politician can seem to make any headway into earning the political capitol to take on corporations whose only imperative is to minimize human reward for maximum profit and centralize their wealth to expand slowly and inefficiently, both internally within their hiring structures, and on the consumer side of the equation, whilst turning as much of their workforce over to machine automation as possible. Capable political leaders are needed now more than ever.
