One And The Same

Why are all the people at the beginning of this video white?

I'd vote for a candiate that supported progressive social policies (but not social spending). Policies that provided everyone an equal chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness regardless of background, sex, beliefs, or economic class, and promoted fiscal conservatism.

The problem is either parties offer this. Both parties like to spend and add to the national debt. Reagan started it. He promoted smaller government, cut taxes and cut spending, however, he also increased military (e.g. "star wars") spending. The result was an increase in the federal debt. The tax cut was greater than the additional spending. Bush 1 understood the debt problem, but this was unfortunate for him. He increased taxes and the public voted him out. Clinton got lucky. He reigned over the tech boom. Tax revenues increased sufficiently to covering his increase in spending.

Bush 2 cut taxes, increased government spending, spent a trillions on a hopeless war and billions to bailout Wall Street. And now Obama!

Republican Party like to claim they are for smaller government, but in reality when they get into office they spend as much as their Democratic counterpart. It seems that all politicians are for larger government. The only distinction is that they are for different types of governments. The Democrats focus on social programs and Republicans feed the military industrial complex.

The taxpayer just keeps on paying more tax. Inevitably the U.S. will have it's own debt crisis, just like Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and Spain. It will only be when the international financiers refuse to finance the U.S.'s debt,will the budget be cut, deficit reversed and debt decreased.
