Who's Really Running America

A must read: If you want to understand why Washington is so dysfunctional.

BuzzFlash Review: What Every American Should Know About Who's Really Running America (Paperback):

We'll begin with Rossi's introductory quote, because BuzzFlash readers will get the picture immediately: 'This book may break your heart, because this book is about a beautiful idea that has gone tragically wrong, or so it certainly appears at the moment. It's about the government of the United States of America, and what the hell has happened to it. This is about how thugs took over the steering wheel of our country -- but they didn't yank it by force, they won it with money. This is a book about how our government has been corroded inside and out.'

When we think about what we have learned as we mark our seventh anniversary of what has now become the BuzzFlash Internet News Network, we've come to take the long view. A large enough segment of individuals and corporations have become outrageously wealthy and solely interested in preserving their financial power through political means. The electoral and legislative system has become corrupted by money. War and death are just collateral damage in the rush for a greedy, gluttonous wealth -- and feeling that as the sole remaining superpower, America has the right to plunder the world.
