Kelly is right, what is the difference between us and Russia, where the whole economy is in the hands of a select few. A social unrest is in the cards at this rate.

And for the most part, it should. The American people are wonderful, it is America the government, the oligarchy, that is shameful

Great imagery, you are right the political rhetoric coming out from the elections are deplorable. A perfect 10, great Senryu composition.
