Politics and Labor's Interests

I wish to suggest a political forum category. Something more basic than political issues. A category that deals with political power for the voter, or limitations on that power. There are limitless political forums, and limitless political issues, but few discussions about the interest of the voter as a voter. None, that I am aware of, concentrating on wage labor or the majority below the average income.

Our group doesn't have money, but we do have votes. However a political science book a read in the 70's said something like - Political parties in the U.S. are probably unique in having no other function than raising money for politicians.

I am aware that most posters will just post arguments in favor of some political issue. While I can live with that, a proper forum title may limit that activity somewhat.

My Suggestions

1. The Voter's Interest

2. Politicians Are Not Our Friends! (They should be our employees.)

3. Democrat or democrat

4. Spend Your Vote Wisely (It doesn't buy much!)

Although the pile of democratic nations has been growing, when the ability of U.S. voters to influence their government is considered, the U.S. voter is close to the bottom of that pile!
