> The left has caused all of our economic problems and they have endorsed crony capitalism more than the right.
Of course, in the USA the left is really more of the right. The USA has no real left wing party. Even the Green Party is a party of the centre at best. The Democrats are a right wing party, and the Republicans are right of the right. It is just the nature of American politics. Both parties engage in cronyism. It all depends on who is in power at what time. In the end, both parties supported bailouts for banks, both parties supported wars that benefit big oil, both parties support the industrial-military complex. It goes on and on.
