The USA needs a strong, firm and decisive President. - Not a fool kicked constantly by Republicans, that are puppets of the Super Rich and Wealthy and that constantly cuts the scarce benefits to the Poor and Middle Class in order to give great gifts in tax cuts to Plutocrats

.

I do not see a better way to cause harm to the American Empire than establishing a Plutocracy, where the President is a stooge, clown, shill or plant, always conceding and giving in to the Super Wealthy.

Sooner or later the Economy will stagnate and stall because the Poor and Middle Class will suffer. Of course this has to do with the idea of Race, Racial Politics and Ethnicity, because the poorer Americans are in good part Minorities.

American Politics is in great part Racial Politics and that is not going to disappear soon. Racism is not going to end in a few decades.

If you examine the last Presidential Election, then you see the Amazing Racial Polarization. There are no other countries in the World with such characteristics. You can say that Slavery and Immigration have also existed in almost all Latin American Nations and the Caribbean. But they are not so polarized.

This discussion carries me to predict that the Democratic Party will continue winning Presidential Elections at least for two or three more cycles. And that caving to Republicans in December 2012 or January 2013 is useless, absurd and unwise.
