6. We need to cut imperialism
It's going to come to an impasse. Interdependence will only take our country somewhere if we have both hands free to shore up social concerns at home. You can't do that when the defense budget eats up most of the tax dollars.

So it's the same situation: corporations don't want to lose their global ventures. Media corporations that are part of defense congolomerates don't want to shrink, they want to grow. Therefore they will support a president and Congress that allows them to grow the most. That ain't the Democrats, and it certainly isn't anyone who is looking to regulate business. While media support isn't the be-all end-all, look what happened to Gore.
