years over 1,600 people have died due to working conditions in low-wage manufacturing companies and many more have been injured due to the unsafe conditions that they are exposed to on a daily basis ("Sweatshops are the norm in the global apparel industry.

comfortable with running America the same way we been doing it. The traditional matters are important to keep, and not many changes are needed. In the other side, we have Mr. Donald Trump. Mr. Trump is attempting to change the whole system and create a political catastrophe. This system will make America great again according to the candidate. A huge problem is arising as both candidates discuss terrorism. Hillary Clinton prefers to operate in a safe and traditional way when it comes to Muslims.…

The reason this works is that while the candidates forsake the American people, they do help the corporate interests once they take power, and the corporations make obscene profits which results in the President looking somewhat responsible for the huge increase in revenue which secures his reelection and…
