Kanye West for President?

This is straight out of the "People I Don't Give Even One Single Fuck About" file, but it did get me pondering. If it were down to a choice between Donald Trump and Kanye West for president, who would I vote for?
The answer would be Kanye West. He's an egotistical asshat, but he isn't a sociopath, and he's far less of a racist than Trump.
Hell, I'd even vote for Kim Kardashian before I'd vote for Trump, and I think she'd be completely inept. 
Truth is, this nightmare scenario will never take place.
I'm going to predict that Hillary Clinton will get the Democratic nomination and Jeb Bush will get the Republican. I'll have to wait and see before deciding which of those I think will come out on top.

"Our Government is Killing Us"


I stumbled across this video and was struck by the images of extreme poverty.
Nigeria is a prosperous nation, but there is a vast discrepancy between the haves and have-nots.
I don't live there and am not entirely aware of the political situation. However, the narrator of this video does live there, and the words and images he shares are disturbing.
I am a U.S. citizen. I come from a middle class family and would myself be considered part of the working class. My feeling on our current economic situation is that I have never earned such a high dollar per hour amount, but it doesn't go anywhere near as far as the $10 per hour that I was earning 15 years ago.
I also wonder if I'll ever be able to retire at the rate things are going.
The working class in the United States is pretty well fucked. We can't afford anything. The working poor have it even worse than people like me, who live from paycheck to paycheck. I'm not sure how they can even afford housing.
If something doesn't change, could scenes like we see in this video become more commonplace in the U.S.?
Something's got to give. It isn't right to have one percent of the population getting all the benefits while everyone else gets the shaft.

P.S. We really aren't turning this into a political blog. I was struck by Bloomy's editorial the other day, and then this video above inspired me to speak my peace.
