Democrat, republican, and libertarian or whichever other flavor these come in seem to be the only "options" we have. Instead of getting things fixed we are wasting time in partisan blame games. Meanwhile the bankers are sucking up the country dry and our "civil servants" are slowly eating away at our freedoms.
Can we have a movement that isn't involved in creating bogeymen or excessive idealistic notions? Most people just want things to become logical, neutral, and free of egos.
This is why I believe we need to come up with a new party/group/whatever you want to call it that sets aside political leanings, social class, race, and religion for the improvement of life for everyone instead of the few elite controlling all sides of the aisle.
This movement can start by throwing your old binary beliefs. Those which made you feel as if you were superiors to others for having them. You were only making enemies and creating unnecessary negative feelings and resentment. Eventually the elite won't have the manner to manipulate and control us because we could all be working together to get rid of them trying to instigate things.

How about just getting rid of the Fed? The Fed is the source of corruption in this country and they are an octopus that have tentacles grappling all areas of government

Because that really works well in the UK or Belgium. Parliamentary system is just as bad as ours. The problem is not the system of government, but the institutions surrounding the government

Or .. a dual Presidency type of system .. No second terms allowed .. Elections every 3 years, 4 year term, with the first serving his 4th year at the same time the newly elected is serving his first ..

I don't now if that would have any effect. Mexico's president is elected for a single 6-year term and we know how crooked they all are. Like I said before, the way our government is structured is not broken (though I don't know why the president is both head of state and head of government), it's the cesspool of corruption from the Fed and K Street that poison our government
