Who do you think ruined the economy? Big Federal government manipulating the free market ruined the economy and they've kept it from recovering. They've kept us in costly foreign wars in the Middle East for 60 years with no improvement and you're all for that???? Hellooooooo

You're not looking past the show the politicians are putting....

Who is producing and paying for this show, who is deciding which candidates get their piece of speech (money, for you) that enables them to run.

Everything that you did not like about the government is what these wealthy elite has given you. They control the economy, the government, the media and just about everything. If you don't like what you see, government wide, you need to break the tie between money and politics. Corporations aren't people and money isn't speech.

I would pretty much agree w/ the corp greed and debt/inflation voting. I would expand that to say the BIG CORP/BIG GOV work hand in hand and are not separate in the fascist state.

I would also add another option I feel is a bigger threat.

Lack of understanding/proper action on the part of the people.
