I know this much... we have to vote the elitists out of office. They have basically lost touch with all us commoners and literally pay no attention to how we feel about anything. They price it so high to get in the game that nobody else can run for office, then they play word games and no matter who we elect the policies are basically the same because we have no choice but to vote for one of them, and it doesn't matter which party they represent. Do you really believe Jay Rockefeller relates to any of the problems and issues faced by the ordinary person?
The key is to get campaign spending limits imposed so a populist candidate would have a real chance. Personally, I won't vote for most candidates who are lawyers, have Ivy League or similar educations and who haven't actually worked for a living. Most of the people in office at the state and federal level don't meet my qualifications, including the President.
These tea parties make me disappointed. Those in Washington have no clue how to run THIS economy optimally...and apparently the grass roots people are clueless, too. Everyone seems to think the US is in some sort of bubble independent of the world economy where the key to the universe lies within minor changes to tax codes and debt load.
It kind of cracks me up...but honestly...in the world where our economy is hedged upon the dollar's role as the de facto world currency due to its use as the world's mechanism to trade commodities (i.e. the petrodollar)...do you really think exceedingly minor changes in taxation policy either way will really affect anything?
Anyway, my dad went. He sent me some photos. It looked like those in attendance had fun.
I had to work at the last minute...but intend to go and might even get involved.
I missed going to the protests of the '60's because I was too young...don't want to let the opportunty get by this time...
Are the girls burning their bras or anything like that?
