I sometimes think that the two party system is just a tool these guys use to keep us minions at each other's throats while they are pick-pocketing our money. Doesn't matter which party is in power, at the end of the day the average joe just has less dollars in his pockets.

IMHO, there are two serious problems that the authors of the Constitution did not forsee. One was a class of professional politicians caused by no term limits. The other is the electoral college that basically shuts out any third party from the political process. Get rid of the electoral college and require the winning candidate to get 50% + one vote, with a runoff in case that no one gets a plurality, and the two party system will come crashing down within a very few years.
