So long as we are separated by moral issues we will never have the clout to implement tax reform. So long as rats and pubs are separated on abortion, homo-rights, gun-control and drugs there just won't be enough to get it done. We need to stop basing our choices for elected officials on private/local/moral issues and start picking them on the basis of fiscal policy and adherance to the Constitution. Further, until we get the fed out of the regulation of these moral issues most folks won't pay enough attention to what the gubment is susposed to be doing to even notice that we are paying 50%. The moral issues are sideshows, distractions and devious mis-direction polys to keep the populace consumed to the point of apathy.
In the meantime I will be taking your advise and spread the word.

Until conservatives quit cutting their own throats in there search for immediate and total perfection, its is indeed going to be an uphill battle.
