If politicians continue to ignore the people then they will feel like beating the politicians but it won’t have anything to do with the ballot box.

Right diagnosis, wrong cure.

The article correctly describes the problem as a battle between the political class and the people. It further describes how the Republicrat, Demican sham perpetuates the charade. The author even points out how the Constitutional limits on government power have waned. Then, incredibly the author falls for the old canard about term limits!

TERM LIMITS! Say What??? Why? So we can change the faces of the same Republican or Democrat scamsters??

Happily, there is an answer. And it is as old as the Republic. It is based on the simple to understand concept of divide and conquer. The key is limited government. And the key to limited government is State's rights. It is not that the political class at the State level is less corrupt. They are not. But their power to rule is 1/50 the power of our current rulers.

Face facts folks. If you give 435 Congressman and 100 Senators three TRILLION dollars a year to buy votes with you are going to be a serf. And term limits will do no more good than McStupid's campaign finance reform.

Term limits is the only way to left to save our republic, and you don’t need a constitutional amendment.

thw only way out of this mess is to get rid of witholding where a citizen(employer is held liable for the taxe payments of another citizen(employee). Every one should pay thier own taxes directly to all levels ofgovernment. That way when a politician talks of raising taxes every one will know howmuch more they will have to make thier checks for and vote accordingly
