Once again, party over principle. Sad, but they REALLY ALL have to go. Vote out ALL incumbents this election, no matter what. The break up of the monopoly is necessary. If we only send a couple packing, it leaves the rest to overpower the newbies, as per the usual tactics lately. Hear this, YOUR REP HAS BEEN PART OF THE PROBLEM IF HE/SHE HAS BEEN THERE MORE THAN ONE TERM! Lets institute term limits. If a person is on the ticket for more than a second or 3rd term, they go from now on. no exceptions. The longer they spend on the hill, the more likely there will be bad things going on behind closed doors regardless of party. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Period.
The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, fascism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliterates all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, oligarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.
I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!

I keep reading this “vote them all out” rant and I disagree.
For instance, my house rep is absolutely the most conservative intelligent person anyone could wish for.
In an adjacent district is another really great conservative who has been in office for probably 30 years.
There are many others, some in my state and many in other states.
Voting them out would be the classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face....
Or as the old timers put it, pissing in your own well. If you can't sort out who the good guys are from the bad guys, do the rest of us a favor and stay home on election day. You will do more harm than good.
Good video. I’ve seen it before. The future of our Republic lies in our hands. We need to stir passion in others to fight for our Country. It is sad that though we are the majority, we are less passionate about our beliefs than liberals/marxists are.
The Roman Senate, inhabited by elitists, deflected all attempts to tax their patrician class. Since the poor have no money, the working classes - the potters, the bakers, the weavers, the millers (small businesses) were heavily taxed to pay for the increasing costs of the Republic, and then the Empire starting with Augustus Caesar.
By the end of the 1st Century AD, families began to sell themselves into slavery to avoid paying taxes. By the beginning of the 3rd Century AD, there no longer existed a middle or mercantile class within the Roman Empire. The greater part of the Empire's population was made up of slaves, and of those the majority were from outside the Empire, namely non-native.
No matter how much Romans tried later to bring back the Republic and its values, they couldn't achieve those ends, as the original Roman populations no longer existed. Europe drifted into the Dark Ages and much of the technical knowledge of the ancients would be forgotten.
It is very important to keep in mind that the United States is NOT like Rome. We have a public that is far more literate and educated than Rome ever had, with a top literate percentage never exceeding 14% even at its apogee in the 1st Century BC. Today we have science based on rational thought (mostly!) and empirical proof, while the Romans were highly superstitious pagans.
