You make the assumption that politicians in Washington DC will be able to solve the problems facing the nation, if only we just vote in the right politicians.

That assumption is fatally flawed.

Washington is the problem, and never will be the solution, doesn't matter which party is in control.

This and every other election is just a fight between 2 factions of Washingtonians over who gets to control and redistribute to their friends the tax dollars extorted from the productive class from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the IRS.

The Federal apparatchiks will milk every last dime from the populace, and then the government will collapse, just like the USSR.

It's what happens when you give the Franchise to everybody.

The Founders didn't put a right to vote in the Constitution for a very simple reason.

They didn't want everybody voting.

"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison

Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson

Unfortunately, that horse has left the barn. Good luck in getting it back in there. I'm basically in full agreement with you. Washington IS the problem and it has been for decades. I agree that the federal leviathan must ultimately die, the nature of that death is yet to be determined.

In the meantime, I'm voting against 0bama and if that means holding my nose and pulling the lever for the GOP, so be it.
