Wow! But if the politicians are the gatekeepers to our pockets what can be done? Both the Dems and the Reps would stand against it.

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode in which aliens disguised themselves as presidential candidates. When Homer revealed their extraterrestrial identities one exclaimed:

Kang: It's true! We are aliens! But what are you going to do about it? It's a two party system! You have to vote for one of us!
Man in Crowd: Well, I'm just going to vote for a third party!
Kang: Go ahead! Throw your vote away!! HA HA HA HA!!!

The people did vote for one of them, and they were enslaved.
