" IMPLODING "

After many attempts to educate you readers on the vial state of our governing system, and the fact that you have "NO" say what's so ever in your government, I give you a big....." I TOLD YOU SO " the great corporate government is imploding. The revelations of the past years , (the BUSH years) are just the tip or the iceberg. It lays bare the reasons politions are so desirous to "serve the people"...... Hell, to serve themselves, and boy do they! From Mayors to State Reps. and Senators to members of Congress.....There should be term limits.
Why is it that our government officials have such a good medical insurance program and all they can seem to do for the general public is put everyone in a risk pool policy, dictated by an office worker somewhere more concerned with the corporate bottom line than your health? Yes Dorothy we are talkin PERKS here. From health care, to health insurance to working hours to working conditions to employee rights to unions to whatever can benefit them should also benefit us! They don't seem to have a problem with substantial automatic raises for themselves, usually hidden away in some scheme away from public scrutiny, but can't seem to rationalize a higher minimum wage for the working public. Why is that?
You have to take the decision making process out of the hands of politicos! Let the politions do the research and report the pros and cons and let the voters decide.....everything! Contrary to what the politions would have you believe, we are smart enough to know what is good for us and some of us can even read and write today.
The first big hurdle is to take money out of the election process. A pool of money shared equal by ALL parties. No party or canidate war chest. All donations go into one big pool shared equally by all.
The next big change is to limit the lobbyist access to government buildings. They should not have access to anyplace that the general public doesn't. If you can't go behind the counter than they can't either!
Of course this is all wasted ink...nobody will do shit about the situation and we will just keep a crusin along in the same gutter until it gets so bad that a revolution will break out and the people will finely take back their government....knowing the people...don't hold your breath!
IT'S YOUR DIME......ya right!

"A pool of money shared equal by ALL parties."

OK, I am now the founder of the Dave Party. Now give me my share of that campaign loot, to be split equally between the Dems, Reps and the Daves (OK, just Dave, so far), so I get a third (until there is a 4th party, etc.).

If you can get past the regulations for becoming an official political party.

I have proof that the American people are not smart enough to handle issue decisions on their own - Dubya, DeLay, Foley, Friest, Haster just to name a few.
