Okay - how can we the people come together in a meaningful way to reset the plate for the american political system in the next two years? Can we find a means to reduce regulation, offset the overwhelming advantage that people working the system have over everybody else and make it such that everybody is not just a drone wage slave to some massive corporation.

Actually - corporations suffer massively under this system too, as they constantly have to get bigger, cheaper, faster to keep up and avoid being swallowed by even bigger, cheaper faster mega-megacorp. Would the food supply collapse if Archer Daniels Midland went under tomorrow? If Monsanto collapsed, who would provide the round-up for all the roundup ready GMO corn, soy and canola planted across america's breadbasket? Now that we wave goodbye to Ford and GM, who next to bail on future committments?

When more people run to mama fedgov to save us from the system - mama fedgov has to collect her cut from all of us through the infernal revenoo sirvice. So we slave as they (we?) distort life away from observable reality to support the fictional economic world system, that makes us wage slaves to ourselves. Meanwhile the elected can do what they please, people having changed the color of congress without touching the flavor. We have two years - let's design our next government before the one we have is totally worthless. (no, it's not an oops too late - let's do something beyond talk.)

Collect taxes from all of us? If you are meaning the income tax, most of "us" don't even pay net taxes, and then a large portion of those get back more than they put in. So, where are all these taxes coming from to put in the descretionary funds owned by the government? Who keeps asking for these funds?
