Thagrastay,you raise several good points. However, bear in mind that we are a Republic, and not a Democracy, for good reason. If everyone had a true voice, then the uneducated would vote for whatever some voice on the radio told them what "ought to be". Plus, as iccky pointed out, we have people to look out for the issues for us, because we simply do not have the time, or the resources, to effectively survey the minutia of each issue that comes forward.
I would, however, look favorably upon the dissolution of the Federal Reserve System, and the repealment of the Federal Income Tax as we know it. I would favor either a "Flat Tax", based on income, or a Federal Sales Tax. With the sales tax, the monies available to the Federal Government rest soley on comsumer confidence (no sales = no sales tax), thereby encouraging lawmakers to focus on the economic well being of the consumer, and not corporate special interests.
