Ustwo, I don't think that you've actually read the thread OP. One of the main arguments is that government has been "harnessed" by a corrupt elite, to take money away from the overwhelming majority of "its citizens", and into the control of this same elite.

The absurd government published inflation statistics, manipulation of the stock market, of interest rates, of credit markets, housing valuations, tax "reform", and the 00's foreign policy of "perpetual war"....who is behind it, who fails to regulate it, who benefits?

<h3>What is "America ready for", Ustwo? The "fruit of your "vote" has brought us to our knees.</h3> No border or port secuirty, immigration, or SEC enforcement, and a military, intelligence communtiy, and DOJ out of control and unaccountable, and you want less government, less taxes on the wealth elite who have raped our finances, ethics, enforcement.....

Was a country with high tax rates on the "last dollar" incomes on the wealthiest, strong "reaction to 30's depression" regulation and enforcement, social reform, and a labor friendly NLRB, and the resulting, growing middle class and more euqitable income distribution, inferior to the results of the "reforms" you've voted for more of since 1980?

We're going to take back and redistribute the wealth that has concentrated to excess in such a small number of hands. The only thing in doubt is whether it will be done after the country is on it's knees because of the deliberate destruction of functioning government by those who currently control it, or short of that extreme.

Will reform begin sooner, with someone like Edwards elected, or later, with a "Chavez like" figure in power? Judging by your sentiments, Ustwo, and assuming that there is a small army of folks who also think and vote as you do, it will happen much later, only after current policies impoverish a wide segment of the rest of us.
