[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4099691, member: 18225"] I don’t disagree. I just think we’re talking about a system that we agree on some level is ‘broken’, and we’re discussing radical ways of fixing it. What I’m saying is that money and power have corrupted that system. It’s not that the system is broken, it’s that it’s been infected by money and greed. Honestly, it’s been this way since the founding of this country. The ‘common man’ was never really supposed to have very much say at all. How old is this nation? When did women get the ‘right’ to vote? When did black people get the ‘right’ to vote? We take things for granted today that simply didn’t exist 100 years ago. It’s never not been the case that money and power control the levers in our system...it’s been a constant struggle since day one for the citizenry to assert its rightful power. I don’t work for the President, or the Senate, or the House, or... Sure couldn’t tell by looking at things, it seems they don’t work me or you either. There’s a remedy for that: The ballot box.
