14. Good lord. You cannot be serious promoting dem state = bankruptcy fallacy. Take a look around at the
majority of state treasuries before making that leap of logic. What is this? Freeperville? What's with the mindless talking point?

Agree on the corruption issue.

First stop: Citizens United v. FEC. http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2009/09/09/HP/R/22917...

Ok, so the above is largely out of our hands NOW. Can't say we didn't put up the good fight against the tsunami of Glenn Beck/teabagger type of stupidity over the years. But, alas, sometimes stupidity trumps all. So, at this point, education is key. Gotta understand why things will suck so much more should this ruling go against us, right?

I do hope limiting or stopping the furious flow of cash to bloated industries that needlessly bleed the treasury dry is high on your to-do list. Isn't the Big Corps' seemingly endless PR message "less government" and "let the free market work" blah blah blah? You know, the crap that is repeated ad nauseam via RW TV & radio.

Let's see how that works out for large entities milking & bilking .gov. Wonder how long they'd survive if .gov got out of their way monetarily. Let us let big oil, big ag, big pharma, health insurers, et al. sink or swim like the rest of us. Lmao.
