64. Kucinich is the only candidate
That truly speaks from his heart and mind. I'm sorry but it's true. It's unfortunate that our handlers would never let him get elected.

Without public only campaign finance, our elections and our government will always be nothing more than a front for the true decision makers: the corporations.

I believe that by reinstituting the fairness doctrine, and removing all private funding for elections we could get people of real principle in our government. Until then, the Washington herd will continue to be culled of all virtue.

Armed revolutions will never work again in America. For one thing the propaganda would come down so hard on you your fellow citizens would shoot you in the back... but if they didn't the government would squash you like a bug.

The only way to win I'm afraid is to stop fueling the system with our interest payments as has been suggested. But it's very difficult to get to that point... they have it set up so you make just enough to where if you want to get by or if something unexpected happens (like a speeding ticket) you have to take on more debt.

For myself, I've recently decided to get an MBA. I would like to work from a position of influence to change some of the policies that have destroyed the middle class. I would someday like to head a major corporation, and push for a balanced life for my workers and a living wage. There are some companies in America with a heart. Unfortunately most of the the people in murica who go into business/politics are reptilian.

Why don't more people like us work from within the system to change it? Flailing around at the edges doesn't seem to be working very well :(

We need more people with money and influence to steer the system and hand it back to the citizens.
