Add a third party, rewrite the tax code, make education free, get lobbyists out of Washington, balance our budget, take care of our sick.
What does all of that mean? These are the complaints I have been seeing on these boards over the last month, the sins of our government. How do we fix them, how do we make them happen? In my mind there are few options.
We can destroy the system from the ground up and make a new one, we can adjust the existing system to try and shore up this sinking ship, or we can let things move on as they have been and assume the people in charge are doing what we need them to do. I do not want to promote a revolution that will change the world we live in, I do not believe the ship can be fixed any longer as it has taken on to much water, and if we go on as we are nothing will change.
So, who wants to make a new government from the ground up?
No more this party that party, We are all One, Eliminate the election process start General Assemblies{ Community, State, National}Let communities decide whats good for their communty, Take Community info to State, then National Levels..Everyone is elected,and give everyone a stipend for helping with governing their communities..
Considering we have one of the highest standards of living on the planet, the highest average wage on the planet, the richest lower class, and a better environmental condition than most other countries.... I would not like us to start from the ground up.
Our constituional republic is a unique and very successful form of government.
I'm a farmer. I know a good machine from a crappy one (read Egypt). But a good machine in the hands of a lousy operator leads to damaged equipment and loss of crop leading to hunger and debts. we're coming out with better machines all the time but keeping the machine i have running productively means i can aquire a state-of-the-art machine sooner. So let's fix the machine we have (the ballot box is your tool box) while we discuss the new machine.
There are already plenty of third parties, none of which can even penetrate the atmosphere of American politics. Clearly we need a Conservative party for all the freaks so they can stop destroying the once-good name of the Republican party, and we need a Socialist party so the Democrats can stop being accused of being far left when they're right in the center.
Convince all existing 3rd parties to join the 99
Ross Perot might chip in a few bucks to fund NGA

It is not about politics. We don't need politicians to rid us of Wall Street crimes. We can do it ourselves, and are doing it.
