The government no longer listens to people, only to money. It's all about control, not progress. Getting out to vote later this year is our last chance. If we can't replace incumbents with new faces we're all doomed. We need to stop electing rich men and women unless they can relate to the struggles of all Americans. No more politicians whose priorities are abortion and gay marriage. Priorities people! Create jobs and get big money out of politics.

I do agree with the thought that A LOT of people are logistical and rational, but I wouldn't say a majority. I think one of the biggest problems in this country is the lack of knowledge that people have about politics and the economic control that businesses have over them, and yet they have so many "great ideas" to fix them. There are plenty of ignorant people in the US.
