A democracy is useless when the population has no idea of who or why there voting for a candidate. Hence the biggest repercussion of the 2 party system. A generation that is uneducated and unaware of what should be done for the common good. Screw the 2 parties and your allegiance to them, let us become a generation of educated rationale people, guided by common sense and rationale, not by the members of the party we most likely have no idea why were registered too. I am a proponent of the fair tax system, an idea that taxes what you spend not what you earn, thus the people paying the most taxes are the ones that are spending the most on non essential items. As far as businesses goes we might be to far gone, capitalism is suppose to give every business the freedom through a free market to have no limits or government ceilings to it's financial growth. But because of the value consumers put on price rather quality, convenience over service and countless tax breaks, under the table deals and mass land acquisitions, capitalism has created an economy that is monopolized by very few. At it's core this form of economy will always eat up the middle class. It has a peak, when companies cost go down the more product and land they purchase they then can not only buy out the competition, they can expand to become every small retailers competitor. IN the 60 and 70's Wal Mart and Target would have been between 20-30 small business's we the consumer have allowed 20 small business owners become 20 employee's at wal mart. Our lack of foresight, blind acceptance of the 2 party system and buy now pay later mind have set us on course for a 2 class society. Very rich, and very poor. An us and them America which set's the table for corrupt politicians and idealist to be elected as our leaders out of desperation. Start with un bias education of children,realize the importance and power of the people's ability to change things. We the people have to take the country back, take time out of our lives and dedicate it to organization and strategic action to set the wheels in motion that will create tangible, timely real changes to ultimately create a better country and world. Stop taking for granted the power of "we the people" the ability to create and change our own fate given to us by men that put it all on the line and sacrificed it all for us. I doubt they envision the helpless, complaining , apathetic pass the buck selfish generation that we are.
