a little late but i will have to strongly disagree. it doesn't matter whether we elect democrats or republicans. the government has become corrupt mainly because of the money involved. somehow they've managed to either scare us or convince us to become apathetic. it's OUR right as well as OUR resposibility to keep the government in check. The government should be eleceted to serve and represent us. they should fear us. peoples fear of losing their guns shouldn't cause them to run out and buy as many guns as they can. that fear should drive the people to assemble and send a message that they refuse to let their rights be taken away. while i don't think the country's dead, i do think it's a titanic headed for an iceberg. however, the people steering the ship into the iceberg are we the people. that iceberg is a depression and a collapsed society that if it doesn't end up happening in this recession it will happen in the near future. in past recessions we've been able to spend our way out. with lower and lower wages and increasing personal debt it's only a matter of time until it all comes crashing down.
the government hands the country over to corporations leading to rules, regulations and tax breaks benefiting large corporations and damaging middle america. and we just stand by and watch.
the government takes power away from the unions [url "http://www.dickmeister.com/id89.html"]http://www.dickmeister.com/id89.html[/url] leading to lower wages and fewer benefits (from union jobs as well as companies trying to compete for employees and companies trying to prevent unions). and we just stand by and watch.
healthcare costs reach an unaffordable level or at least near an unaffordable level. premiums and copayments continue to go up while coverage continues to go down. yet politicians who accept money from healhtcare companies as well as healthcare insurance companies claim that this is they way our healthcare system should be. they throw out scare words like socialism to keep us scared. it doesn't matter to them they have great healthcare benefits which oh by the way are paid for by you and i. and we just stand by and watch.
These are just a few of our problems that WE are responsible for.

Obama will enter the White House at a moment of economic crisis worse than anything the nation has seen since the Great Depression; the old assumptions of free-market fundamentalism have, like a charlatan’s incantations, failed to work, and the need for some “new machinery” is painfully obvious. the new yorker
