9. Winning all three elected branches didn't do it
What are the vast majority of us supposed to do when we work hard to get Dems elected, and then the needs of the corporations still trump the needs of the vast majority of Americans.

This is why I've suggested on other posts perhaps some Americans out there are contemplating the fix that we used to start this country in the first place:

The violent overthrow of a tyrannical government that taxes us all but does not represent us.

I'm anti war and non violent, but is there ever anything in my life that I would be willing to fight and die for? I am so pissed at the current state of affairs that I could possibly give my life to a cause that would return our country to a system of elected representation, where the politicians actually serve those that elected them. Being 55 and out of work may be a big factor in my feelings here.....
