4. clearly you don't understand the message that I'm trying to convey
It is kinda sad that you couldn't pick it up..

It's about working within the system to acheive change at a pace that can be managed versus nebulous radical change that can, in some cases, lead to chaos....

When Yeltsin first burst onto the scene, everyone was all excited about his embrasure of western ideals.

He was seen as the inspirational man of change - the man who stood up to the tanks and whatnot...

Folks bought into it and him... and it was to the detriment of the country as a whole.

What I ask is that you look before you leap.

From wiki

Yeltsin came to power on a wave of high expectations. On 12 June 1991 he was elected president of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic with 57% of the vote, becoming the first popularly elected president. But Yeltsin never recovered his popularity after a series of economic and political crises in Russia in the 1990s. The Yeltsin era was marked by widespread corruption, economic collapse, and enormous political and social problems. By the time he left office, Yeltsin had an approval rating of two percent by some estimates.

3. I would like to see a Change in which the Government( Pres. and
Capital Hill) put the needs of the MiddleClass Working Class
are the central consideration. IMO, the Loss of our Middle
Class is one of the greatest threats to our Democracy.

We have so many years of the Ruling Class( Upscale and Business)
having a stranglehold on Governmental Decisions that our country
is headed to Banana Republic Status.

Put Working Class Middle Class front and center and many problems
can be solved and our economy will prosper.
