So you see my problem, how naive can you get?
Unfortunately, our elected representatives and legslators, Democrat or Republican, do not give a damn about the rest of the populace.

These 2 quotes sum up America today:

"Only a few prefer liberty;the majority seek nothing more than fair masters"-Sallust

"A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money"- Alexis de Tocqueville (economic "stimulus" plan anyone?)
