Yeah sure. If I were the President I would work to reduce taxes or replace our current tax system with a nationwide flat sales tax and eliminate all other taxes. While I'm at it, I would change our current welfare system. Welfare should only be for only the most needy people or for those who are unable to work due to severe disabilities. Any able bodied person receiving welfare will be required to perform community service. I would build a fence between the US and Mexico to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. I would covertly monitor all activities at mosques and spy on suspected terrorists. I would also change social security so that each citizen could invest their money in whichever retirement fund they choose. I would get the government out of our school system. Tax dollars used for education would be put into vouchers so that parents could choose which schools their children attend. I would increase taxes on all goods imported from "unfriendly" nations, i.e., China, Russia, etc. This would discourage people from buying from and supporting nations that work against our best interest and values. I would make any loans to other countries contingient upon their support for our fight against terrorism.

HECK yeah it is. This bi-partisan system is deeply dividing and seriously destroying our country...All the power is between the democrats and the republicans...no one else even has a chance in elections. The independant party is just a pawn. It is just a repeat of the cold war...2 superpowers (Democrats and Republicans) at war with eachother without firing a single shot. This is what leads to all of the corruption in the government, and this is why nothing ever changes within the government.

Everybody is saying vote vote vote...and they are right....
BUT...BEFORE YOU VOTE....
Learn the issues and find the candidates that SUPPORT what you believe. No candidate will support your views 100%...be ready to give and take. Don't just go out and randomly vote because it's the last name you heard on tv or because of their political party...
ALSO...do NOT just go by the political campaigns. They are aimed to make you believe things..they are byast. DO THE RESEARCH...there are sites online that are very good at presenting what the candidates all believe. Find them. Use them. Vote but vote intelligently...PLEASE vote intelligently.
I am all for people getting out there and voting to get things to change...however....please do so responsibly. Do your own research....don't let the commercials do it for you. Learn why current candidates voted the way they did...many times it's not because they disagree with the point of the bill...many times it's because of one little thing thrown in that they do not want. Just like when Bush didn't sign any bills because they all had the "The US does not support torture" clause tacked onto them....I hope I have convinced you to vote...but to do research before you do so...

Yes without a doubt. That is why if you are a citizen of the USA you can VOTE and RUN for office..and change things on the city, county, state, and federal levels. Encourage every one to get up, get out and VOTE. Then things will change.
AS long as only 30-40% of the voting population is willing to get off their collective behinds and vote things will not change as much or as quickly as they could/can.

Absolutely and the 1st thing is to take our military prowess to K street. Make lobbying illegal. It is in all other Democratic institutions. Redistrict all areas based on geography and not on political influence in certain areas. Cut military budget in half and use the billions to take care of its people. A lot of good the government is doing spending billions on terror when they can't prevent killings in schools and the myriad other violence that is happening in our society.

Yes. Bush and other presidents are elected ONLY by THIS secret and evil group that's been in control of everything for far too long!...

I see no reason to reform the structure of our government. We just need some intelligent,rational,competent leaders that think more about the good of our nation and less about filling their own pockets.

Going nowhere?
Why reform now when we are on the verge of Glory?
This is as far as we've been since the first half of 1776, when we had a REAL king!
