Thank you, madfloridian, for your constant work in bringing these issues to our attention. It is critically important that we realize that Democrats as well as Republicans are often just as much the problem. When you sacrifice your principles, you are left with nothing. I can't afford to vote for someone who will do so. My future and my children's future are too important. The system must change, because it is hurting us all. I think socialism is the answer, and unfortunately I can see a time in the not-so-distant future when I may have to leave this wonderful site because of the insanity of those who believe we can continue heading down this path and somehow things will get better.
