"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." - Henry David Thoreau

As long as big money continues to dominate our political system, railing against the countless examples of unfairness or incompetence in our government is just idle chatter. Trying to solve any government problem without first addressing big money is merely hacking at the branches of evil. Big money in government is the root cause of practically every woe discussed on our political blogs. Until we solve the supreme political problem, everything else will remain essentially unchanged (or get even worse).

Big money in government is a cancerous rot that leaves no part of our government unscathed. Other than letting off steam, what good does it do to prattle on about various examples of our corrupt government when we're hardly putting any effort into solving the underlying root cause? Unless we start striking at the root of evil, our government will continue merrily down the road to world destruction.

Getting big money out of government won't be easy. In fact, it can't possibly be done using our current political system (because big money controls our political system and obviously won't let that happen). We need a revolutionary change in our political system before any real change (change you can believe in) can even begin to happen.
