I was Democrat for alot of years, but since they are no longer about supporting the little guy, I abandoned them. You should do the same. We need a third party and get someone who abides by our laws in office. You won't find that person in any of the two parties, except for just a few.
I agree with you, Rockfish! I am a registered Republican, but after all the crap I have seen from both parties, I am changing to non-partisian. It seems to me that no one is looking out for the people anymore. It's pretty sad.
I'm a registered republican too. If we vote a third party is like no voting at all. Our voting system has to be changed from Electoral vote to a Popular vote system:

Opponents claim that in an Electoral College model, voting fraud is a larger problem. In a popular vote system, it is claimed, fraudulent votes could become essentially neutralized by the large amount of legal votes across the nation, while with the College, with state-sized contests, fraudulent votes could garner a larger effect.

We have been a country that laws are not easily changed. Income tax according to the original US constitution was illegal and still is:
Quote:
The federal income tax and social security tax are unconstitutional and illegal; the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (the income tax amendment) never even came close to being ratified in 1913; federal
income taxes are voluntary, not compulsory, and there is no law that requires citizens to file and pay federal income taxes or to pay into the social security system; any such requirement would violate our 5th Amendment rights -- these are some of the conclusions of a substantial body of very credible evidence that has been mounting for several years. People have been focused on trying to decipher an incomprehensible tax code; very few have noticed that the code itself is illegal. It's a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. And experts close to the tax code, such as tax lawyers and accountants, do not have a financial interest in looking very closely or critically at its actual foundations, only at its details.
