To begin with, most of our elected republicans, both state and federal, have signed Grover's blood oath to not raise taxes, ever. So, there is NO hope of compromise in Congress. It's not going to happen. Democrats are willing to cut entitlements but will not do it unless there are offsetting revenues and an increase in the top marginal rates. We therefore are ungovernable when it comes to spending and taxing.

The only way out of this is a constitutional amendment to change the way we elect our government. We need to do it through public financing and eliminate special interest and corporate spending. You can vote every incumbent out of office and the new people elected will be corrupted before the next election cycle.

So, if you think the fact that the richest 400 people in America control more wealth than the bottom 150 million is OK. Fine. I don't.
