America became the greatest country that ever existed or that ever will as a result of a capitalistic free-market system. That system determined the winners and losers, not government bureaucrats in Washington. We the people, in the last few decades, have been giving that freedom away by sending people to Washington who have more interest in their own re-elections than in representing those who placed them there (at present I’m ignoring their thirst for power and control). They are being sent there by those who vote for the promise of “more for nothing” and those who refuse to see that long-term socialism cannot succeed (simultaneous “takers and makers” are guaranteed suicide).
BTW, this is not politics, but proven history.

tedquick: Well stated and citizens here who just blink and deflate will rue the day. Look all around the world and people are risking there lives for what we take for granted.
As to politicians they all way know and have known this has been going on for a long time. Far too many use it to their advantage. This ONE issue can bring down America because people are becoming too frustrated knowing election results are being massaged. Al Franken's election was classic fraud.
How do you get people to act that benefit. Perhaps we will have to resort to insisting on inked stained fingers to at least stop the multiple voting
