Getting wholesale change isn't going to start at the top it has to start at the bottom with your state congress. It has to be a grass roots movement. The fat cats in Washington (both parties) aren't about to give up their cash cows no matter which side of the isle says what.
It's not going to change overnight though. The bad thing is that if a democrat is elected our country is going to go down a bad, bad road that will be hard to come back from. Once you start "giving out something for free" (healthcare) it's hard to take it back.
I am putting a young man from Canada in the Army. Over lunch today he told me his dad's tax rate was 46%. A pack of cigs is like 12 bucks and a 6 pack of beer is like 13 bucks. It's all taxes to help pay for the social health system that so many Americans think would be the greatest thing in the world.
