Xboy,
I struggled with this for a long time. Over a two years. But then I went to Las Vegas last year to a Campaign for Liberty event and listened closely to Ron Paul.
Dr. Paul has run as a third party candidate before and as such probably has a unique experience. If you know or follow the man you know that he is a deep thinker. He will be the first to say that there is no discernable difference between the two parties in general – with one off exceptions. He guidance was twofold.
Most Americans want a third party becasue they want immediate results. Getting a third party on enough ballots is extrodianrily difficult. And when people see that difficulty the inertia of that party will be lost quickly (remember Ross Perot?).
He says that the most pragmatic approach should be to change the parties from within. What that means is no immediate results. It means people – individuals – getting involved in their district county politics and not just sending checks. Volunteering for the local party leadership positions and working. Being an indian and not a cheif. Knocking on doors and making your friends aware of the issues. That – if I am so bold as to summrize Dr. Paul’s views; is the only way to battle the lobbies that have our current politicians in their back pocket.

That how deep in the hole this country is.

I completely disagree with you former. This Govertment/Private Sector metric has been around for a long time. Your arguement is not based on any relevent data point on this logic. The fact (as factual as any statictic can be) is that the public employees (whose salaries come from taxes only) is going up at a faster pace then the private sector.
That this fact is inflamtory is the WHOLE POINT and it speaks to taking action….not dismissing the point.
Oh and let’s not forget my favorite line from the Pulbic Sector Union rep, “compensation gap reflects the increasingly high level of skill and education required for most federal jobs and the government contracting out lower-paid jobs to the private sector in recent years.”
Where do I start?
Uhmm let’s see. Ok…The SEC with Madoff…..they were so skilled. Even with the private sector sounding alarm after alarm they seemed to have not earned their pay. But’s what’s $65 billion anyway.
Should we look at how well BTO and FDIC did in policing the balance sheets of the too big to fails? How much will that end up costing us? How about the $8billion in cash that Dod “lost” in Afganistan. With that kind of skill in our federal employees who needs crooks and enemies.

Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
