People somehow overlook this simple explanation. They take professional politicians seriously. The get sucked up into the Democrats are liberal and Republicans are conservative game. It's just another example of the lemming mentality.

The creation of The Electoral College was somewhat of an insult to the average voter. There was a belief among the elite founding fathers that voters were quite incapable of making sound, informed decisions.

The pragmatism that played into the creation of the E.C. has since been replaced with instant communication technology.

Instant Runoff Elections need to be implemented, both locally and nationally, and The Electoral College needs to be put to sleep.

Private Sector Power and Money

First thing we need to do is get rid of those central planning, communist bankers: The Federal Reserve Bank, the largest, most evil corporation in existence, posing as an entity of the federal government just because they have the word "federal" in their name.

See Aaron Russo's newly released movie regarding these mutants:

Follow the money and yank this evil corporate charter out by the roots or the more things change, the more they will stay the same.
