We Have a Representation Problem

America hates Independents. At least it gives that impression. Independents take just two of the 535 seats in Congress and only 20 of these outsiders sit among the nation’s 7,382 state legislators.

Occupy is in my view a huge good thing, and it changes everything. Stabs at electoral reform have been taken in the past, with legislation submitted nine times (four of those times by Ron Paul).  In each instance the two-party tyranny has laughed at the concept of real democracy--they like their monopoly and their immunity from accountability.

Tax Day!
