Jayanand I respect your intelligence, your historical and financial 
knowledge.
However to say that governing a country with the cultural diversity
and history of the US of A is, "at the core ?very simple." sounds just plain 
silly.

While I live in Wisconsin and currently feel the effects of one state 
government
I'm very well aware that these extreme measures are being hammered down
upon other states along with the same agenda on a national level.

In exceptional times and places we choose not to wait for election cycles.
We don't want to clean up the severe damage that will be done by these 
irresponsible individuals.

You keep asking why we haven't done anything about the banksters.
This is the time and place. We're up; awake; dealing with it; as best we can.

As you keep asking us - why do you put up with it?
Why did you vote for them?
And what would you replace them with?
