Kind of like one of those reality shows that has already been pre-planned....LOL I know this is going to sound far fetched, but I was in bed awake the other night, and suddenly I got to thinking that the democratic and republican parties are just playing the bad cop, good cop game with everything about health care reform, finance reform etc..already having been decided by the mutual consent of both parties.

I was really hoping at the very least for a public option, right now politically it seems like we are getting more of the same. I won't settle for a mandate on a token hcr bill without a public option. I will get the word out on your site. Outstanding reading, I am glad you posted your website on commondreams.org.

It's a two pronged approach that takes unified effort and guts on the part of at least 50% of the middle class who are fearful of the prospect that their children's futures will go down the toilet and their own "retirement years" will turn into an impoverished struggle. We must "Starve the Dual-Headed Beast of Greedy Capital and Corrupted Government". So, stop paying taxes as much as possible. Increase W-2 deductions to the point that virtually nothing is withheld and then file extensions without paying. Don't pay real estate taxes. Secondly, refuse to pay credit card and other loan balances on accounts where one is charged interest that is more than 2% above the prime rate. Proposals calling for voting out all the incumbents has an appealing ring--but the replacements will either already be "bought" by the big-money interests or will be soon after arrival in the legislative halls. The banks and governments can't possibly foreclose on everyone or throw everyone in jail (though the privatized prison industry would love that). If people care more about their FICO score than their democratic rights--then Jefferson was right--we deserve what we get. Once the money flow is cut dramatically, people of reason (not the Lipton Teabag Idiots), people who are vetted and selected (see Get Out Of Our House effort) for their intellect, honesty and honest patriotism can begin building a system of governance and commerce that serves the common good. Did I say COMMon--oh my, those first four letters appear at the beginning of Communism. I believe that, given information based on real facts, most people can think their way well beyond the blatant stupidity that is represented by Glenn Beck. We won't find out unless we derail this runaway train. Left on the track, it will destroy any hope we have for a democratic society that fairly rewards true talent and honest labor and simultaneouly helps improve the condition of those who struggle with poverty, illness, lack of education and discriminatory conditions. Though my prescription will temporarily inflict pain on many who rely on the government, I do not see any other way. As local communities inspired by the prospect of real reform--we will find ways to help those in need--to help each other build anew a society and governance that is worthy to be called America.

If we can get past the campaign contributions and insurance industry pressure, this state can dig ourselves out of the hole. Or, we can sit back and wait for a 39% increase in rates, as California just experienced. What better way to attract companies, jobs, and taxpayers to Wisconsin?
