I find this to be unacceptable as I'm not a fan of an ever increasing centralized government, and we supposedly have a constitutional republic as opposed to a democracy.

Why not return much of the governmental control, along with the money, to the states, or "power to the people" as I've heard it put? For no other reason than the corporate interests would no longer be able to control the country by buying off only 535 people.

Personally, if I MUST have a master, I'd like to keep him close enough that I can go burn down his barn if he pisses me off enough. Or I can organize and get his ass voted out of office.

Try going after anyone inside of the beltway and see how far you get.

Try voting out any powerful people outside of elected office and see how far you get.
