Exactly how do you propose that the average citizen stops it from "going on"? Thru the ballot box when we are only allowed to vote for a pre-chosen candidate from one of the two equally corrupt major parties or perhaps an independent who has zero chance because he doesn't have the party machine and money behind him? Or maybe joining a feel good protest rally that will be totally ignored by the political power elite? Or perhaps you will grab your hunting rifle and march on DC to overpower the military establishment and establish a new better govt.?
Face it dude - the average middle class American is SCREWED!]]>
