I have to agree chucklyons. Here in NYS, we have a Dem assembly and a Rep senate (soon to probably change to the Dems), and the highest taxes in the entire country. (Property taxes on my 1,600 sq. ft., working class neighborhood house: almost $4,000.) Politicians of all stripes could care less about the people they’re supposed to serve. They simply care about reelection, and consolidation of their own power.

The Dems are clearly worse here in NYS, but the Reps have been giving them a run for their money.

In the end, this election should be about limiting the amount of power that elected officials have. Do you want a bigger, more expansive, more powerful centralized government, or do you want less? Even with some of the problems I have with McCain, the choice seems obvious.

God help us all.
