See that makes no sense to me even if you see that the government is screwed up by law you must pay the taxes it levies upon you so this is going to cost you and me and everyone more money.So apathy is not an option when money comes from your pocket unless you are a nihilist which I am just about 100% certain you are not.

I see this as divide and conquer you say the people are so polarized with this I highly disagree the ones being lead by the pied pipers are but they are actually the minority.If you really looked you would see that most people even of different stripes who may not agree on all things want to work together it can be done.The problem is that you have pundits smashing size 12 shoes like Nikita Khrushchev and they get all the attention.

The Main attraction distraction is what I call it.All the while the ones that benefit from all of this laugh all the way to the bank.
