		<description><![CDATA[2016&#039;s election will be neither free nor fair. Obama has spent five years ensuring that Democrats and no one else controls voting down to precinct level from now on. It does not matter whether Hillary is the nominee and it does not matter who gets the Republican nomination. The Democrat will win.

		<description><![CDATA[I agree about corporatism. It hurts the economy by moving goods and services from efficient uses to less efficient uses. Free markets tend to maximize efficiency. When force is introduced into a market productivity inevitably suffers. 

Purchased votes are more dependent on when the purchase is made rather than the number of votes. That&#039;s why the Iowa caucuses are first in the nation. 

Interestingly, three different candidates won the Iowa caucuses. First it was Romney, then it was Santorum but the candidate who actually took away the largest number of Iowa delegates was Ron Paul. However, the only thing that mattered was Romney&#039;s initial win. From that point on he was basically the man to beat. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been convinced more and more in each year of Obama&#039;s regime that only a major calamity will wake up enough Americans to realize that leftist progressives are destroying this nation because we cannot keep increasing poverty levels and entitlement programs at the same time that the rich get richer while the middle class is being annihilated. Socialism will not bring utopia. It never did and never will, regardless of how those dependent on it may feel today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That is another form of wealth transfer, corporatism, and it is a huge problem, but not so much because of the total dollar amount of cash changing hands but because it corrupts the economy. You have politicians, and bureaucrats appointed by politicians, making decisions about which businesses or industries get money and which do not, and who wins and who looses. As Solyndra has show, government is far from being the best judge over what looks like a good business proposition, solar energy isn&#039;t reliable enough even in the sun belt states. These practices should discontinue immediately, including the agriculture subsidies, given how many votes they actually represent it just does not make any sense even from the prospect of buying votes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem is multifaceted and multi-layered. Besides the elements the author mentions, we have half the public invested in the entitlement state. We have a moribund economy, that hasn&#039;t the jobs to provide to the public, if we start to cut back on entitlements. A depression, certain to result from cuts in federal spending will impact America far more than did the depression of the 30&#039;s because we no longer have the manufacturing base we once had and, a service economy depends upon a certain level of employment. It has a tipping point, where poverty becomes a self-reinforcing death spiral. None of this is accidental, the left has  calculated, engineered and facilitated these circumstances.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;how are &quot;we the people&quot; going to get candidates in office who will de-fund or dismantle these insidious entitlements&quot;&lt;/i&gt; 

We the people can&#039;t do it at the Presidential level, the 2012 election after 4 years of complete incompetence by Obama proved that. We can&#039;t do it at the State Senatorial level as Cuccinelli in the Va. Governor&#039;s race proved. 



But we CAN do it at the House of Representatives level. And the House controls the purse. What has kept the House from stopping the growth of the Entitlement and regulatory State in its tracks is the collaboration of the GOP leadership, which is beholden to its big donors, who do NOT want a return to limited government an unregulated capitalistic market forces. 


Elect enough Tea Party members to the House and they can block the raising of taxes, refuse to raise the debt and block the predictable move to impeach Tea Party members of the House. 


That would stop the left cold and force the Federal government to operate within a budget.]]></description>
