Mitch, you show such honesty and make so many great points in this article. We can't vote our way out of this, unless we vote to dismantle the system, which is what Dr. Cornel West plans to do. He calls his campaign "a moment in a movement," and while he is running to win, he wants people to know that no one person can change the system, the goal is to seriously start a movement for real change. You will not find this message on TV. Mainstream media serves to keep use distracted from realizing our power. I read the article by James that you said prompted you to write your article. I think he misses the point that the working man doesn't want to pay more in taxes when the oil companies make obscene profits and continue to expand no matter what the people desire. This is why we need systemic change.
