Then we agree that our government has problems.  Solving them is not always a 
clear path.  I don't want "no" government.  I just like it simple and small.  
Minimalistic government, something that neither rich party will allow.

No problem there.  Send plenty of it already.  Just get out of my back yard 
now, thank you.  And while you're at it, stop doing my job of taking care of 
the sick, poor, and needy.  I'll gladly do it out of pocket.  But mandates is 
no way to care for people in need.

Great.  Economies of scale would suggest that it's not exponential.

We definitely need to limit the difference in $$$ per candidate.  Maybe get 
Joe from down the street elected president... someone uncorrupted by the 
modern governmental channels.
