The Grand New Party

[CRedskinsRule]

Essentially, the 2-party system has divided itself based on how it spends the money.

Since more than 60% of the country, rich and poor, now believe that government can distribute money in one form or another, EIC payments or tax deductions for solar energy or whatever other pet project you may deem worthy of other peoples money, a new party would have to draw from moderates. The problem is moderates won't unite behind one party because the 2 behemoths can co-opt any fledgling ideas, and leave real change behind.

The American government, originally, was limited in scope by the 10 amendments, and specifically #s 9 and 10. That is no longer the case. If the Federal government wants to force the enforcement of a law, they simply punish the bad states by withholding funds. The Supreme Court has been complicit in this growth by allowing interstate commerce regulations to weave webs of entanglement into every level of the government. The media is complicit, because they no longer try to be a neutral observer, but depending on their bias, report news that promotes their agenda.

Sadly, there is not very much chance that the country is suddenly going to agree to limiting government.

Don't know that my rant was coherent, or that it answers any significant question.

No, no new party will be created. 30% of Americans will vote Democratic come hell or high water, 30% will vote Republican come hell or high water, and the other 40% will be so divided by things like choice, healthcare, marriage, and other social divides that the 2 major parties will bring enough to one side or the other to squash any silly new idea, like limited, representative, government of the people.
