Hmm... what's the best way to phrase this...

Do you support the complete or near-complete retirement and replacement, through peacable means, of the current governmental system of the United States, including, but not limited to, those holding public office of any sort, the offices as defined, the various organizations, and the system of taxation?

I guess that's about it. And I bet I'm on about 40 watch lists right now.

That is pretty vague

IRS for sure. Got to Fairtax.org and get on the fairtax bandwagon. The fairtax would be the best thing in America since...............

Does that mean we would have a few million less government employees?

If you mean getting rid of all senators, representatives, etc, and replacing them with non-politicians... eliminating or seriously reducing many federal agencies(FDA, ATF, IRS)... putting an end to career politicians. Then I vote YES(which was my vote in this poll). If you mean redefining the house, senate, the different branches of government to be different than orignially intended, then NO.

George Soros gets a woody every time he reads something like this.

The rich and powerful will pick the replacements, and you and I, my friend, are SOL.

The people will eventually retire. The system of taxation, offices,etc is/ are based on the laws that YOUR reps that YOU vote into office establish. Don't like how they vote? Vote them out. Simple as that.

Yes.

what needs to be changed are the proffessional politicians and lawyers.

the system works fine

fair tax + term limits on almost everyone so that career politicians are eliminated would be good enough to start with for me.
