When do we start encouraging entrepreneurs and small businesses, by scrapping thousands of local, state and federal laws that forever bar them from being able to compete with the likes of Wal-mart, GM or Pfizer? If Joe B. American wants to open a store, build a car or create a drug - the system is stacked to crush him before he even starts.

When do we excise the politicians that give special license to those who profit by underhanded business practices because their campaign is funded by those same underhanded dollars?

Tapping more and more from the rich - our national money reservoirs - without turning off the politicians' faucets filling the bathtubs of special interests at full blast will never pay off the debt and will only enrich the politicians and other already "rich" folks.

By default this tends to take from the "honest" rich and give to the "dishonest" rich. Hardly much of an improvement for the national debt or the average American.
