That is all the Founding Fathers gave to us...and it is depressing to realize how far we have drifted from it. The core of the problem has no political ideology (the founders hated the thought of political parties after all) but instead is a result of the corrupting power of money (capitalism at its finest).
When only 132 Americans gave 60% of all the"SuperPac" money that financed candidates in the 2012 election...something is very, very, wrong...
This TED Talk by Lawrence Lessig is well worth listening to --- and I am thinking the Supreme Court justices who gave us the abomination of the "corporations are people" stance might benefit most...hearing what the founders REALLY intended.).
