Maggie's Farm

But Koch's 'solution' is to give government more power over political speech by limits on campaign money. As if that would solve the problem - which I doubt. It will be nothing more than an exercise in statutory Gerrymandering. Just who does he think will be involved in any Constitutional amendment drafting? I suspect it will be the selfsame pols we have in office now. Anyone trust them?

He thinks the problem is partisanship. An alternative theory is that our elected officials are merely reflecting the ideological divide within the country.

Here's a link to a provocative synopsis of that divide:

I believe the solution is to take power away from government, not give it more. Government function, outside of the military, should be one of fiduciary, not social engineer. I'm tired of coercive utopians telling me how to live my life. From either side of the political spectrum. And that includes their enabling support groups too.
