It's just too big. The likelihood of corruption for anybody in such a powerful position is so overwhelming that there hasn't been a trustworthy person elected to congress/president since I can remember.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. To continue to feed it is immoral.

Then we agree on several things.
It's an often (intentionally?) overlooked fact that the original goals and reasons for action of the people who were first dubbed "tea party" are often in direct agreement with what you hear listening to General Assemblies at occupy.
I honestly was all for tea partying before the right winger talk show pundits got their tentacles so firmly entrenched and changed the spirit of the movement.
I see that happening to occupy as well, but on a lesser scale because it seems that the premise in the first place is to oust the entire monster (right and center and left.. all different aspects of the same beast) as opposed to changing from within, which has been set up from the get up to be a great cup shuffle. No meaningful change in
policy can be affected from within the current government system.
