My fear is the coming disaster. Something will trigger a meltdown. Our huge debt will prevent the government from buying our way out of disaster. With so many now favorable to socialism, all private wealth would be confiscated. We would all be reduced to poverty, but we all would be the same -- just as Socialism mandates -- but we all know the ruling class would have more. All are equal, but some are always more equal, eh?

How does the constitution lock us into a 2 party system? They want representatives to be based on population and for every state, still the same. They want 2 senators per state, still the same.
Initially the vice president was the guy who came in second in the voting. That seems confused, but it indicates the founders were not trying to establish a 2 party system.
