What type of government do you wish to live under?

[Oddball]

Our Government is a Constitutional Republic Governed By The Rule of Law. Our economic system is Capitalism.

Obama is attempting to change our government to European Socialism and our economy to the Keynesian System. This type of economics has never had a long term positive effect.

France, Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal have employed Socialism and Keynesian Economics.
How do you think they are doing?

Why has POTUS been going forward to a failed Political and Economic system. Does he expect a different out come?

You do the research to prove me wrong.

We don't live "under" a constitutional republic....The politicians and bureaucrats who are to serve us and protect our liberties are supposed to live under We the People.

That's the way it's suppose to be but it ain't! The politicians and bureaucrats serve Big Money and about the only time they care about "We the People" is when elections are coming up.

Gross overgeneneralization, to the point of caricature.

There are plenty of "big money" operators out there who are harming nobody, who would just as soon be left alone (see: US Bank and Wells Fargo), that get stongarmed into the "my way or the highway" attitude of the District of Criminals and its minions.

With a dictatorial attitude like that, is it little wonder that there are people who seek to buy them off?

I do not want to be subject to a government, I want the government to be subject to the citizens.

US Bank is basically a fine bank, Wells Fargo has paid billions in fines because of their illegal procedures ala mortgages that have affected millions of lives. And yet, no one has gone to jail.

Our government is an unconstitutional republic governed by the rule of law as interpreted by men, and our economic system is corporatism.

Obama can't change our government to "European Socialism," because socialism is an economic system not a political system. And he can't change our economy to "the Keynesian system" because we've been following Keynesian economics since before Keynes was even around.

Keynesian Economics has never been used by the USA, until Obama became President.

Socialism: Generally, we may take the term to describe those doctrines which seek to increase the power of society and the state to determine political, social, and economic processes, as against traditional mechanisms and institutions favored by conservatives, and individuals and the market as advocated by liberals. In common usage, the dividing line between socialism and communism is not always clear or sharp, but may be taken to be between those socialists who subscribe to the basic doctrines of Karl Marx, and those socialists who do not.
Socialism - Information, Facts, and Links

Socialism is a general term for the political and economic theory that advocates a system of collective or government ownership and management of the means of production and distribution of goods. Because of the collective nature of socialism, it is to be contrasted to the doctrine of the sanctity of private property that characterizes capitalism. Where capitalism stresses competition and profit, socialism calls for cooperation and social service.

Obviously, government and society must change under Socialism, dim wit.

Scrapping what we have and returning to the Articles of Confederation suits me just fine.

Never before, huh? FDR wasn't a Keynesian? Woodrow Wilson wasn't a Keynesian? Teddy Roosevelt, the great trust-buster himself? Richard Nixon didn't declare that "We're all Keynesians now?"

As for socialism, Sweden is an example of "European Socialism," probably the prototypical case study honestly, and they're not a dictatorship like Cuba, China, or North Korea.

Whoops, I never answered the question.
I'd like our government set up they way it was supposed to be, sans Big Money. That way our elected officials would actually represent "We the People". That way we'd probably have a functional government instead of a dysfunctional government. That way we probably wouldn't have gridlock and things would actually get done because Big Money wouldn't be dictating policy and basically driving our political parties' agenda.
In other words, Big Money is ruining our country and the concept of "We the People".

Big money is not the problem, but the quest for the power, is. There is big money on both sides and it has a vested interest in promoting it's own agenda.
I hear the left complain about Citizens United, but they seem to have no problem with SEIU having the same rights as corporations that donate to Conservative candidates.
