how about people stop thinking the govt will solve any problem? how about if you think something is a problem, then give money to a non profit that does something about it?  raise money for said issue?  don't think someone else will solve the problem and really don't think that a govt entity will.  they will talk a good game and want your vote, but they won't do anything about it.  because really the system isn't set up for that.
how about ...if you weren't paying close to 50% or more in taxes, the economy would be better and housing might be more affordable to all?
