That system will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure the unholy alliance of government and corporate wealth is not disturbed. We have to be willing to go to any (peaceful) lengths to make sure it is.

Term limits is an idea that everyone I talk to supports. Probably less popular with those who are needed to pass the law. Needs to be decided by referendum maybe.
