Working within the system?

Many times, I wonder if working within the system is all its cut out to be. We have a system of government which is continuously plundering its citizens. The vast majority of Americans believe it is OK to live at the expense of everyone else.

As we get near another election season I see alot of talk about "taking America back". Exactly what are we taking it back to? Maybe it's just a popular term that people say without truly thinking about it.

I'm lukewarm about the success of the Tea Party movement. It appears that most of the supporters are going for corporatist GOP candidates. There are a few exceptions, Rand Paul, Peter Schiff, RJ Harris and some others. But look at the Scott Brown victory in MA. This guy is a socialist! He was considered a Tea Party candidate and he was FOR universal healthcare and supported Romneycare.

How can this be changed?
