Why do we continue to allow congrss to rule us?

Please stop letting congress define the issues and start defining them yourselves. If you want to reduce the size of gov. then start repealng 50 years of hippie legislation that are destroying this country and our lifestyles. Close the EPA, CDC, DOEnergy, DOEduc., DHS, IRS, BIA, ETC., ETC. ETC. Then we'll talk about a reasonable flat tax, AFTER the trash has been taken out.
