Theft: a Consensus Issue

A point of grave concern I've noticed talking to both capitalists and socialists is the idea of theft. Socialists seem to think: "we need socialism to keep the financial elites from stealing from us", while the capitalists say, "we need capitalism to keep the government elites from stealing from us". Well, seems to me we need to stop theft. We agree on it, we see it, we need to stop it. It's attractive to both the left and the right, but I can't say it's bi-partisan.

Both parties have the same agenda, but different styles of execution. We do need to stop theft, and since both major parties, and the emerging tea party refuse to defend our borders, language, and culture, I've lost hope in all three of them. I only see one option left, and I encourage everyone who's tired of the corruption and lack of representation in our government to check out GOOOH. It's the only party I can find that excludes special interests and lobbyists, and focuses on what our government was designed to do: Represent the will of the people.
