The Governments and political systems of the world are mere buffer zones between the countries citizens and the real power behind the actions of Governments, Shrinking the size of government and corperations who act for the Government will only serve to make their activities invisible, they will be driven beyond close scutiny, I personally would prefer to see the corruption, Corperations acting for and within Government departments can be more easily monitered by regulatory bodies...

Con't ...Okay these regulatory bodies do fail in their duties, and perhaps deliberately so, but they are all we have to preserve the integrity of our species. There is no escaping the activity of 'Back scratching' and 'Favour Swapping' it is an integral part of Freemasonry it is their way, we just have to accept that the only way to fight this is to maintain our liberty and free speech, We much resist, every time there is new law restricting our freedom, our liberty, they get stronger.

i say we demand change in congress because the reality of things is that the govt violates the people's rights to become more powerful. We demand change- if diplomacy doesn't work we start a revolution.

You obviously didn't pay attention to the video. The financial system is the most heavily regulated sector of our economy and look what happened. Madoff was visited many times by "regulators", did it help? NO! Government breeds corruption. You probably think FDR cured the great depression too, huh?

If it's so regulated, how can ppl walk off & steal tax payer money? I dont know what your definition of regulation is, but it may be alittle off. In truth, I believe the govt as a whole is one crooked ass organization that has done enough just to keep the country rolling, but they're robbing the hell out of us. I dont trust them as far as I can throw them.

I think it's hilarious when people try to undermind you by assuming how you feel about a different topic. Make an ass out of themselves.

Exactly! Not sure why you have a problem w/ the video if that's the way you feel.

"how can ppl walk off & steal tax payer money?"
because the government mentioned above lets their friends do it. The stimulus didn't go to you and me, it went to the bankers and wall st.

Still not sure why you have a problem w/ the video.

...and the regulations are generally written by special interests and lobbyists for their own benefit anyway.

Flat Tax would be a great first step. Everyone knows it, yet it never passes. In fact, it never gets any attention at all. Ask yourself why? Do you know why?  The answer is the same as it is for everything - greed, money, and power. so how are you going to get Flat Tax passed?

You are correct in assuming that shrinking the government will indeed reduce the corruption in Washington. It would be a step in the right direction for many reasons, but the corruption will continue, unabated, wherever the money and power land. More regulations and laws won't change that. For real, lasting, and significant change to occur, it has to come from within.
