That's a good question. We have to develop a strategy for this, but without a big bargaining chip in our hand they have no reason to listen to us or act on our wishes. Normally it's money and/or power that gets their ear, but over the course of centuries there has been other factors that directed them also. Religion for example.

We don't have money, nor any real power.

The bargaining chip would have to be created by finding a way to pry them away from the trough.

How can the current national discontent be harnessed to whack the politicians between the eyes and get them to listen and do for once?

the problem is and will get worse , their voting power

As more and more anchors get to voting age you can be sure they will vote race over anything else

Just like the blacks with obama

Lots of them were stone cold ignorant of any issues , they just perceived that a black man in office was going to give them more free stuff.

The same with latinos , as their power grows they will want more power

Its going to be a Kosovo all over again here in a few years , they want more favors and more perks

Its a perfect storm in so many ways

Do you assume that the status quo in as far as the US economy will continue to sustain the entitlement/welfare system? I don't see that happening, because the money has to come from somewhere. Eventually it will come down to every man for himself. I've already seen some signs of it. When the cupboard is bare, attitudes start to change and reality sets in.
