Unfortunately, corruption has been a part of our system virtually from the start. The answer lies in smaller gov't., not more or more regulation. It's sad, if the founding fathers were alive today, they and their ideals would be called far right wing radicals and that they had no clue to the values of America

Yes. The two party system has corrupted American politics.
The answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders. Neither party is prepared to embrace all of these ideals.
