Much like your writing.

And the government's job is to establish Justice, insure domestic 
Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general 
Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our 
Posterity. That to secure these rights, Governments are 
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the 
governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of 
these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and 
to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles 
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most 
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." So it says, right here in 
the rule book.

I'd say those boys have been lying down on the job for at least 32 years.

Americans generally agree that lobbyists, major corporations, and banks 
have too much power, potentially making them vulnerable to calls for 
greater regulation.
