We have a system that while not perfect allows voters to make changes and have a peaceful transition of power.  I'm afraid that we do have people in charge who see the era of American prosperity waning and they're determined to grab as much for themselves as they can while they can.  And that's going to take us down roads we don't want to go.</blockquote>
