There are governments I do like, it is possible to govern well. I just think it's facile to work under the assumption that the answer is simple. That one simple change will take the US from point A to B. The US has radically changed from the 1950s and the idea that one simple change of a 92% top marginal tax rate will make it economically the 1950s again is completely preposterous.



That was not at all my point (and yes, it would be preposterous if it was).

My point was that large numbers of people agreeing on things may not be as difficult as you seem to think.
