Your mayor, town chairman, school board members, alderman, county officials, etc, can take more money out of your pocket than the feds.
It all matters and the little guys can cost you as much as the big guys.
I say vote.

Do any of you remeber high school? It has been a very long time for me but I can use the anaolgy.
were you a geek?
a Jock?
a social climber?
or someone who transfered into a new school from another city?
remeber how difficult it was to associate your self with a differnt group?
The same applies in politics and the two party system.
If you actaully think an idependant can accomplish any goals look at Jimmy Carter. He was an outsider, how difficult was it for him? Id say he made a much better ex-President than a President. This shows me that he a man to be admired but did not play the game, and while he could not work with his peers, alone he shines like a star.
So what does that tell you about politics?
The same good ole boys club in action, time and time again.
I would never tell people NOT to vote, I just gave up because I could not find a candidate.
Is the governor of a State a hero when he lures a company into his state by promissing incentives to the owners thus creating new jobs while others are losing the same jobs?
