One party/political group would be disastrous as well. No other voices will be able to be heard, and would be more of an oligarchy by that group to take complete control of the government. Tyranny by the masses. Likewise, a two party system is also disastrous. It does not place a check on the other party. It creates a conflict that divides the nation's beliefs which leads to a whole set of domestic issues. A representative should represent the people, not the party.

While this is all true, it's highly unlikely America would change to any other system. The people are more inclined to sit and whine about it than actually do anything here.  

On a scale of 1 to the government how shut down do you feel?

I heard if the Government doesn't open by the 17th, we will make history by not paying our taxes.

The world would have a lot of issues if America can't pay their bills.

0 fks. everyone is making a big deal out of it but really it doesn't matter. This happened before and we came out alright. I say just let the fat idiots run our country like they always have and appreciate what we got.

Not a big deal? Well if USA defaults on its debts then the whole world will be plunged into an economic depression.

Wow, you're insanely uneducated. Most of the people who aren't getting paid are those who are considered "non-essential." Just because you're on government pay doesn't mean you're well-off. My grandmother used to work for NASA... you know what she did? She worked at the NASA cafeteria. She didn't get paid much. If she were still working right now she wouldn't be getting paid.

Then again I feel this will be going right over your head, so why bother? I'm not effected by this shutdown either, but I'm not going to pretend like it's not a big deal just because it's not effecting me.
