This statement puzzles me?

You're 100% right. Special interest groups do ruin this country.

In a Democracy what else does one have but special interests groups? If not for their policial pressures who would determine what goes on? Just who should determine our lifestyles and laws.....A dictator or monarch? A Religious state? Shouldn't the governed have some say in how they wish to be governed?
As to regressive taxes, I think it makes more sense for all to pay the same rates. After all the government provides us all with the same services does it not? Thats what taxes are for. Why should there be different % rates? The millionaire pays more at the same rate than the pauper does anyway? The hero of some on this site keep telling us how cool Obama is because he want to make the richest 5% pay for all the services we get and those with little or no income to get free checks from the government so that the wealth will be equalized.
What in the heck will that do to initiative?
