Are you a domestic terrorist?

I'm pessimistic because I see no good choices, and we send clowns like Al Franken to Washington thinking he "gets it".

This is the same Al Franken you described not a week ago as a "bright person"? Say what you will about Sen. Franken, he's more on the ball ("gets it") than the vast majority of people in either house. The man is a lifelong policy wonk.

I am also curious as to how people are supposed to live without paycheques. Is there really an alternative form of security for most people? It's nice to have savings to live on, but a country is not going to live on them for more than a couple of years. Most people, in the long run, need their paycheques, always have, always will. You work for your supper. What other choice is there, unless manna rains from the heavens?
