pen, this really is'nt a political issue...most of the regulations that were put into place after the great depression were abolished during clinton's reign with a republican congress...so go figure! both the dems and the republicans screwed us on this one....

i really believe they work together, taking turns on who's gonna bend us over.. look at NAFTA...every one of them voted for it...i think there was one independant that obstained..

maybe the real answer is'nt to fight "the man".....it's to try and predict how the man is gonna stick it to us and then invest accordingly...i have yet to meet a politician who has my interest in mind...if there was one, every city would have a wet t shirt contest and free beer night :)
