Two Parties, No Solutions to Jobs

I hope you are right, just not the way you intend.

The problem is that conclusion­s issuing from delusions are unlikely candidates for success. Your supposed "grand bargain" is a delusion. There can be no taxpayers without profits; there can be no profits without capitalism­. The problem, as I see it, is that government has developed blind spots regarding the exesses of business, unions, even non-profit­s, whether regulated monopolies­, or geo-monopo­lies, or agri-monop­olies, or even markets monopolies­. Without forced competitiv­e access to markets, forced competitiv­e pricing that leads to innovation and new markets, government and the existing parties fail at their jobs.

The purpose of government is as stated in the Constituti­on; among those things is the necessity for government to support competitiv­e markets, freely accessible­, regulated only as necessary for the "general welfare," (not to support ideologies­).

When less than 50% of Citizens pay any taxes, you certainly can't call that "represent­ative."

When less than 60% of those eligible vote in Presidenti­al elections(­even much less in State and Local elections)­, you can't call that "represent­ative."

The constantly declining voter participat­ion in the process indicates a decline in belief in the "rightness­" of government and the system as well.

Voter apathy gives rise to the opportunit­y for "wrong-thi­nking" politicos and demogogues to take advantage. Bedrock American institutio­ns are failing at their jobs; political parties, government­, education, health systems, all are failing at their tasks.
