1) 58% percent of Americans believe we need another major political party.
2) Parties, according to one man, have two tendencies. One is to be integrated or assimilated into a major party, and the other is for it to break down.
3) One man said that the role of third parties is to "sting like a bee and die."
4) Healthcare for an individual person in the United States costs double the amount than in other countries, but no better outcome.
5) Same goes for education, but more funding needs to go to that area - America's scores are not near the top.
6) America needs to recruit
"higher-quality" teachers (from the top one third of their class, not middle or bottom) for more schools, especially poor schools. < opinion
7) Serious about jobs? >> Big public work programs, phase out and eliminate payroll taxes and corporate income taxes
8) In Brazil, both the "people on the left" and the wealthy people both agree that they have to move people from poverty to the middle class, to preserve democracy.
9) In Brazil there is a strong Democratic movement; the coporations were told to "clean up their act," to force people to deal with poverty, etc
10) Must radically limit what we expect from politics since we are set up for disappointment - we expect too much from our government.
