I am tired of hearing about how we out here played by the rules.

I want to start hearing more about how the takers broke the rules from more than just a handful of legislators. There should be massive education of the public rather than an assumption that everyone understands the economic tsunami that hit them. There are many who didn't see it coming let alone what slammed them into the proverbial brick wall. This is what I will be listening for in elections ahead. If a candidate is unable or unwilling to address economic issues and articulate solutions requiring the 1% to participate, he/she will not be on my short list.
