Are you married?                    YES

For those who are married:

1. How old were you when you got married?    22
2. Is it your first marriage?     YES
3. How long have you been married?    50 yrs in May 2013

Yes. All political grouping must forswear cronyism.  Is that going to happen? No. Not as long as there is a K street in Washington, DC. Not as long as elected representatives put themselves up as providers of largess to their electorates. Not as long as voters can be bought.

And the ethics & morality of our society has collapsed to the point where this happens.

I'd have to agree with this. 

Also are we talking equality/inequality of opportunity or income? This needs to be defined a little better.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

And they have so discovered.

Don't like the early Florida numbers.

Romney is up by 2% in Vigo county, Indiana, home of Terre Haute. The county has picked every president since Eisenhower.
