You can't get rid of US vs. THEM until someone wins.

Right now, the city administration [[not US btw) sees itself as losing. It implores others to see their marginalization as a collective loss. Its not. In fact, its a collective success. Just not for those currently in power.

Government unfortunately, sees itself as a separate entity from voters. That's why the tea party wants to minimize government. Because its not just voter rolls, property records, police and fire -- but its a giant machine that consumes money, doles it out to its friends, and grows and grows. [[Pardon rant.)
