Capitalize the people that will change the economy, not the ones who abused it. I pay my taxes but I can not vote but I never followed an election so closely, do the candidates really comprehend what kind of mess they are inheriting?

This will give all parties time to craft legislation that might have a chance to succeed and will remove the motivation to try to put lipstick on the pig before the election.
