We don`t need a dictator what we need is to take the profits out of politics.
Elected representatives should be paid minimum wage and a reasonable stipend for business expenses for when they are in session and working for the people.
No more paid lobbyist and professional politicians with golden parachutes.Take the profit out of politics and then we will see people running for office who are doing it because they actually care about the people and the country and aren`t just in it for the money.
We have too many lawyers and millionaires in politics, they are completely out of touch with how real people live.They can`t possibly know what is best for us because they aren`t one of us.
of the people, by the people and for the people,These professional politicians aren`t the people,we are the people.

Did you have to use the word "dictator"? We don't need a dictator... we need a King.

I didn't say it was likely, or even probable.
Hey, allegedly George Washington managed it.
But it is the only solution to this mess.
Do you have a better idea?

I think we need a dictatorship too.
A dictatorship by the masses of working class people, over those rich elite who try to exploit, oppress and enslave us.
Turn things upside-down.

I don't think this is even possible. I don't believe for a second that it will ever happen either.

I know this is going to sound bad, but... People are stupid. They don't know what's good for them.
I would nominate myself of course, because I know better I am pretty much right down the center.
