The USA is divided between left and right because the governing elite called Republicans and Democrats wants to simplify life in America. The Republicans and Democrats with this attempt at simplification has polarized America along ideological lines. George Washington was right when he said in his Farewell Address that «Political Parties should be avoided». There is also no such thing as a middle ground.
The only ground that is worth anything is the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party is the party of the American People, By the American People, and for the American People. The Libertarian Party is a combination of fiscal responsibility, political maturity, with a tolerance for people as they are instead of a one size fits all mentality that belongs to a cancer called Republicans/Democrats.
If America wants to regain its greatness, it should immediately dismantle the welfare state by privatizing the Federal Government, granting autonomy to states, cities, counties, even ethnic and religious groups. A Centralized System has always been doom to failure since it is reliant on one person or one capital.
Another thing that should occur is the return to the Gold and Silver Standard followed by the abolition of the Federal Reserve System. After all, the Federal Reserve System has been manufacturing Money that is Worthless. Of course, since political parties do not pay taxes; they should be privatized, forced to function as a private entity, and pay taxes, or go out of business.
The time has come for a Peaceful Libertarian Revolution with the people of the USA saying «NO» to the Republicans and Democrats and «YES» to America and the Libertarian Party.
