Dems are friends of trial lawyers. I will agree that litigation is a bit out of hand in the US. I will also state that more protections are in place because of fear of a lawsuit than fear of a government fine. A corrupt company could save millions with illegal dumping and have to only pay fines in the tens or hundreds of thousands. It's the tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits over the effects of contaminated water, air, and soil that keep them honest. Bureaucrats don't get paid extra for taking on corporate lawyers and can be influenced by political pressure. Trial lawyers only get paid if they win, cannot be directly influenced by politics, and have their own lobbyists to provide cover.

I understand completely that it would turn into the same thing we have now but the new party would be better for other reasons than politics. |

Nope. The inverted pent symbology has been ruined by its association with Satanism, and more accurately, with Baphomet, the goat-headed god. An inverted pent used to simply mean that one was a first-level initiate to witchcraft. When you finished your first degree, you turned it over. When I was a Cub Scout, the first pin they give you is pinned on upside down, and you don't get to turn it over until you do your first good deed. Ergo, Cub Scouting = Satanism. Logic is fun, huh?

You'll have to buy a ton of GS cookies to make amends.
