On your third point...I hope that we do indeed get rid of SOME of the environmental regulations. I think they were needed...and then (like everything) went too far.

The devil is in the details. We should get rid of some and add others. That doesn't matter a lick until we have people in congress and the whitehouse whose goal is to add the right ones and remove the right ones. The first step to getting that is to yank the money out of the election system.
Citizens United is the most important political event in the entire history of our country (that is not hyperbole). It will in fact end our democracy within 100 years. It allows corporations or wealthy individuals to give an unlimited amount of money AND not disclose who they gave it to. When Goldman Sachs gives 1Billion to each candidate in the presidential election and neither Goldman nor the candidates have to tell anyone it happened... who do you think the president will be listening to... regardless of which 'party' wins.
Everything else is a distraction for the sheep
