No. It will not allow for the rising of the inflation tax and then the rising of the real tax which lowers the inflation but keeps on taxing.
Besides that, anyone with really good ideas that will help the people, are not welcome in Washington. Our government is just a major banking concern and we are their interest. That does not mean that they are interested in changing anything.

No ;the truth is that the major parties in an effort to expand their base of support incorporate the best ideas of 3rd parties anyway.

Like giving Goldman Sachs trillions of tax payers dollars while letting them have the keys to the United States treasury? Do you hate the middle class of America too?

Beyond absolutely untrue. More like a dirty lie contrived from the devils mouth in the pits of hell. But I smile when I say that. :)

From WIKI
Although third parties rarely win national elections, they can have an effect on them. Third parties can draw attention to issues that may be ignored by the majority parties. If the issue finds resonance with the voters, one or more of the major parties may adopt the issue into its own party platform
Or this from 'This Nation.com ' answering the question about 3rd parties in the United States :
When third parties have emerged in American political history, their successes have been short-lived. In most cases, the issues or ideas championed by third parties have been "stolen" by the candidates of one of the two major parties. Sometimes the issue position taken by the third party is even incorporated into the platform of one of the existing parties. By doing so, the existing party generally wins the support of the voters that had been the support base of the third party. With no unique issues to stand on and depleted voter support, third parties generally fade away.
ThisNation.com--What is the history of "third parties" in the United States?
The answer to the question posted is that in the American system 3rd parties do not last long for the reason I stated .
