Should we start a new political party?

I was just reading the question and responses about gas prices and decided I'd mention something that has really been eating at me during the recent Presidential hooplah. To me it seems that the Republicans are for big business and the Democrats are for the handout programs and the poor and nobody represents the majority of us who are hard-working people trying to make a decent living/life for our families. Some of the other parties that already exist are either too radical/aggressive or too limited in their platform. Why can't we have a party that gets farmers a decent wage for what they produce, cuts down on a lot of the giveaway programs unless you work to get your handout, and quits giving tax breaks to the Corporations and rich. Why can't car manufacturers and other hard goods producers be forced to lower their prices so every family could afford a new car and other necessary items without having to have husband and wife have to work. Not being home to raise the children is producing unhappy kids at best and violent criminals at worst. We are killing ourselves, not living happy lives, raising frustrated and rebellious children and sitting at home grousing about our plight. We need to mobilize the common man/woman, and the internet is a great tool to do it, and start a new party to run the government FOR THE PEOPLE like it was originally designed. We have the great strength of numbers if we can only get organized enough to pull it together. I for one would be willing to help do it but I haven't a clue how to go about it. We need to cut down on so much government interference and let citizens live their lives with some freedom. Guess I am just doing some grousing of my own because I just feel so powerless yet I know we could do it if we could just figure out how. I think about the boycotts in the old days which would change a company's business practices because our numbers forced them to listen. But it needs to go further and create a political party so all of the issues could be put out on a platform and Congress would have to take the regular guy/gal seriously instead of ignoring us. I obviously can't go into everything that is buzzing around in my head about this but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
