This country was founded by our forefathers who set the government to be a republic with limited powers to protect the rights of the people and to uphold the law which is the Constitution. We are so far from that ideal that it ridiculous. We are allowing this once great nation (well its still great for the most part) to be ruled by the few (minority voices). This is not a democracy, I do not think the forefathers ever meant it to become like this. A democracy is the rule of the people, but with that in mind. If you have a thief and a town catches them and they vote to kill him then they kill him, democracy wins. Iin a Republic if they catch the person and vote to kill them, and they do, they would violate the law because the law says that everyone deserves a fair trial.
This nanny state is upsetting me because instead of protecting the general public they exploit it for their own gains. We are so close to oligarchy, small group rule, that its not funny because its happening right in front of our nose under the cloak of __(fill in the blank)__ Act, all these Federal regulations that create loop holes upon loop holes that just manifest a massive amount of money being wasted in the name of protection or safety which hardly ever reduces the risk or danger.
Then there's failing programs that aim to educated children by keeping them in school, great idea but terrible when run by government. AND WE VOTE THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR INTEREST IN MIND, IN TIME AND TIME AGAIN! We need to elect 545 new people into congress that will follow the guidelines that our forefathers set up. There is nothing wrong with the constitution, it is the idiots interrupting it in Washington.
Every time I write against what the media controlled populous tells us is the truth, I get my ear talked off on how I'm insensitive to people in need especially when I start ranting and raving about how I am also against the welfare system, I think it just breeds laziness, but I will not talk about that now because then this post will be way longer..lol.
Anyways back on track, I hate people telling me that these social programs that this government is creating is the best thing in the world saying it is helping us all be equal, closing the gap between the rich and the poor, comparing us to other countries like (recently Canada, UK, Australia, etc in regards to Healthcare (don't get me started on that one, that's for another time). I'm going to say this right now, this is the United States of America, not whatever country you are comparing us to. If the other countries are so much better move there or shut up!
Ok now that, that's out, we are not equal, yes we were created equal and I do believe in the Constitution but we really are not truly equal if you think about it. I do not speak of sex, race, etc., that is not the issue I am trying to convey. The issue is a different type of equality. If we were equal then there would be no creativity, ambition to do better, etc. Look what happens in countries with Socialism or Communism, there is no incentive to be creative or competitive, free market, Capitalism, etc. is really the only form of government that allows for innovative thinking. Capitalism is not about equality; if you put effort in, most likely you will get a return but if you don't put any effort in don't expect something in return (that's much different than the mind set now isn't it?). Our nation has rewarded people that scream entitlement, NO! you aren't entitled to anything, unless you earned it. My parents came to America with nothing, worked hard, made a living, started a family, saved, were responsible, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT EARNED IT. They could have easily been lazy like we are today, give me, give me. NO! that is our problem; fix that mentality and it will make a huge dent into our nation's problems.
The great thing about this country is (or was) that if you have a dream or idea go for it, if it works and makes you money and you get rich off of it, good for you BUT if it fails, don't go crying to big brother and cry for regulation or laws to help you and punish the cruel, greedy person who took the same risk as you but succeeded, that is not greed, & being wealthy is not mean you are greedy! That is why its called risk, nothing is free in life but our government sure thinks differently and convincing more and more people to believe the same. My question is, who is paying for all this free stuff, WE THE TAXPAYERS!, so in the end we all pay so that the lazy people in society can live more comfortably and be equal to those that work hard and earn their living. Does that make sense?
Hope you enjoyed this. If you want more, let me know, I seem to be good at writing a descent size reaction to current politics...lol
Good night, because its already 1 am...lol
