We have to change our seats of power in order to sustain a free, and just America. What freedoms we do have must be used in order to protect ourselves from losing all of them. by Frank Brooks

Why is it that the United States government is doing what they want when they feel like it? I thought the American people made the final decisions on everything the government is responsible for. Our congress is supposed to represent us but it doesn't seem like they are voting in our favor. They let someone make a grand speech, and decide for themselves on singular opinion. It is ridiculous how we are letting this go on, and yet nothing ever changes.
When the bill for socialized healthcare came into play I could bet at least 75% of the nation was against the final ruling. When it was shot down the first time that should have been the end of it? Nope not a chance lets tweak it a bit, and keep pushing it until it gets passed. Screw the American people who are they to tell us what we will sign into law. That is exactly the mentality I believe our government is operating under. Nobody has any power in this nation anymore to dismiss faulty ruling even if the entire republic is against it. We have no choice in any matter, and this is where we need to say hey it's time for them to stop.
If I had to put it in perspective I would say our government has too much power over the people. You can speculate for yourselves, and see that everything that is happening in Washington D.C. is bad news. They are doing as they please, and trying to comfort us with elaborate speeches. I am tired of the talking, and I want to see responsive work ethics being done that cater the American people. Why is the government getting an upper hand in anything continuing to choose what is best for their motives, and not ours?
This last election for president had one main initiative in mind, and the criteria of the matter had been promised by all the candidates. Americans were looking for jobs, and employment. Hardly anything has been done to meet those needs. Bailouts didn't appease anybody, and all we could see is how corrupt things really have become. Why did all those banks pay substantially large bonuses to the higher ups when the money was supposed to go to the vaults? Those people should have been prosecuted for mishandling that money. What happens to an average American that gets caught cheating their taxes? Well we all know they will pay the price. A loophole in the system shouldn't allow them any leeway. To be truthful the powers responsible for letting that happen the way it did are just as guilty.
Our government is becoming self managed. They are a corporation of their own that decides what goes, and what does not. The American people are the employees, and apparently we as a nation are either going to get fired or we are laid off for the time being. The more we buy into socialistic values the more freedom we will be losing. Our democracy is edging its way to a permanent totem pole stance. Our president along with his bureaucratic investors, are on the top and the American people are on the bottom. How long are we going to let this carry on, and why do we see countless amounts of tax dollars being spent elsewhere instead of back into our hands. I mean that is our money! Think about it.
Recently we have all witnessed a natural disaster in Pakistan, and as expected we put forth the money to help. Nine Hundred Million in estimated relief funds is what we are giving away. If we have that kind of money to donate why isn't the government using similar amounted funds to put towards labor relief projects. If they started up work contracts all over the nation then they would see return in taxes, and substantial increase in economic growth. Oh but that doesn't matter, and that is not what our tax money is intended for. That is because our government is on such a high horse right now they want to keep everybody at a level they can control. They don't want America to strive because it threatens a handful of people's power in this nation. Our freedoms are being jeopardized by how much we let them get away with, and we are letting them run hog wild with responsibility. They are abusing that power, and taking advantage of what we stand for.
As an American I am tired of it, and I want to see a complete reformation of our entire democratic society. We have let too many reckless politicians get behind the wheel of our government and drive us down a road of failure. Take one moment and think just for a second if our leaders are doing their jobs we put them there to do. Most average Americans that have a brain will tell you they are way off the tracks. They are being selfish, and overpowering making all the calls. Not one of us seems to have any importance challenging a democracy that has been over taken.
I cannot be fully judgmental, and say that all of our government leaders are not trying their best to change the way things are for the better. Many are giving it a hard fight to straighten things out to preserve our liberties, and freedoms. There is a problem though we have far less politicians now than we used to that care for the American way of life. Money in their pocket buys a closed mouth and a vote in favor for whatever is needed to be done. This worries me, and many others. If this goes on for too long we could have another Civil War or Martial Law might be implemented to prevent that. You never know what could happen if bad government is operating under a new code of ethics. Americans could be in the dark about it for decades before absolute power is demonstrated in full effect. I know many would say I am only speaking on behalf of conspiracy, and just to clear that up I am not trying to make any unclear suggestions. All I am trying to say is that we cannot allow bad government to continue to operate the way it has. It is crippling this nation, and we have a big mess to clean up because of it.
