What’s Wrong With Government Is You
by Tom Remington | March 1, 2010
As long as we have people writing stuff like this:
The problem is not the system. It’s us—our “got mine” culture of entitlement. Politicians, never known for their bravery, precisely represent the people. Our leaders are paralyzed by the very thought of asking their constituents to make short-term sacrifices for long-term rewards. They cannot bring themselves to raise taxes on the middle class or cut Social Security and medical benefits for the elderly. They’d get clobbered at the polls. So any day of reckoning gets put off, and put off again, and the debts pile up.
it furthers the threat that some day, perhaps not that far into the future, a revolution will begin. At present we have a government that actually believes that “we the people” are the problem. That we the people are stupid, not capable of making the right decisions and that we need to just shut up and pay our taxes, give up our freedoms and our investments.
We the people claim our share of the blame for electing such idiots in the first place but now that it’s time for reckoning, these people are saying it’s ALL our fault. Sorry! That’s not right. We are where we are because Congress is a bunch of crooks, a bunch of power hungry fools, the very fools we were warned about centuries ago that once they figured out they could give themselves raises, they didn’t care any longer.
We the people will only be pushed so far and we are rapidly coming to a point of being pushed too far. We will fight back at the polls in November but if that doesn’t work, there will be hell to pay. Just watch.
