Why We Have So Many American Problems: and What We Can Do About Them James C. Barnes

After a life time of seeing this Country we love, developing problem, after problem, and not fixing any of them, some one had to speak out. Just stop and think about any problem that comes to mind, gas prices, health care, lost jobs, or a hundred others you could come up with. What caused them? It wasn?t the people, or a terrorist, business, or an enemy, it was the Governments actions, or inactions. Our government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is supposed to be a representative democracy. Represent is the word lost, the people we send to Washington think representing us, is them doing as they please. From our President, to our Senators and representatives, they tell us what is good for us, and dictate what we must endure. Our political party system, has become like two Mafia gangs, trying to take the other out to run the show. No matter which is in power, the crimes are the same. We are to blame because we let these people who are our hired help, forget this fact, and think they are like exalted rulers. They have used politics to divide us, gave us divided Government, and divided and conquered us. A divided people can not stand, can we ever be one people, one nation under God, one for all, and all for one, as some men dreamed.
