The reason the
economy is a mess is that you have refused to maintain your
ideals with respect to everything else.
Your job as citizen
is the same as that of every elected politician:
to defend, protect and preserve the Constitution of the United
States against all its enemies foreign and domestic.
The unwillingness of Americans
(including you) to do that has allowed ignorant and/or
dishonorable people to be elected to office and remain
there. Those dishonorable people were able to sell
you out because you refused to fire them, and hire more
honorable people, when you found out that those in power
were frauds. Except you don't pay attention and so you
didn't find that out.
It's true that the mainstream
media has also betrayed you, but you have other means of
becoming informed.
"You
cannot be a traitor to life, and then expect to live in a free
and just society."
As long as you continue to vote
for people who have a record of not defending the Constitution
when necessary, you will never get your country back.
And unfortunately, all across this land, at every level of
government, you have elected officials who now have a
record of not defending the Constitution when necessary.
If you keep voting for them you will never live in a free and
just society. That's just how it is.
It's not complicated.
You will never improve this
society if you refuse to accept your responsibilities of
citizenship. That means you have to be willing to
learn something new because right now it doesn't look like you
understand what I'm talking about. You have to
clear your mind and start paying attention to the voices of
reason available to you. You know something's wrong so
that's a good start.
There is nothing really wrong
with our political system as it is described in our
Constitution. That doesn't mean that the
Constitution can't be improved. But that's not the
main problem. The Constitution does not require
that we have a two party system or that our economy has to be
a dysfunctional form of capitalism. What is the
problem is that the people who live under that system refuse
and/or don't know how to live up to the ideals the system was
intended to expand, nurture, and encourage... and what
that system requires if you expect it to operate
properly.
You can complain about the the
system all you want, but if YOU won't change, you're
wasting your time and mine too. Read the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, open your minds, identify
your priorities, and get to work. For example,
here's What I
Want.
Now I understand that you might
not like me or the way I express myself, but that doesn't
make what I am telling you untrue. Nobody is going to
come along that is good enough to live up to your
expectations.
