Our population seems so engrossed with fighting each other that we are not keeping our eye on the true scoundrel which is our Government that is undermining each and every one of us for their own benefit. This is not a rich versus poor, republican versus democrat, conservative versus liberal, old versus young, business versus individuals, or black versus white. It is about our Government officials caring so much more about retaining their offices and all the power involved that they are willing to sell us down the river to preserve their status. Does anyone really think they have any interest in really solving America’s issues and not just appearing to do so while continuing to make us more dependent on them? Subjecting us to dependence is an effective way of building and retaining power because how else would we ever be able to take care of ourselves if not for our benevolent Government? Why would they not keep taking more of our money in taxes to continue perpetuating this dissipation of our individualism and freedom as long as they continue to benefit with strengthening their stately power? They could care less about any future reckoning from this unsustainable behavior because they will either be long retired or dearly departed by that point, plus “certain” power today is more desirable than any distress of “possible” disaster at some point in the future. There simply is no motivation for them to upset the applecart because it is the eternal spring that supplies the spoils of the nation upon them, and the people can suffer the consequences since they were not the “chosen” ones. Besides, if the nation is suffering, it gives them yet another opportunity to pretend they care enough to fix it for us so they gain even more influence.

America had better awaken to this picture for what it truly is and realize that we are being subordinated in importance to our politician’s self-centeredness. We are a distant thought in their minds, nothing more than an electorate to be manipulated in order to attain and retain political office. Once attained, it is all about them from that point on. This will continue until the day Americans quit bickering among ourselves over our differences and turn our full attention on them to start demanding solutions and accountability. Politicians like nothing more than the voters to be at odds with one another because a divided people is a conquered people, and it gives them openings to begin pointing fingers and propagating blame thus keeping the focus off of their own incompetence and exploitations. If we can not find enough common ground as Americans to come together and focus our energies on the insanity that is our Government, then we had better be prepared for the outcome of that inaction. Our Government has become a cancer that is eating this nation from the inside, and at some point it will severely weaken and overwhelm us. Regardless of how people may classify themselves in our society, we are all going to suffer from a declining nation as our politicians would rather have power and control over a dying nation than no such power over a prosperous one.
