It all boils down to revenue!
Our 'elected' officials are looking for ways to keep their hands in our pockets.
When the people of our great 'Democracies' realize that we have the power to 'elect' as a given, the next step is to have the power to 'select' who we want to 'elect'.
Party politics and the powers that be have been selling that idea forever. And it is used to placate the masses.
We have the right to vote, but we don't have the right to vote for the candidate that reflects our true feelings. Their names will never show up on our ballots! We the People are numbers, We the People are pawns in the game of power politics.
If you want to make a change, and you are commited to it, there is only one way to acheive it.
NEVER vote for an incumbent!
You have to think about why people get into politics. They may have a vision, they may have the answer that we have been seeking, but...unfortun ately, they are only in it for themselves.
There is no greater country than the U.S.A.
And I'm Proud to be a Citizen, and a Viet Nam Vet!
But if you want to make a change...heed these words!
NEVER vote for an incumbent!
The fear of not being re-elected is right up there with being rejected.
Make your representative s work for you!
This is the end of my rant.
