Our leaders show contempt for the law and the constitution by their actions. In Obama’s case he has even said that he thinks it needs to be replaced with a new bill of rights. He shows contempt for it at every time. He talks about social justice but clearly does not believe in equal justice. None of our leaders believe in equal justice. They do not believe the laws should apply to them and worse they feel that they can determine if a law applies to one individual or another or even one group or another. They constantly exercise favoritism. They are a monopoly in the worst sense of the word. They get to decide who succeeds and who does not; who will get money and who will not, and you don’t even have a choice about buying their product.
You do not even have a right to know what products they’re proposing and you certainly don’t have the right to not buy it. Everyone is expected to pay for any product the government proposes and if you don’t you’ll be thrown in jail. At least with capitalist monopolies the worst that will happen is that you’ll go without.
The one power we do have is to get rid of the executives. Unfortunately the American people have for the most part abdicated this right. They blindly continue to vote the same representatives in over and over. The funny thing is that they do this because they think these people are being money into their district and so doing something for them. What they keep forgetting is where that money came from. It comes from us! Now some people may be more than happy to take money from another state and get to use it in their state, but this again only shows our moral and ethical bankruptcy.
These people are doing nothing but taking our money from us and then giving some of it back to us in the form they think is best. What people forget to ask themselves is what they would do with that money if they were simply allowed to keep it in the first place? Why filter that money through the middle man of the government and lie to ourselves, or be lied to by our representatives that they are giving us something.
Again consider the case of a monopoly. The business forces you give them money and then tells you they’re going to give you a toilet, and you like an idiot behave as though they GAVE you something because they force you to pay them money every week whether you are personally benefiting from that money you’ve been forced to give them. If you do decide to get that money back you can only get the product they provide. Wouldn’t you do better off if you didn’t need to pay them at all and then could actually buy the product and quality you needed?
It is not even like the government actually produces anything. All they do is take and redistribute and maybe this is the reason that Obama says he is for redistribution of wealth. He at least understands that this is all that government does and he believes this was the sole reason we have government. Further he views this as the great good of the government because in his mind everyone should have the same amount, except of course for him. If he really believed it was right to take from the rich and that it was indeed their obligation to give all the extra they had to those who didn’t have as much, then why would he wait till it is forced on him. I say let him lead by example but that is not about to happen.
It is amazing to me how many people are more than willing to vote themselves more goodies from the government but they never seem to get that all that means is that they're asking the government to take more money out of their pockets to do it and thereby they don't have as much to spend on things for themselves.
I for one do not want to be dependent on the government for anything they have to offer. They have proven over and over that they are very good at wasting money, but then what do they care, it's not their money. In many cases our representatives either don't pay taxes or are way behind on them, and again we see that though that works for them it would neever work for the rest of us. Yet another example of one set of laws for one group of people and another set for the rest of us.
Even executives of the largest companies are not immune from the rules of conduct of the business. Yet our leaders in congress and the rest of our representatives seem to be immune. Some kind of protest against this really needs to be raised.
