"I agree with most of what you say, but our forefathers did not design the government we have today. Theirs was completely different. It was done with the "people" in mind, not the government. Today with big businesses and the greed of most politicians, the government is nothing like our forefathers had hoped. (MY opinion!)"Dad, Dad, Dad. You are awesome.
I think you are mostly right. The government we have is still the government designed more than 200 years ago by a group of land owning, weed smoking, slave banging aristocrats.
What they didn't plan on, account for or foresee was the power of lobbyists and special interest groups swaying the lawmakers.
We can all agree ethics in government may as well be the name of a college drinking game. Federal politicians don't necessarily worry about doing the right thing, but doing the thing right now, especially if it means some pork or campaign money.
"Big business," as it were, accounts for the degeneration of the people as a voice. Lawmakers have managed to squirm their way into interstate commerce and the business of individual states, taking away the power of states to exist on a relatively autonomous level.
Perhaps Betsy Ross should have used three shades of green for our country's flag. Could we be proud of the Green, Hunter Green and Mint Green?
