Why do most Americans accept our government having so much control, when they work for us not vice versa?

Question

I mean we are a country built out of a want for freedom. Government was never supposed to have so much complete power. We are throwing our liberties away bit by bit instead of questioning our government and demanding change, when we must all admit that change is needed. Look how money driven and greedy society is. Look how celebrity obsessed we are. No one is truly able to actually live life unless they are part of the wealthy. Our land is being destroyed building by building. It's ridiculous. Instead of our government fearing us we are fearing our government, which isn't supposed to happen. Americans used to have the fervor to fight for truth, justice and liberty. Now we seem to idley sit back and remain stagnant. When did Americans become so caught up in mediocrity and give in to the deceit and greed of those we have placed in power, those whom we pay to run our country? Society is lost and until the rest wake up, Americans will be paying the price.

Answer 1

I completely relate. I'm a Republican because the Republican party WAS the party of small government. We now have two parties that are both for big government and third parties have almost no chance of winning. I think there are many Americans who feel as we do, and I hope that our voices will be heard. We have the power to vote them out, and I hope we exercise that power.

Answer 2

i'm already mad, frustraited and experience lost as to what to do to make a distinction. balloting received't help, that's rigged. Accounting for our money.....that's a enormous comic tale. I filed my taxes for the three hundred and sixty 5 days earlier to the 'warfare'. I were given my go back and stuck it in the monetary employer, vehicle broke down, spent maximum of it, then 6 months later i'm getting a letter from the IRS affirming that I even could pay back the refund plus the activity it collected in the 6 months that I had NO theory that they wanted MY a reimbursement. (suggestions you I stay at poverty aspect, pay verify to paycheck) i understand they did it to make money off the people to fund the warfare. A$$HOLES!!!!! i'm wondering myself what it would take to wake people up, we opt to act jointly and the quicker the more desirable suitable, the bigger the more desirable suitable. certain, a march on DC armed to the tooth, boy would not that be impressive, yet with the Patriot Act in position, we would all be placed into the domstic concentration camps that were outfitted for us. US, certain us, no longer them.....I say we placed them into those centers so as that some thing people can bypass on residing. I too opt to interrupt stuff. what is going to quite make issues ensue is the people who're indignant and characteristic money opt to employ a p.c..

Answer 3

The repuglicans have seized the power, even down to falsifying elections just to get the power, only way to get it back is we the people to vote and watch carefully the votes. We need watchdogs at every precinct in the country. It is time for a fair election, it is time to change the makeup in D.C. to bring the people back in power.

Your just scrtaching the surface the smoke and mirrors our goc uses is designed to keep us from seeing the truth like this
Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:

The Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person.

In 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments.

Alaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production.

Democracy, Kuwait Style

It’s not that the woman question was the only issue faced by voters. From the owner and editor in chief of Kuwait’s largest newspaper, to the chief executive officer of Kuwait Petroleum Company, to the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, our interlocutors argued that the Kuwaiti economy is stagnating and that the remedy is privatization. This is a difficult proposition, however, in a country where 90 to 95 percent of the labor force is employed by the government, which generally pays more than the private sector. And designing institutions to create the right incentives will be difficult in a country whose oil wealth supports a massive welfare state with no taxes that generously funds its citizens’ health, education, and housing needs.

Pollution free electric power has been all over DC. Clinton, Gore, Newt, Sam Nun, DOE, and many other you wouldn’t know.

Clinton “was too busy moving the country forward”
Gore said “I wish you good luck, I’m glad to see other’s are working on our energy problem”
Newt “promised his full support” To sell to Ga. Power for a .01c on the dollar to invent and patent this tech
I have letters from these crumbs saying this!
Sam was to busy with Armed Services he just brushed me off real fast!
Mason Wiggins of the Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee said “ this appears to be the secret we’ve been looking for” he took it to friends in the DOE. DOE management found it had come in the back door and threw 100% clean electric power 1000 times more electric power than the largest Nuclear plant.

If Alaska pays
Kuwait pays even it’s indirectly after the gulf war losses
Dubai pays

Why can’t your state pay you? With all the resources of the feds why can’t the feds pay 50 times what Alaska pays?

The dems and reps have all the power shouldn’t they have the responsibility for their mismanagement?

VOTE! Vote for anyone as long as they’re not a dem or rep!

If our founding father were alive today. They would lay siege to DC tar and feather ALL the officials and hang them on the steps for all to see the consequences of screwing Americans!!

There must be security for all, or none are secure!
This requires losing no freedoms, only to act responsibly!

Answer 5

I'm sorry was there a question in there, or are you just letting off steam on how you feel right now about America.

Answer 6

I don't accept them. They look like America's new Mafia to me.
The only thing we can do is to keep asking the Awesome
questions, like yours. Someones bound to get it - or should I
say, get sick of it! (the gov.)
