The government does NOT represent us any longer?

Question

At what point do we pull the Guns off the rack? G. Washington, J. Adams, B. Franklin knew when.

They only paid a 3 % tax, and they were willing to die to change it. We pay 50 to 70 % of our pay for taxes. (income tax, employment tax, sales tax, utility tax, etc., etc.)

Before we had these taxes we were the richest country in the world w/ 'Zero' debt. Now China buys most of our debt and owns 'lots' of America.

Yes, it is true, we owed France at the end of the Revolution however we weren't the 13 united states of America at that time. That debt was being paid until France over threw their govt.

When America had Constitutional $, we had virtually 'zero' inflation on wholesale prices. What cost a buck in 1780's cost about a buck in the 1920's. If you look at a 20 $ bill printed in the 1920's , it's a promisary note' that you can go to the treasury at get a $20 gold piece. Take that same promisary note to the Treasury today - and they virtaully say 'F U' and will only give u a worthless $20 bill of today.

So much for the U.S.'s promise to pay.

It makes Zero difference who u vote for (aside Dr. Ron Paul). The dems & reps refuse to do the will of the people. U know it, I know it, they know it.

When I say 'represent us' - I mean they simply represent the U.N. and major corps - not America at all.

Answer 1

What did people expect? The government is whatever we want it to be. Get more involved. It's that simple. Walk in to your local Democrat Party headquarters and volunteer. They'll put you to work where you can actually make a difference, groom you if you have any vision at all and will run you for office so fast your head will spin. But, gosh, playing video games, hanging out at the mall and gorking out on the TV is what most people have chosen to do for so long that they deserve, by forfeit, to lose whatever government by the people, for the people, that people before us have ALREADY taken up guns to give us. Seriously, anyone who thinks going off in the woods and making bullets over a campfire is going to make a difference is really, really really stupid.

Answer 2

Huh!? Sorry, but the Government never did really represent "us"; that's because we are such a diverse group of people here in the good old U.S. of A., that what is in the best interest of one group is adverse to another.
Having said that, the debt began in earnest back in the early 60's. Before that, there was debt, usually due to a war, but afterwards, the debt was paid off. The same Government that decided we need ever increasing populations of people also decided we need bigger and bigger Government and more and more debt.
The reasoning is basically simple: people used to be paid X dollars. Now they are being paid X+1 dollars. People keep forgetting that, although they get more dollars, it cost more dollars to live on. Back in the 60's a person could buy a house for only 3 years income IN CALIFORNIA! Now a hovel costs more than my entire income for my entire life!
The Government has become an entity until itself; it is self-reproducing! (Think of the staff of each and every Senator, each and every Representative; think of the staffs of all the public schools, all those Federal, State and Local Government Agencies. They are staffed by people that are hired, not elected, and thus have no desire to do the people's will.)
Haven't you heard those jokes about the EPA? Especially the one with the cow?
You are correct. Solution? If you don't want China buying the U.S. (don't forget about Japan buying ranches in the west so they can have good beef! Ours is imported from Australia or South America!) QUIT BUYING AT WAL-MART!
As to the Government, don't forget to vote!

Answer 3

We shall soon see! If they pass the “immigration reform” bill which will legalize all of the criminal’s (yes, criminals as they broke the law in jumping the fence!) already here and allow them to bring in their families as well, the borders will be overrun and we will be faced with a population expansion of nearly 100 million new people to be fed, housed, clothed, given medical care, social security benefits etc.
When this new flood happens we might very well have to protect ourselves with lethal force. This is the point Bush has been waiting for to declare a national emergency and assume the powers of an absolute dictator with no checks and balances and no way out! All who try to oppose this power grab will find out what all the FEMA concentration camps are really for. The transportation rail cars with benches and shackles are ready and waiting!
The only way we have a chance of stopping this is to flood congress with calls, letters and emails DEMANDING they don’t pass this truly evil bill! It is total amnesty and includes a real ID provision that is Big Brother in the extreme!

Answer 4

An economics professor at an area college made a assertion that he had by no ability failed a single student in the past yet had as quickly as failed an entire type. That type had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no possible be undesirable and no possible be rich, a super equalizer. The professor then stated, "ok, we could have an test in this type on Obama's plan". All grades could be averaged and all of us could acquire an identical grade so no possible fail and no possible acquire an A. After the 1st attempt, the grades have been averaged and all of us have been given a B. the scholars who studied complicated have been upset and the scholars who studied little have been chuffed. via fact the 2nd attempt rolled around, the scholars who studied little had studied even much less and people who studied complicated desperate they needed a loose journey too so as that they studied little. the 2nd attempt elementary grew to become right into a D! no person grew to become into chuffed. whilst the third attempt rolled around, the elementary grew to become into an F. The rankings by no ability extra effective as bickering, blame and make contact with-calling all ended in complicated thoughts and no possible learn for the ease of every person else. All failed, to their super marvel, and the professor instructed them that socialism could additionally finally fail via fact whilst the reward is super, the attempt to prevail is super yet whilst government takes each and all the reward away, no person will attempt or prefer to prevail. could desire to no longer be any extra straightforward than that. basically idiots that have no ambition or delight desire the government to fully look after them. What are they going to do whilst there is not any one left to pay for their stupidity? working, crying with their palms held out to the government won't help, via fact an identical government that provides them each little thing now could have the two taken each little thing from every person that could desire to help or have run them in another usa. what's going to ensue to the deadbeats then? Oh...yeah..... Slavery is composed of innovations. in case you voted for B.O or did no longer vote in any respect, to procure & will proceed to get what you needed.

Answer 5

Maybe before you pull the guns off the rack you should consider who you have been voting for, or if you have been voting.

The taxes we pay are a result of individuals convincing our government that these taxes are needed and necessary. It is up to those of us who disagree to show that these taxes are unnecessary and that alternative solutions to big brother government are available.

I disagree with the "viva revolucion" attitude. we have a workable system if we would get off our butts and use it. Stop voting for the democrats and republicans. If you vote you do not throw your vote away.

IMHO

Answer 6

The United States has never had a zero debt. From the start, the US was in debt to France.

By the way, the government has never represented the majority of Americans.

Answer 7

I'm surprised that you ever thought the government represented us. It appears that more and more Americans want the government to get bigger, as soon as we elect a Democrat to the Presidency, we will all sit back and watch in amazement the growth of the government, with public health care.

Answer 8

The founders also knew that the power should go to the states, and less to the Federal government. (see 10th Amendment)

The problem today is that the electorate is uninformed and fickle. We have Democrats who'd love to tax us more today and Republicans who'd love to tax us more tomorrow.

Answer 9
