BETRAYED BY THE RULING CLASS

THE FOUNDERS CREATED A GOVERNMENT THAT WAS CONTROLLED
BY ITS CITIZENS AFTER 125 YRS OF BRITISH RULE....THE WAR FOR
INDEPENDANCE PURCHASED THE COLONISTS FREEDOM THROUGH
8 YRS OF SUFFERING, MISERY AND DEATH......THE GOVERNMENT THEY
FOUNDED WAS THE EXCEPTION TO ALL OTHERS IN THE WORLD....A
GOVERNMENT WHERE THE PEOPLE COULD MAKE INDIVIDUAL
CHOICES, TO GOVERN THEIR OWN LIVES, TO PURSUE THEIR OWN
HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY......IT WASN'T PERFECT AS HISTORY
HAS RECORDED, BUT IT WAS BETTER THAN BEING RULED BY A
DISTANT MONARCH OR A CRUEL DICTATOR......

THE GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES WERE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE,
THEY WERE MEANT TO BE PART TIME ONLY, CITIZEN POLITICIANS WHO
WERE CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE....FARMERS, BUSINESSMEN, DOCTORS, ETC.
OVER TIME HOWEVER, THE PART TIME REPRESENTATIVES BECAME FULL
TIME POLTICIANS....THEY BECAME INSULATED FROM THE PEOPLE THEY
WERE ELECTED TO SERVE. THEY FORGOT WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO WORK
FOR A LIVING, THEY FORGOT THE STRUGGLES ENDURED BY THE
CITIZENRY........

NOWADAYS, POLTICIANS GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, GET ELECTED, AND
CAN SPEND 30 OR 40 YRS IN GOVERNMENT WITHOUT EVER WORKING AT
A REAL JOB....THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS WHEELING AND DEALING, PASSING
LEGISLATION THAT THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM...THEY ARE THE RULING CLASS
......CONGRESSMEN, SENATORS, JUDGES, PRESIDENTS....GOVERNORS, MAYORS,
STATE LEGISLATORS AND CITY COUNCILS....REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT,
THEY'RE BOTH THE SAME. WE WORK FOR THEM NOW AS SUBJECTS OF THE
ROYALTY....IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE THIS WAY....BUT WE, THE PEOPLE,
FELL ASLEEP AND FORFEITED OUR INHERITANCE................
