Be careful for whom you vote………

Benjamin Franklin said, "I am apprehensive — perhaps too apprehensive — that the government of these states may in future times end in a monarchy. But this catastrophe may be long delayed, if, in our proposed system, we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction, and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a number, and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside: it will only nourish the germ of a king, and a king will be the sooner set over us."

 

We may not have a king but only the extremely wealthy can afford to run for public office.

 

While the United States is the best country in the world we cannot ignore that our government has become corrupt and tyrannical. Members of our government, both those elected and those considered Civil Servants are intertwined with mismanaged corporations ready to have the taxpayers save their friends.

 

Politicians do not vote for what is in the best interest of the United States, and they do not vote as their constituents want them to vote. The politicians vote as instructed by their party with the intent of the party to seize power. Lacking instructions to the contrary they then vote in the best interest of those who give them money.

 

How can anyone, who spends close to ½ billion dollars for an office that pays less than ½ million dollars, be considered a fiscal conservatives? This year, 2008, the candidates will spend close to $1 billion why do you suppose people are willing to contribute so much? Do you suspect they expect dividends?
