The government; yes I’m
sorry to say, the government, that paragon of virtue, has become nothing more
than a curse in the lives of most of the American people these days. It finds its way into our daily lives most
inappropriately, and at the most inopportune time.
New laws, taxes, fees, regulations,
requirements of every kind.
Listening in on us, tracking our every keyboard stroke or smart phone
transaction. Millionaires, most of
them, they party, and cavort unabashedly, with the Hollywood elite, Hip-hop,
rock and pop stars, and CEO’s of the largest corporations on the planet
(Facebook, Google, etc.). They
exempt themselves from indignities that common Americans are faced with (drug
testing, Obamacare), and crimes that you or I would be imprisoned for. They pass bills that they have never
read which contain laws that threaten our freedom, but not their own.
We must remind these ‘public servants’ that they have been
appointed by the people, and not anointed by some holy one as they would like to
believe.
Besides being way too big (all-encompassing, really), the
main problem with government is that the politicians actually believe their own
fiction. They are as deluded as
the general population of most mental institutions, and yet hold court as
if they were anointed, rather than appointed. They consider themselves to be loyal, moral and ethical
pillars of the country working hard on our behalf, and yet they wallow in their
own self-importance stroking themselves, and each other, for gratification, all
the while thinking that we see them as they see themselves.
The truth is, we can
see them, for who they actually are.
But we don’t care.
And that, my friends, is the real tragedy.
