Governmental reforms are impossible through action by the Government
That's the problem. This Government is the firewall that protects the "connected" from us. And like good citizens, we habitually ask Government to solve our problems.

They tell us that they exist to help the common hardworking American. It's a lie. They are paid professional liars. They are paid by all the forces that work against us. Lobbying, Corporations, the military, and even foreign interest. We are unrepresented in Washington.

I don't know where we should go to solve anything anymore. All I know is Washington is not our friend. Is it any wonder that with almost all corrupted governments now and historically, revolution eventually happens?

1. I think one of our biggest mistakes has been to think that we can vote for change

then sit back and watch it happen. The last 3 years should have taught that we are on our own.

On edit, when I here of all the good that has been done by this administration so far, I say look at the lives of the majority of middle class and working class people. Their lives are not better by all that has been done by this administration. Unemployment is over 16%, college grads cannot find work, people are still being foreclosed on, 1 in 5 children are living in poverty and hunger and that means so are their parents. The income gap is growing. More people are without health care than before the health care reforms. Unions are being attacked and eliminated.

2. Thank you for your concern.
A pity it reflects such stunning ignorance.

3. Why don't you respond intelligently rather than throwing out those slam type responses.

Say what you mean. Respond with facts that support your point of view!

4. Allowing all our former industries
to walk away and seek slave labor is a monumental betrayal by our government. We are now suspended in a state of bankruptcy that will end in tragedy. The citizens were not involved.

and thanks for your concern.
