Green Band-Aid

The problem with our country is the fact that we throw money at all of our problems. It is like a mother bandaging her child’s skinned knee with a dollar bill. Sure, it might stick to the kid’s knee for a while but in the end it will make matters worse rather than better. Capitol hill has become the scene of utmost greed and disillusionment, like bourbon street during Mardi Gras, the populace has become patrons in a parade where Uncle Sam throws dollar-bills instead of beads and wears a smiling mask of democracy while individuals, families, organizations, and “underprivileged” citizens scramble and fight over the loot. The madness leads me to believe that we should change our nation’s motto from “In God we trust” to “Throw me something mister!” The Fema Fiasco after Hurricane Katrina is just one example of what will take place when Uncle Sam runs out of dough to throw.
The U.S. government has created its own monster. It has spawned an entire generation that depends on them to finance their retirement, feed them, and pay for their doctor bills, abortions, contraception, education plus exporting large amounts of money to other parts of the world. Maybe the more appropriate term for the government should be “Daddy Sam” rather than “Uncle Sam”. They have created a government-sufficient, welfare state. They have hand-fed the elephant at the zoo peanuts until it is nice and fat and spoiled and they haven’t bothered to ask themselves what will happen when they run out of peanuts.
I believe it is time for another revolution. A return to the roots of what our country was founded on. I believe we should begin to exercise our rights given to us by our forefathers. As citizens of this great country, I think it is time that we the people took our lives into our own hands. I think it is time we started building our own homes, raising our own families, and putting food on our own tables. Our government by the people for the people has become nothing more than a socialistic institution, a sinking ship drowning in debt, steadily dolling out money it does not have to a greedy, mutinous crew.
