Why?

In times such as these, we find ourselves asking one very important question concerning a wide variety of issues; Why...?  When so many are either losing their jobs, homes, and even their minds, with many more wondering if and when they will be next, politicians and bureaucrats continue their needless and wasteful spending practices, raising taxes and creating or raising fees for services, and even expanding the size government; Why...?  Well, they have lost touch with reality and the people to which they are supposed to serve, and with a larger government they have the ability to intrude on and have control over us even more than they should.  You almost always hear how the government is the source of all of the problems, to this I say : No!; Why...?  The system of government to which we have become accustomed is not the problem, it is the politicians and bureaucrats that are involved in it that are the source of the problems and causing all of our pain. It seems as though most, if not all, of the decisions that are made or even considered by these, are driven by greed, power, and/or possible votes. The healthcare issue is just more of the same old politics. It has been made out to be a much larger issue than it actually is, as with many other issues. Instead of repairing the problems, they choose to either change, replace, or complicate them; Why...?  As I stated earlier, greed, power, and/or possible votes. If your vehicle's alternator goes bad, are you  going to go into more debt by buying another vehicle? No! You are going to repair the problem. It is the same with the issues at hand. You can be assured that there is money to be made by doing that which they plan to do or they would not even contemplate doing it. Create yet another entitlement, get more votes in order to retain them. Change the way things are done, make more money for themselves or for those of whom support them, assuring that they will continue to have that support. Continue to use fear in order to take more control. If they were seriously intending on correcting the systems, they would use the resources at hand in order to weed out those of whom are participating in them that do not need it,  abusing or defrauding the system, but, they will not, due to the fact that most of their voter base and those which support them are involved. It is all about them,( those in the government ), and not about all of us, the country as a whole. America, we need to take back control of our government and our country; Why...?  Because if we do not, we will lose everything. We have to take it back and place it in the hands of the people, people who understand what it takes to make it from day to day. If we fail, we all lose. We must, without fail, Restore Freedom, Liberty, and Justice in America Now!!! Why...? Because we cannot afford  to do nothing.
