The Revolution Is Coming

"Despite the economic stimulus that Congress just passed and the budget and financial and mortgage bailouts that Congress is now debating, just 19% of voters believe that Congress has passed any significant legislation to improve their lives. While Congress's approval has increased, it still stands at only 18%."

"When it comes to the nation's economic issues, two-thirds of voters have more confidence in their own judgment than they do in the average member of Congress. "

"Only less than a quarter of Americans believe that the federal government truly reflects the will of the people. Almost half disagree with the idea that no one can earn a living or live "an American life" without protection and empowerment by the government, while only one-third agree. Over two-thirds of voters believe members of Congress are more interested in helping their own careers than in helping the American people."

"All of this is not just a subject for pollsters and analysts to debate. It shows fundamentally that public confidence in government remains low and is slipping. We face the possibility of substantial gridlock along with an absolute absence of public confidence that could come to mirror the lack of confidence in the American economy that the Dow and the S&P are currently showing."

I want Barack Obama to succeed, I really do. I want the Presidency and the United States to prosper and I want our economy to recover. However, why, if we all feel the way we do, are we allowing this to continue happening? Do we not live in a Democracy? Do we not live in a country that was created by over throwing government injustice and tyranny?

I, as apparently you are, am disgusted with the United States Government. This statement runs from Reagan forward and includes Democrats as well as Republicans. Politicians are all the same and they have ceased to be useful or effective at running our country. Stay tuned next week and I will layout an idea for restructuring our political system.
