I used to be a proponent of free market capitalism but these days I feel that their certain parts of the necessities of life that should be provided for by the government. The bullshit about the American System of Government is that the money we spend goes to all the wrong things. What we need to do is hold the government accountable for the money they spend that way could provide the quality of life that citizens deserve. I know some right wingers might cry foul at the idea of “deserve”, but we pay taxes and the money is being misspent, all I am asking for is the most capitalistic notion around, to get what you pay for. The problem with the healthcare system is that those who can afford to pay for it pay up the nose which will lead them to a lower quality of life if they were making less and could be subsidized by the government. Healthcare should be an entitlement, look at our neighbors to the north, they aren’t busy fighting needless wars so they can afford to have some fiscal discipline. Bush and his minions, in this I include all those in Washington, (except for Obama who I have believe might actually have a head on his shoulders and a soul left unspoiled by the political beast) never learned that an equation must have equal sides, you can’t spend what you don’t have. Period!!!! I don’t consider myself a republican nor a democrat, I am an independent through and through and I feel that what we need is a new paradigm in government. We need to reclaim our sovereignty as the voters of this country. We shouldn’t give up hope because it seems useless; this is our right as citizens and our duty. Let us not shirk this responsibility, let’s call our “leaders” to task. Let us take on the world and cast it in an image that resembles an enlightened society. There are divides between the two political parties over things like how to best spend money on education or healthcare but I don’t believe that same divide exists amongst citizens, we’d say give us them both free. Then let us trim down the governments ranks like Corporate America “restructures” themselves all the time. Let us in cyberspace unite and present a united and powerful voice against the “good old boys” in congress, whether they be men or women. Let us say “We Want the World and We Want it Now!”
