Congress Just Doesn’t Get It – It’s about the People!

I was looking at the most recent Congressional Approval Rating this afternoon, and my first thought was, “garbage in, garbage out.” If insanity had a political trend line, then I bet it would look like the graphic above. It’s obvious that there is a problem.
Do you like losing your investments to those seeking short-term gains? I don’t.
Do you like losing your job due the decisions of government regulators? I don’t.
Do you like fighting shooting wars that cannot be won? I don’t.
Do you like being in debt? I don’t.
Do you like spending and “paying for it” ten years from whenever? I don’t.
Do you like getting “bossed” by the administrative state? I don’t.
Do you like “their rights” forced upon you without regard to your rights? I don’t.
Speaking only for myself, I am 100% disgusted with the entire Congressional population. I did not vote for anyone to get rich at my expense (I contribute to a salary whether they work or not), to ignore me by hanging up the phone (I don’t care if it was a staffer or not), or to dictate to me how I am to manage my personal property (I don’t care how healthy you think I should be). I can go on and on. I bet between you and me, we can come up with a list that can gift wrap the globe.
Perhaps the Congress just doesn’t get why they were made stewards of the American way in the first place? If you believe the contrary, then I have news for you.
You are dead wrong!
You, the citizen, are ultimately responsible for the government and its actions. Deferring this to others is stupidity in action. Deferring your business to decision-makers who pay no price for being wrong is not only stupid, it’s dangerous.
Think about it? If Congressmen were true to their oaths and beyond corruption, then would less than 11% of Americans approve of their overall performance?
Going Forward
It’s time to claim ownership of what is ours, The American way of life. Its elected and appointed stewards should be afraid of the People, not the other way around. It’s time to break the “garbage in, garbage out” cycle.
If the government is too big for proper stewardship, then reduce the government.
If an agency is abusive, then abolish it.
Do you really need their brand of C.R.A.P. (Coercive, Ridiculous, Absurd, and Pointless)?
I can hear it now, “It’s the government. They are going to get what they want anyway.” Just what are you saying? What do you have to lose that the government isn’t already prepared to take whether you’re with the program or not?
Your money (how are you with taxes, fees, fines, charges, adjustments, etc.)?
Your future (how many trillions of reasons to you need)?
Your property (how about eminent domain, seizure, collections)?
Your business (you better take care that you don’t hurt the feelings of “special status” customers)?
Your time (where are you on prison time for non-violent possessions)?
Your liberty to choose (better hope your personal life doesn’t appear to inhibit someone’s personal life)?
Enough is enough. If they won’t “police up their garbage,” then we are going to have to do it for them. How? Let’s start by let anyone’s “garbage out” be the next “garbage in.”
