Why do we keep asking for more?

Why is the government the first answer to everything when there appears to be a problem? People are talking on their phones in the car and getting into accidents; what is the government going to do about it? People are getting fat; what is the government going to do about it? People are smoking cigarettes; what is the government going to do about it? A kid tragically drowns in a pool; what is the government going to do about it? Kids are failing in school; what is the government going to do about it? College is getting too expensive; what is the government going to do about it? Gas is getting too expensive; what is the government going to do about it? Teens are drinking and driving; what is the government going to do about it? Kids are wearing their pants too low on their butt; what is the government going to do about it?

It doesn’t matter what it is the knee jerk reaction for too many is; what is the government going to do about it? How about this; what are you and I going to do about it? How can we as a community of individuals do something about it? How can we resolve problems if we keep asking the government to get involved?

Have we not figured out that the more we request the government to act the worse off we have become as a nation? The facts are right in front of our face. Most problems are tied directly to bad behavior of individual’s and the answer lies in the individual taking responsibility for their lives not asking for more government intervention. We are on a collision course to disaster. The disaster is the end of the United States as we know it; the home of individual freedom and ingenuity. We are becoming sheep out to slaughter.

Most politicians have never done the hard work you do every day so why ask them to solve something you are best suited to solve? They are usually the most privileged amongst us and believe you are incapable. They have the nerve to lecture us about our lives? Look at what they have done to this great nation? Enough said.

Most Americans when they take the time to think things through agree; government is inefficient and wasteful, not to say it steals people’s future. So why do we keep asking government to do what it can’t? We have seen the results and the results are clear; government is the problem, it is not the solution… Hasn’t the government done enough to us?
