The greatest threat to America

The greatest threat facing the American people today is the American government. It has gotten so huge, so unwieldy, it answers to no one. It is a ruling aristocracy at its worst.
We the people have allowed this to happen. We elect public servants as congressman and senators at the federal and state levels to do their best to protect Americans. To protect our country, our jobs, our resources, in short our lives, they have betrayed us. We have allowed them unlimited terms, and these offices are often passed down through family or party for generations. Except in rare cases due to publicity they are beyond the law.
This financial collapse might not have occurred had they been paying attention to America. Selling our jobs, and resources overseas is that protecting Americans? Allowing foreign nationals to buy and control American companies and move them overseas or bring in foreigners to run them, how does this protect America? I’ll make it easy for you, it doesn’t. The ruling class doesn’t care about anything but themselves. You see they get a retirement from 1 term in office with medical that most taxpayers don’t see after working 50 years. Out of office they use their influence to become lobbyists earning millions a year. What incentive is there for them to protect Americans when it could affect their lifestyle? None.
We need to take back America. We need to institute term limits, we need to institute time limits before elected officials can become lobbyists. We need laws keeping foreign concerns from buying and controlling American corporations. The founders of the USA had this to say about the people “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” –Declaration of Independence
