Why #4 /Why Do the Senators and Representatives of our Government think we are stupid?

Gosh, why, for those who are parents you may relate the people we vote for to go to capital hill are the children and we the parent. The only difference is they have the power to make our lives hell on earth. Does the Tail wagging the dog sound familiar.

Now in order to discuss this I must ask you to throw out and positive or negative feelings about George Bush (current) out of your mind. Because government has been ran this way for many years, almost like segregation, the women’s rights and so on. The principles are laid down, then the laws. If you strip the laws the principles remain to make new laws.

Now back to the question -Why Do the Senators and Representatives of our Government think we are stupid? There are a couple of reasons. First the people we are putting in power are not your average Americans for the most part, they are your top 2 to 5% of the wage earners in the county. How do I know this? What do they talk about when they speak of them selves, what schools they went to, how many degrees they have, what board of supervisors or trustees they sat on. I don’t know about you, but I have never seen a job application or posting to sit on the board of trustees of anything except for nursing homes.

Thus the privileged class is the one being voted into power, and this they already have a since of entitlement and arrogance of my way is the right way.

Next you have the long leash. We elect our senators for 6 years and our reps for 2. And no matter what they do, short of showing up on Dateline’s to catch a predator, they will get paid, month after month year after year. With no consequence for what they say or do, or don’t say or do.

Lastly “Money” the all mighty green back. Every politician will say we need to help the poor and middle class, the working poor and so on. But when was the last time any legislation actually helped the poor, middle class or working poor, that was not repelled. Tax cuts not Bushes’s in the past did help, but then they get removed, Taking candy from a baby. But more so than that, the politicians are paid to offers us these candies by special interest groups and wall street. When government lowers the interest rate housing takes off (Special Interest is paid to the politician that are in charge of that) when tariffs are placed on certain goods and not others, (Special Interest) they paid enough to have there competing product taxed to make it more expensive for us to buy forcing us to switch the brands we purchase.

My point is this, we are giving people who have never been were we have been, power over controlling our lives, of which they do not understand. Politicians are out of touch with the general public and do not know what is means to go without, they have never had there lights turned off, or worked overtime 7 days straight to cover a bill.

So remember Why Do the Senators and Representatives of our Government think we are stupid? Because we keep electing the same ones back even though they have stabbed us in our minds hearts and bank accounts. What would you think if you could do that to the people you work for, and they still keep you as an employee?
