AMERICA: All that ails us

I can see why the American people are so totally fed up with deceptive D.C. politicians, the situations labeling politicians either left or right, red or blue, Democrat or Republican don’t seem to be good labels. As I see it, the term “progressive” for most of them seems to fit both parties better.

Progressing toward a form of socialism, Americans appear to be losing more freedoms all the time. Big brother has many long reaching abilities, info grabbing in many areas. Too many people in America are dependent on big brother entitlement programs. Some of those programs are severely abused. Too many large employers are leaving America and setting up shop abroad for many reasons. The government needs to cut or eliminate excessive taxes and over-regulations to businesses to keep them in the U.S. The corporate tax is almost 40 percent - that needs to be cut drastically. A fair tax sounds great, especially if it eliminates the IRS. In the long run the control and manipulation by big brother needs to be cut drastically. God help the U.S.

Please vote with intellect, not emotions!
