Why do we set aside a day for a “dreamer” when we roll all of our past presidents into one day of recognition? Probably for the same reason elected officials are permitted to violate the trust placed in them by the voters. It is time to put the tea in the harbor and let the voters regain control.

The writers of our Constitution had the foresight to stipulate,among other requirements, that only property owners were qualified to vote. I don’t necessarily agree with that rule, but I do think that only tax payers should have the privilege of voting. If you don’t have a vested interest in our government why should you have the right to direct it by voting?

At the present time our elected officials are putting the economics of our children’s future in great danger and they seem to think that the taxpayers will be able to fund their “wildest” dreams and schemes. It was never intended that we taxpayers support all the world’s needs as well as the ones here who seem to not want to work. No aid should be given to governments but direct to people in need,after all their leaders,in many cases, are responsible for their condition.

If you are content with the way our country is headed, then I suggest you look at the history of past civilizations and see what happened to them, they rotted from the inside much like a fir tree, then they fall.

Governments can not tolerate parasites and leaches so think about what you do when you go to the polls.
