It appears that the gov't, and alot of politicians, has forgotten about what America was founded on. The people were fleeing from oppresive regimes in Europe and they were very aware of one thing: Never should an American gov't gain so much power that it would be able to oppress its citizens. The Constitution has during these 240 years seen to that.
As of today this is changing. The Constitutional rights are dwindling, even though that is unconstitutional. Why is this? The Old America was a land where every man, woman, child had to work hard together to get by. People were sweating for even a nickle, and nobody was expecting handouts. Somewhere along the road this has changed. we now have alot of people sitting on their butts doing nothing, but, like my granddad told me, there was plenty of those folks back in the 20s, 30s, 40s etc etc, thing is though, they had no voice, and they were ostracized in every thinkable manner. Nobody cared about them. And that is also wrong, because then rioting could be the next step.
Then somebody came up with the idea that society should carry a man's burdens through taxation. Long story short, this gave alot of non working people a steady income, which in turn teached them that working wasn't really necessary. History has laid it out for us, a non working society is a weak society. If the the working/non working ratio is heading the wrong direction we will be in serious trouble very soon. Also, this gave the gov't more power. Whenever people are dependent, they tend to be supportive of the power governing them. Step by step the people have been letting go of power, in fact to an extent that people now are supporting the 2016 Republican candidate. I can understand that, because the Old America is disappearing.
Yet I think supporting him is not the best way of reversing this. The country needs a nationwide change, a new guy in DC wont cut it, especially when this new guy has serious communication issues.
The states have to start passing laws that don't let executive power be leaving the states. The people needs to know that the power is to be found on a state level, not in a place surrounded by unclear visions, career politicians, crooked business men/women and pundits.
