Government Abusing Power • The Government has too much power
Presently, our Government in the United States has way too much control over our country. Whatever happened to our rights?! Everyday, they seem to take away our rights, which is such a crime! Why do we allow our government to control us? If something is not done, we will not have any rights whatsoever! I’m so glad to be an American citizen and to live in the United States of America. We have the freedom of speech, which most countries do not have. We have the right to bear arms. Once we are 18 years of age, we get the opportunity and the right to vote for our president, governor, etc. I feel so privileged to live here, but lately it seems that our government is taking over and controlling too much in our country. When it comes to health care, our government wants to control that as well. Control it to the point where we cannot decide on the doctors we want to see down to our medications. This just completely disgusts me! We all work hard to earn this health care, our health care! I feel very privileged to have great health care through my work, but I am praying and hoping that the government does not screw this up for all of us. I was listening to Glenn Beck on Fox News the other evening discussing about our government. About how they are producing more money and they have no backbone to stop. They are basically putting our country into more debt. Glenn Beck feels there is a way out of this bad economy and so do I. The way the government is approaching it is not the way to do it. I wish our government would just stop, take a deep breath, look around and truly focus on finding other ways to get us out of this mess. They seem to make more of a mess then resolving any issues. Honestly, I hope it doesn’t get to the point where we cannot decide on what clothes to wear, what to eat, when to use the restroom, when to breathe. It would be a crying shame if the government decided on that for us! I agree with Glenn Beck ~ there are other ways to get us out of these mess! - Unknown (http://socyberty.com/issues/government-too-much-control-over-us-americans/)
Where is the protest that government can take over anyone’s property by use of eminent domain? Where is the protest that guns are legal but you can’t carry them everywhere; So legality is a non issue. Where is the protest that one can be taxed out of property they have already paid for and own? -Unkown
THE Government--I heard about the Government and I went out to find it. I said I would look closely at it when I saw it.Then I saw a policeman dragging a drunken man to the callaboose. It was the Government in action.I saw a ward alderman slip into an office one morning and talk with a judge. Later in the day the judge dismissed a case against a pickpocket who was a live ward worker for the alderman. Again I saw this was the Government, doing things.I saw militiamen level their rifles at a crowd of workingmen who were trying to get other workingmen to stay away from a shop where there was a strike on. Government in action. Everywhere I saw that Government is a thing made of men, that Government has blood and bones, it is many mouths whispering into many ears, sending telegrams, aiming rifles, writing orders, saying "yes" and "no." Government dies as the men who form it die and are laid away in their graves and the new Government that comes after is human, made of heartbeats of blood ambitions, lusts, and money running through it all, money paid and money taken, and money covered up and spoken of with hushed voices.A Government is just as secret and mysterious and sensitive as any human sinner carrying a load of germs, traditions and corpuscles handed down from fathers and mothers away back. -Carl Sandburg (http://carl-sandburg.com/government.htm)
