Do you actually think that greed and corruption sprung up in the last 200 years of humankind? Capitalism with democracy is the best system. Our great country proves that as we sit in a role (good and bad) as protectors of the world.
What our founders didn't take into account was that Americans would grow lazy and uninterested in educating themselves on the basic tenets of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Rule of Law, which is a shining beacon for all nations.
The opportunities that this country provides are limitless. There's a reason why folks around the world are literally dying to get here to live.
If you think these things need to be changed, maybe you need to go live somewhere else for awhile to gain a greater appreciation of it. I'm sure there are millions of folks who would trade you for their opportunity of the American dream.
And there are a million who would not.
With that said, we as leaders of free nations have become lazy, we want things, but we are unwilling to work for them. We would rather sit around blaming others for our failures.
I really do not want to agrue, that rarely get us anywhere.
We as a nation need to pull up our bootstraps and work togeter towards a common goal. We have yet to figure out what that common goal is, all I have heard is that things are not working. True enough, what should we do about it?
