When we step back and note the dramatic rapid descent of our economy, we see our country has fallen from being a superpower and is now a country that is:

We must ask ourselves, why are our leaders not doing anything to stop it?  

 

Are we blind?  

 

Have we become stupefied by the uncontrolled, unchecked food and medicine that we import to live on? To a great extent, it is clear that our leaders must have been bought off by lobbyists - domestic and foreign - who work against this country's greater good. They are working more for those who fund their campaigns for re-election than for the votes that put them in office. Certainly any well intended elected official whose interests are to better our country's conditions can see the folly of our ways. Surely they would want to stop our destructive plunge off an economic cliff. 

 

We must ask the question, who are our elected leaders working for? Given our current economic position, it is obvious our representatives are not working for the best interest of our country.  

 

When our fate and future rests in the hands of our own elected officials – who may be doing very detrimental things to our economy, and who may not be trained or qualified for the job – we need to begin questioning our leaders actions. While it may sound like a far out proposal, we should ask them whose best interest are they working toward. Do we need to set up polygraph tests to get to the truth? As important as this may be to protect us from the ill effects of our political leaders, these same guidelines should be implemented on lobbyist groups. Nearly all lobbyists are former elected officials or other former government employees.  

 

We need a way to make our officials responsible for the current damage they are effecting on the country.

Indeed!

But honestly, I hate the word "may".  It is functionally equivalent to "may NOT", don't you agree (and thus a favorite of MSM headlines and those who want to cloud the issue ("New breakthrough may cure cancer", e.g.). 

Just ignore the 'radical' ;-)

@Nota Khan This was written to those that have not figure it out yet. It is easy to preach to the choir, it in another thing to help others see the light without appearing like a radical.

YES! Want proof? When you have to ask things like "We must ask the question, who are our elected leaders working for?" AND your using -- more than once -- the word "may" in "who may be doing very detrimental things to our economy, and who may not be trained or qualified for the job"

 

Appears you still have doubts. There shouldn't be!

 

Some quotes for you:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

 

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary.  If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." -- James Madison,  Federalist no. 51.

 

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams

 

"Voting is no substitute for the eternal vigilance that every friend of freedom must demonstrate towards government.   If our freedom is to survive, Americans must become far better informed of the dangers from Washington -- regardless of who wins the Presidency." -- James Bovard in Voting is Overrated

 

"But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.  It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government." -- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837
