America has grown as a free county with a capitalist society. A society in which the individual can rise or fall depending on their work and dedication - free market. Free market is one of the great aspects of America. A free market by definition is a market without government regulation or other forms of intervention. The government’s sole purpose is to protect individual rights and the constitution is meant to ensure that the government does just that. Lately, and no thanks to the new socialist infection plaguing our country, we have taken a turn in a different direction. Corporations deemed inadequate by our economy have been hoisted out of bankruptcy. Taxes are continuously increasing. Regulations (i.e. price floors and ceilings) have been placed on goods such as gas. Laws have been passed revoking rights for years without repeals. Movements have been made to issue a socialized health care system. America by no means has retained an economy with minimal government intervention.
If anyone questions lady liberty’s ill state ask yourselves these questions. Is it right that at the age of 18 a young man can be taken from his home? Is it right that he can be shoved in a bus with a gun and be shipped half way across the world? Is it right that he can die for his freedom and yet if he desired to not legally enjoy an alcoholic beverage for three more years? I personally do not drink nor do I understand the constant desire the become intoxicated, but something is wrong here. Taxpayers work through blood and sweat for their money. The government then takes it and gives it to a neighbor on public aid that can’t find a job because he or she is an alcoholic, or it is given to a fifteen year old girl who has three kids because she can’t keep her legs shut, or it is given to the city to put cameras on the streets to ticket those same taxpayers if they happen to run a red light.
America is known as the land of opportunity. The land where someone can turn three pennies into millions. Though it may be a corny cliche it holds some truth. This country is being ruined by lazy people who expect everything to be given to them. These people sit on their couches electing officials that will give them what they want, free money. Americans seem to desire an existence depicted in George Orwell’s 1984. The country seems to be pushing for complete government control. What usually happens when one force is given power?... its never given back! The people of America need to start excepting responsibility for their actions and do something about our country. WE need to stop caring so much about who’s gay and a little bit more about who’s being robbed of the freedom THEY deserve. Ergo, stop following an empty saying such as "change" and stand up for your rights as an American!
