You know that's not true. It long ago went out of the people's hands and became totally corrupt.
Did you decide to "experiment" on poor black people and deliberately give them STD's and fake treatments just to see what would happen to them? No? Me neither.
Did YOU decide to go to an undeclared war in Vietnam? Nope? Me neither.
Did YOU decide to have our CIA promote disruption and destabilization of govt.'s and assassinate leaders in South and Central America? Nope? Me neither.
Did YOU decide to start a "war on drugs" against the citizens of this country? No? Me neither.
Did YOU decide to invade Afghanistan when a handful of guys with box cutters hijacked and crashed planes on 9-11? No? Me neither.
Did YOU decide to invade Iraq "pre-emptively"? No? Me either.
GrantMercury...our govt. is NOT "us". It's a group of totally corrupt lifetime politicians who are bleeding this country dry.
I seriously can not understand how any liberal minded person would want to give the govt. more money and more control over our lives.
The liberal people I saw when I was young in the 1960's and 1970's were all about FREEDOM and protested against govt. control of their lives.
This is like some kind of bizarro world where everything is upside down.
I think that in time you and many others are going to come to regret your faux liberalism view of handing the govt. everything and taking your own rights and money away.
