” If there is a country in the world where concord, according to common calculation, would be the least expected, it is America. Made up as it is of people from different nations, accustomed to different forms and habits of government, speaking different languages, and more different in their modes of worship, it would appear that the union of such a people was impracticable; but by the simple operation of constructing government on the principles of society and the rights of man, every difficulty retires, and all the parts are brought into cordial unison. There the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged. Industry is not mortified by the splendid extravagance of a court rioting at its expense. Their taxes are few, because their government is just: and as there is nothing to render them wretched, there is nothing to engender riots and tumults “
America is not this way any more, sadly. We are pretty much diametrically opposed. We are divided into a plethora of groups, many of which oppose and fight against each other. There is little union. The poor ARE oppressed, and the rich are exalted. This can easily be seen on a daily basis. Government is obviously corrupt and unjust, and obviously taxes are too high. Very few Americans are aware that America has changed tremendously since its foundation. So many are fed up, so much so that there is serious civil unrest.
Things have gone too far, we need to return to the principles of liberty and freedom America was founded on. It’s either that or we continue on this road of tyranny and become a dreadful police state. What will you chose?
