Please alow me to correct that. After serving my country I started my
own business.

Times have changed Tim. Many people now think that our country exists
to serve them and it owes them a living.

The government exists to serve the people. Many now in power in the GOP
think the government exists to make it easier for them to amass wealth at
the expense of the middle class. *They* think the government is there for
the plucking, to help them maintain a millionaire's lifestyle.

No sir.

The government does not exist to "serve".
People serve to support the government.

The government exists to provide national security, to develop and execute
policies in the national interest, and to legislate federal laws for the
common good and in accordance with the constitution.

The government, in our form, is designed to preserve freedoms and
opportunities, within the laws.
It doesn't exist to "serve" in any other way. The conclusion you draw is
due to the many interpretations and variances that have evolved over the
past two centuries.
