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.

I see. You base your belief on theory, and I am steeped in reality.
I get it.


No. You have created a "reality" because it suits your needs.

Look, I simply don't buy all the BS that is thrown out about how Bush and
Cheney are lining their pockets with oil money, kickbacks for Halliburton
contracts, or any of the stupid crap that the left wingers would like us
to believe they have "proof" of.

I do agree that many in government are corrupt and take kickbacks. So do
local building inspectors, zoning board members and cops. But, to claim
the Republicans are, by default, all dishonest and thieves, but Democrats
are pure, full of virtue and exist only to right all wrongs is about the
dumbest thing any mature adult could possibly believe.

So why do you promote it? Is this your "reality"?

In the union, that was called a "government job".
