Without getting real wound up about this, since 1963, the Government (Re:several Presidents and Congress) have been building a specific class of entitled people who live off the government, vote for the politicians who continue to add more entitlements, and raise the Government's Poverty Level . . The current @sshole continually laments the demise of the "Middle Class" by the rich . . Nothing could be farther from the truth. The "Middle Class" is being eroded from the bottom, by Politicians who know that as they continue to make more people dependent upon some or all of the government's entitlements, they assure themselves of those people's votes . .
Amend the Constitution to mandate part time Legislators (Both the House and Senate) and put term limits on them. Force them to obey the same laws they have made us adhere to, and make them accept Social Security and Medicare as their retirement program!
That would be a good start . .
