Government Is Not The Answer, We Are

Government is not the answer; we are. Governments are in the business of keeping the wealthy’ wealthy, and powerful, powerful. Let’s live our own lives and create our own worlds with our incredibly powerful talents. We decide our fate, not government. Since only we have our best interest at heart, get interested!

Well said, David. It will always end up coming down to how, "we the people" decide to live our lives and what we are willing to do to assure it is our choice. I like your prose, my friend. Have a great 2024! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Spoken like a true Republican. But can we?

I wasn't thinking all or nothing. But, lets say, everyone realized they can, or had to if able, stand on their own two feet, then government could be leaner?

Nice, congratulations on your top win! I believe that we are the government, we are the people. Politics are there to prevent wars and violence, not to make 'em. I don't trust man without a government! lol. A good example...The Wild West...the first thing a town demanded was a sheriff and officials to govern the territory. Health & Peace ~Anaya

Thanks for the kind words. I was thinking that if we spend too much time in the political arena, even if it's just discussing politicians, then that's less time spent on us, the people, who produce and create. I think officials will govern for the highest bidder, unfortunately, but having a few around can be helpful.
