WHO SHOULD WE BE?

ALL ABOUT COUNTRY

How does or should the US work? Democracy and Capitalism is not for every country or for all people. To make this country work a large majority of the citizens need a strong character with good moral and ethical principles. Otherwise, the country will move toward anarchy. Most of the people must live responsibly of their own cognizance. Government needs to control the rest. One of governments responsibilities is maintain chaos below the level of uncontrollable demonstration. I believe our founding fathers knew that the nation needed to be God fearing and have a strong Judeo-Christian foundation. If these principles don't exist then another form of government is required. From the Old Testament we learn that a nation whose leaders and citizens turn away from God, will decay and eventually be destroyed by famine, violence or captivity.

Our nation may be struggling with this problem right now? So, what should we do? What are the major symptoms of our problems today? Unemployment, drugs, porn, violence , crime, debt (public and private) and some others that can be added to one of these categories. Do enough people believe we have a big problem to be willing to try some drastic measures?

How about letting God be bigger than government? We don't have to mix them. We can still maintain the desired separation. But, why not give God a try! If people just found enough of God to take on a position of moral and ethical self control, it would be a start. Then maybe we would have enough courage to try a few new ideas. Greatly reducing or removing taxes from our business sector would cause jobs to come roaring back into the US and greatly reduce unemployment. Taking government restriction off the private sector because we can trust the new moral and ethical conduct would greatly reduce operating costs. Ethical responsibility in business would cause businesses to pass the savings on to their customers. Would we still have crime and require laws and enforcement to protect the ones acting in good faith? Of course! But, find ways control and punish the guilty without placing shackles on the innocent. Have a few good laws and enforce them. A novel idea.

Let's cut the cost of government starting at the top. Business can do the same. Cut the number of congressmen. Have them work half a year. Pay them less. Cut congressional administrative staffs by half or more. Get rid of unnecessary departments (like the department of Energy). We are going to need these folks to fill the jobs created in the business sector. Require people to become citizens and speak English. Otherwise, deport them and their families. Even if some of their dependent family are citizens. A law is a law. Only God effectively provides mercy. Get rid of government sponsored welfare. Turn it all over to the responsible private sector. If people are financially responsible and charitable, we won't need those programs. If anyone disagrees, the he is likely to be unprincipled. Where do we train people to be principled? How about in our homes. Start with the youth. They are the future. Do we have time? Does it matter? Start now! Start some where!
