Maybe a National Tea Party (http://www.teapartyday.com/) is exactly what we need.
The government continues to implement the flawed and dangerous bailout of US banking, insurance, and auto makers, despite the objection of a growing majority of the citizenry of the nation. Many in the government see additional Federal regulation, increased taxes, and government control of private business is the solution to our current economic woes, I however see it as a recipe for disaster.
It is one large step closer to a socialist government and the end of the US our parents and grandparents fought so hard to build. Has our largesse (defined as a generous bestowal of gifts) from the public coffers grown to large? Have the various parties of our government realized that spending money means staying in power?
The following quote sums it up best:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury.” – attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler, (October 15, 1747 – January 5, 1813).
Maybe it is time for another tea party…
