I'm neither right nor left, but firmly for the average person. And for us, the vast majority of this country, the government hasn't worked for us in decades. Instead, politicians have wrapped themselves and their decisions in heaps of bureaucracy, miles of red tape, and all the insider trading they can get away with. And they can get away with a lot.
It's why, despite the federal government taking more and more of our paychecks over the last 30 years, our roads are still trash, our schools are falling apart with teachers funding their own supplies, our national parks and forests go unmaintained and prone to fire, and why everything in our lives feels a little worse with each passing year.
They've got the money to fix all this, but they've made it absolutely impossible to do so in any real way, just so they go after one another in the press and fundraise off our anger that "the other side" won't let them get things done. It's horseshit.
