America is a oligarchy/plutocracy now.
Forget our Constitution and the balancing branches of govt. Self-rule has been abused and replaced by the wealthy who have adjusted the system to their benefit.
I love this country too. But the reality is, we no longer follow our Constitution. We are in national debt over our eyeballs and no plan to address it. We insist on foreign entanglements/war, because it is good for business (just the billionaires who benefit).
I suppose it might be possible to return to the good old days of three balancing branches of govt. Takes a responsive Congress that hasn't sold out to the highest bidder. That happened decades ago. Even the Supreme Court has bent over for Corporate America.
Why do you think nothing changes? Because those in power behind the throne, making enormous wealth, want it that way. A revolution aimed not at Washington, but at the billionaires behind the scenes pulling all the strings, is necessary to restore our Constitution as the actual Law of the Land. Every time a figurehead president (all of them since LBJ) signs an Executive Order, he goes right around the entire process, thus weakening it further.
Time to change our flag to one with a Dollar Sign.
And yes, my flag is still up in my front yard. Happy 4th. I guess. (boy this is going to piss some people off....)
