After some consideration I have come to the conclusion that America does not need political parties! Why? Because all of the parties have some agenda, or social idea, or in other words some extreme "axe to grind." For examples, the Republicans believe that the only thing that is important is that their way (working to become self sufficient, rich and powerful) is the only thing that Americans need to do to live (they will never need welfare, Social Security, or Medicare/Medicaid.) The Democrats, on the other hand, believe that everyone should be taken care of no matter what the cost and that the only real function of government is to level everyone to the same status (really no status) and only the party big Whigs have power, perks, and the special privileges. The Libertarians, believe that we really don't need any government and that everyone should be absolutely free to do whatever they want. The Tea Party may be the only good party because they don't really know what they want. So what is my conclusion? What should our government really be like? First, we as voters and politicians should make sure that we believe in and support the Constitution of the United States that our nation is supposed to be based on. Next, we should elect only those politicians who support the Constitution and take sound and reasonable positions on the issues. We should vote for who we personally think are the best people and leaders and forget about parties and the political nonsense that does not mean anything. Then in a democracy like ours, the majority is right by the definition of our government.
We as Americans need to recognize that we will always have poor people and people who need help from the rest of us. Not everyone will be capable of earning enough money to become self-sufficient. And people do eventually get old and possibly disabled, and not able to work anymore. And what about people who have paid significant part of their salaries into Social Security and Medicare deductions for years (without any choice). Should they be cheated out of their benefits just because some people are upset about government spending? There are a lot of other areas of government that could be cut before we need to start cutting Social Security and Medicare. On Tuesday Nov. 2, you will have a chance to make your choices. Vote for the Constitution!
