America Needs To Wake Up

I have been reading various posts and watching the news programs. I have taken note that many people are not happy with our Government.
For all of you that are not I would suggest you place the blame where it belongs. That is on your selves.
Yes it is true all of us have messed up badly and voted for a group of people that cannot find their butts with both hands.
I also see we blame the people in office for our problems. This is not right. We voted for people who cannot manage to keep their own affairs in order, let alone ours. Then we gripe when they fail.
This reminds me of an old saying, you can't buy respect, you can only earn it. More and more our politicians are "buying respect" with fancy gimmicks and advertising.
This does not make them people of substance. It just shows how deeply their self-interest goes. They really do not care about us, the voter, other than we have a vote. And they seem determined to get this at any cost so that they might feed off of the public they say they represent.
So wake up voters and realize that these politicians are making fools of all of us because we allow them to do so. All the "Perks" the House and Senate enjoy they enjoy these at our expense. If they truly want to serve as they say why do they not cut these perks?
Because we as voters do not demand that they do so. If one leaves these people to do as they wish they will continue to take advantage of our good will. They interpret this good will as our votes. We have allowed these individuals to take advantage of us seemingly with no complaint.
So if you have a bitch about what our government does then look in your own backyard. Yes, you and me and all the others out there who vote are responsible for this mess.
For all of you out there who are thinking I am not part of this because I didn't vote, you are so wrong. If you did not vote then you can't even bitch. You had no say then and do not deserve one now. So piss off.
Until the citizens of this country take the vote seriously and make informed choices we will have the same garbage we have now. Politicians that take advantage of us and run our lives as they see fit.
If you want a difference then limit terms and don't allow these people to rule your life. Until that happens we will live with the same entrenched old guard we have had for years.
