Editor,
It certainly appears that during this time in the history of our species, the government of, by and for the people is struggling to be born at various locations on the planet. At the same time, government of, by and for the people is on its death bed in the United States of America.
The survival of government of, by and for the people in the United States of America is dependent upon the people in the United States of America becoming aware of its impending demise. People must also take the necessary action to restore the robust health of the middle class, which is now about to breathe its last breath.
This will not be an easy task because government of, by and for the people in the United States of America is well on its way to becoming government of the few, by the few and for the few at the expense of the vast majority. Has anyone but me noticed that a form of dictatorship is almost in place in Wisconsin?
It is essential that a sufficient number of us become aware whether our words and actions are hastening the death of government by, for and of the people or restoring it back to good health. And we must do what is required to ensure that our words and actions are, henceforth, dedicated to the latter of those two. In other words, if government of, by and for the people is to survive in this country, we must stop being part of the problem contributing to its demise and become part of the solution contributing to its survival.
