Editor,
I am an objective observer of what transpires in Washington, D.C. From my perspective as a member of no political party, it seems to me that the majority of one of our two primary political parties has opinions such as the following:
1) We do not want our young people to become educated.
2) We do not want common working people, the backbone of the country, to receive reasonable pay or have the right to organize into unions.
3) We want to make it difficult, and hopefully impossible, for people who tend to vote for the other party to vote.
4) We contend that anyone who is unemployed is lazy, does not want to work and is trying to get the government to provide for them.
5) Those who are already very wealthy and who are already in positions of power deserve more money and power at the expense of those who have less.
Being a very curious person, I wonder if the Founding Fathers would perceive those opinions as acceptable in their perception of the government they fought so hard to establish on this planet — a government of, by and for the people.
