When the majority has had it with you, then it’s time to start listening and stop trying to dictate your will, or that’s the way it should be. A new poll shows that only 25 percent of Americans agree with the way this country is being run, while 56 percent of Americans say we should dump the whole bunch and start over again. There is the 14 percent that think congress is doing an excellent job, but they have had too much Kool-aid, too much entitlement, and too much time to lie around thinking about their own lack of ambition. The 14 percent that believe in the way this country is being run are probably among the percentage of people who still wait by the chimney at Christmas for Santa to slide down and give them gifts-say a car, big screen television set, and a bank account with unlimited funds. Come to think of it, do they ask congressmen and women what they think while running these polls? Maybe the 14 percent are in the process of running their own campaigns to become representatives and congressional personnel.

Who wouldn’t want a job that allows you to sit around all day making up laws that other people have to abide by while you are exempt, spending other people’s money hand-over-foot, and living pretty much at the expense of the employer whose wishes you ignore while doing as you please? It’s the ideal job for the lazy, stupid, and mean-hearted of the nation. All of this adds up to the reason that we should not elect officials that have not worked manually and with the public for at least 10-years before they can even run for office, much less serve as a congressman or representative. The flaws in our laws that allow men who would otherwise lack employment to dictate how we serve our years on earth, are the ones that require the public official only to be of a certain age and have been a resident of a state or county for x-amount of years…it says nothing about the primary request that the average American worker must have in order to obtain a job. “No skill set, you’re perfect to become a congressman,” instead of “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”

If you applied to a bank for a job that would place you in charge of other people’s funds, do you think that a work history that showed no skills or experience in the banking community/business would gain you employment with that bank? No, but we do it all the time with men whose only experience is that of having studied politics in college. As my grandmother was fond of saying, “I would like to be a rich man’s poodle dog, done up with it’s poodlin, but I have no experience as a poodle.”

The next time you go to the polls to vote, ask not what party affiliation your candidate of choice holds, but what his experience is, how does he run his own household, does he have a history of making promises that he cannot keep or has no intentions of keeping, and is this man a person that you would want to keep company with in your own home? These questions are relevant to the way the man will choose, and make choices about your future while serving (if they ever remember they are our employees) in a public office. If the man you choose is one step lower than your dog, it’s a sign that he will take a dump and fail to clean it up.
