America Needs a Mercy Flush

I'm not sure when this happened or how, but I'm going to look into it further. So America started in all it's glory with a bunch of religious exiles looking for new hope and freedom and turned into a country where the wealthy and productive made the decisions for the rest. We can argue about the validity of that as well as the ethical portions later. Then in and undetermined amount of time later the unproductive and non-movers started to gain power. Then mediocrity gained a toe hold and now fame. Now in schools kids don't get medals and trophies for winning, no everyone gets one regardless of how they did. All of the sudden it is a phrase that everyone loves, "everyone is special". Which translates to no one is. Schools are taught to the C student, not the A.

And here is the tie in, politicians don't take care of the people keeping the country and their campaigns afloat but to the mediocrity of the American public. That is what makes it ok for Obama to say what he did. Because the failing deserve their chance, regardless of what it does to the masses and the people who were innovative enough to makes things work in a system that ties their hands behind their back.

This is why I have to choke back bile every time I listen to debates and read about what politicians are trying to pull.

So some of you may be wondering do I think our business leaders should be running the world, maybe I do, and maybe not I am not sure. I think that the problem can be in two areas either government or people are innately flawed, or maybe we should just stop catering to the ones and governments who are (see Mexico in my last post, or see 90% of the American public).
