American citizens have been trained to expect too little from our government. The resources of this country - the best in health care, education & economic opportunity - should belong to its citizens. That's what we pay taxes for and that's what we should expect.

I like you, @marwilliamson, but if these things belong to the citizens, aren't they best kept in the hands & control of the citizens, not the government?

The govt appropriates where our tax money goes. What doesn’t go to citizens now goes - very disproportionately - to huge multinational corporations. That’s not putting money back in the hands of the people!

We need to stop saying democrats or republicans and start using the word government. When we have a problem we tell government to fix it

The American population has grown to expect little positive from our government, because of feckless and corrupt politicians ... party not a significant predictor of anything.

Infighting has reduced our government to right vs left while nothing gets done. Humans have basic needs. In order to compete in the world we should be provided w all of these things. Instead, all of the energy is spent posturing and distracting from these issues.
