Our government no longer represents the people. It is not of the people, for the people, nor by the people.
I'd say it differently.
Our government no longer represents all of the people. It represents roughly half of the people who are takers--dependendency nation; as well as a sliver of wealthy leftwing zealots who wish to impose their social vision while the producers are harnessed to pay for it. Note that this sliver is not all of the mythical 1%.
Completely forgotten are the Founding Fathers' admonitions to "Leave the people alone" as much as possible.
