Time to tear it all down and build it up again with the constitution as the foundation.

Please elaborate.

Full evisceration of Federal Government, removal of all positions in Gov. Get rid of EVERYTHING but the BARE necessities, fund the military, defense, and borders.

Then leave everything else up to individual states.

Make lobbying illegal. All sessions of congress taped and overseen by an independent committee. All officials supervised and monitored so they aren’t making back room deals. Impose term limits, lower the pay to executive/judicial/legislative jobs to something ONLY people that care would choose to gather.

Make being in government NON PROFITABLE and you remove most of our problems. Seriously, it’s all about the money and the power.

What do you do with a banana that has a few bruises on it? You cut the bruises off and eat the rest.

What do you do with a banana that is completely rotten that none of it can be eaten? You throw it out and get a new one.

I believe that the government has become so rotten, that we cannot fix it. We need to hit the reset button and make a new one, with the constitution as a starting foundation, but not encourage corruption(which comes from power and the accumulation of wealth).

You take the money and power away from government employees you take away a lot of the problems we have with our elected officials....we don’t serve them, they serve us. This further reinforces these beliefs. It has come to the point where the people are serving the government, it’s not what was intended, and it is our duty to right the wrongs.

Now I’m not saying everyone is corrupt, but I would bet my last dollar that more are, than honest.
