I haven't been too keen on the election and don't really like what we have to choose from this time but I have to tell you this is a really eye opening article. Pretty interesting. Doesn't sway you to one candidate or the other (so I am not pushing anyone or sharing my political beliefs...I just thought it was interesting how he worded this and what he said, never mentioning anyone's names or anything.)

This is an article written by Charlie Reese, a former columnist for the
Orlando Sentinel Newspaper. Very interesting perspective on the state of
our Nation!
545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then
campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are
against deficits, we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and
high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one pre sident, and nine Supreme
Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly,
legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems
that plague this country.
