Stephen Moore wrote in the Wall Street Journal, April 1, 2011 a no fools article:
"If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government."




We have inverted the Tea Cup.  Instead of having a tea party to challenge governmental abuse, the government is having a tea party at our expense.


The problem is not about any issue or program, any party or priority, the problem is a system that supports its own existence exists to the detriment of the system.  the system that encourages increase based on competition and greed is s system that polarizes a nation and the people of that nation.  


Profit driven economies nurture a system that uses competition and conflict to propel progress which creates a polarized population that paralyzes progress.  People driven economies nurture a system that maintains and promotes compassion and cooperation that produce parallel profits.


Government is to be of the people, for the people, and by the people.  Government is never intended to make the people who serve richer and the people they serve poorer.  


What can we do to invert the system so change can take place and the people serve and be served.
