You don’t have to live like a slave. People talked that same nonsense when Clinton was in power. We live in a republic and luckily not a parliamentary system. Things go slowly. Have you ever been elected and tried to reform government? No. It’s not easy.

Understand that for every government program and dollar spent there’s a recipient that will pay dearly to keep that cash flow coming. Why can’t we get rid of the sugar tariff?

Think instead about a blocker. That’s what is being done right now. Bill after bill that Obama and the Dems want passed never move forward, even an inch. On the state level we control full majorities covering nearly half the population of the country. Things are happening there that are making a big deal. Federalism works.

So far here are things that the current GOP Congress has done. Here is a partial list of items Mr. Obama has requested from Congress since the GOP took the House back in 2010:

— The American Jobs Act
— The Paycheck Fairness Act
— An increase in the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour
— An array of gun control measures
— Universal pre-kindergarten education
— A week’s paid sick leave for all
— Higher tax rates on the rich
— A new minimum tax on multinational companies
— Overhaul and expansion of unemployment benefits

It always could be worse. Remember that nearly every article posted to FR comes from the MSM who, as the Democratic/Socialist mouth piece of America, know how to push buttons via headlines, anonymous sources and out right disinformation. Stay on target, elect a GOP POTUS and keep winning for a generation. It’s a long game to get our country back.
