I thought this country was founded on democracy? Andd we had individual freedom? Are people becoming so apathetic that they rely on the government into controling their lives and babysitting their children? Then it’s time for change. A revolution? Time to rid our government of politicians and lobbyists. Time for them to get real jobs with real purpose.
