Politics

Let me just say one thing right off the bat. I don’t care for politics. I don’t care for most politicians. Even so, I’ve decided to rant about politics. Why? Why not? It’s my blog. You don’t like what I rant about, tough cookies!

Well, with that said, off we go to la-la land. You may think otherwise, but it’s my opinion that a majority of politicians–especially the politically elite–not only have no clue what an “average” person wants and needs, but doesn’t care. It’s their job to make laws. A job that at the upper levels gives them a huge salary, and unreal benefits. In the case of U.S. senators and representatives, they even get to set their own salaries! Wow.

But here’s the thing. The Thing that politicians do NOT want you, the public, to know…

We don’t need them.

Here, let me bold that.

We don’t need them.

That’s right. Contrary to what politicians these days tell you, we don’t actually NEED them, they need US. It’s quite possible for us to go on with our lives without politicians. What? You think we do? Well, let’s take a look.

We need a politician to adjudicate disputes? No, they don’t do that. We hire and elect judges for that.

We need politicians to run the day-to-day business of government? No, a bureaucracy is a beautiful thing. Most day-to-day operations are run by secretaries and assistants, who normally know much more about what’s going on than the politician.

We need a politician to make laws, their main job? No, we have plenty of laws on the books right now. We could definitely do WITHOUT new laws for a couple of years or more.

We need politicians to tell us what to do? Is that what you REALLY think? That these people have the knowledge and wisdom to tell you how to live your life? Please, you’re much more intelligent than that. These people don’t know jack. I say we get rid of them.
