Persistent Inheritance

Will the world ever run out of ideals to force on others? It doesn’t look like it will ever end with all the free time some people have. It seems the only way to get a law passed is to spend countless hours lobbying or spending lots of money for campaign donations. Since most Americans don’t have the time or money for lobbying, we end up bound by laws that we don’t agree with. Even in our so called free society we are forced to conform to the will of leadership. Sure we have the right to vote for the people running for office but why don’t we have the power to vote on all the issues. It’s almost impossible to find a candidate that you can agree with on all the issues. Even when you vote for someone, there is no guarantee they will vote the way they said they would. Since the people you vote for make the laws, misleading voters will never be against the law. If you made the law would you make something you do illegal?

Changes need to be made, but seem very unlikely to ever surface. A lot has changed since our government was constructed, yet are government has barely shifted since it was formed. There wasn’t anything even close to the internet back then. Do you think our government would be anything close to what it is now, if the internet was around back then? The technology to put the vote on every issue into the people’s hands has been around for a while now but has never illuminated through the red tape produced by our system. Letting citizen’s vote on all the individual issues would free up the politicians time to do what they were meant to do. What’s that you ask? That would be to put the laws we have chosen on paper.

Voting on issues should be a daily or weekly right for every single American. Only then will our government truly be run by the people. My vote would really count. Some smaller forms of government do let their residents vote on certain issues. Are we destined to have someone do our voting for us forever? I would like to think that someday things will change but I don’t see a solution any time soon. Until then I guess we will conform to the system that was handed down to us.
