America's Freedom
Today marks the 233rd birthday of the United States of America.
For all it's triumphs and faults, greatness and vulnerabilities, the country remains united and free.
Alas to a certain degree in my opinion. Whilst citizens subscribe to the ideal of a "a government by the people, of the people, and for the people" as an outsider I cannot help but observe the reckless surrendering of freedoms by the actions of government.
Whilst any government, of any nation, seeks to control the commerce of a country, and the will of the people, by actions contrary to these aims, then the people of that country surely must find themselves enslaved by the very government that seeks to free them.
America was founded from a war for it's independence, to free it's people of the enslavement of taxes without representation.
Yet today a government endowed with idealistic visions, of it's America, rather than that of Americans, seeks to centralise and control the affairs of the nation. Surely this must by these actions be a return to the past and the surrendering of freedom from within.
Trillions of dollars are being spent to buy back companies and bail out fraudsters in the interests of national economic security. However, national security is indeed under threat when the country finds itself further indentured to such debt.
I'm sure this is a widely held view in America. A view held by so many who's voice was drowned out by the events of last November when a new generation of voters, unaware of consequences, voted a government in who supported such centralist policies.
