sad, sad state of affairs

I'm absolutely overwhelmed, and, appalled , i might add, by the fact the people of these united states have allowed governmental entities to get so out of control.

we live under conditions now where the government(s)can do most anything they wish with immunity; we have allowed them to run amuck...unchecked...unfettered...uncontrolled...runaway.

this fact has recently been brought to light by the act of one man flying his airplane into an IRS office center. where i certainly do not condone what he did, i understand it.

our culture has taught us to "get an education, work hard, save, invest wisely in your time and money"...

we as individuals have little, if any, control of the economies we are subjected to, but...if those economies go bad, we are adversely and directly affected by them; like it or not.

when things go bad for the individual, they go bad for all the entities we are subject to...then, without exception, those entities turn viscous against their own constituents.

in California's case, they retaliate by increasing, at unreasonable rates, automobile registrations, as one example.

how soon the people forget! a governor of the state of California was recalled and removed from office for doing the very same thing just a few short years ago! now the same legislature takes punitive action against the taxpayers for what they, the legislature, have allowed, and caused, to happen economically, here in California. now, they demand we "pony up" for their incredible irresponsibility.

we now live under a bureaucracy that will not hesitate to persecute citizens that are not able to "pony up" due to uncontrolled circumstances created by the very bureaucracy that created the crisis in the first place.

you'll notice i said "persecute"? i use that term simply because what is done under "the law" is not fair and just, or moral, in most cases...especially in most case law.

why should an entity have the right to take away something a person has worked for and paid in full for because they are no longer able to pay a tax or fee?

we need CHANGE...we're getting change...but i doubt the American people are going to like the "change" we are now getting, very soon.
