Threatend

Here I go again, another rant so hold on and lend me your ear.
Please ask yourself this question. Do I feel threatened by my government? In what way you ask. In any way. I feel personally threatened in many ways. If I don’t do the things the government demands of me they will make me pay the direst consequences. This includes everything they demand. I do not have the right to refuse the governments demands. I can’t just say no. If a fellow American walks up to me and demands 30% of the money in my pocket, I dial 911 and he is on his way to the local jailhouse. But when the government does it, some how this is ok. They threaten me with incarceration, fines or whatever it feels is adequate for my indecisions. How dare I not do what I am told? Does anyone see anything wrong here? They are supposed to follow our demands not the other way around. What has happened to us? Have we become SLAVES willing to accept whatever our MASTERS bid us? Freedom has become skewed in ways that can’t be explained. Please understand, I do not want anarchy by any means and would not condone any behavior like that. But I can certainly say something needs to happen to reverse some of the damage. I feel that something is article 10 of our constitution. The rules we live by to control the anarchy should be derived by our peers at a state level. Not a central goverment making rules for all. Our founding father put this in the constitution to assure our freedoms would not be threatened by a power larger than it’s people. That ways of life and cultures would not be pushed upon others. That freedom would be preserved. That’s the beauty our great country The United States of America. There are 50 different states, providing 50 different cultures and societies. Granted we are not nearly as localized as our forefathers but we are still different. Someone that chooses to live in New York is defiantly different from someone that lives in Montana. Neither better than the other, but different. Different is still okay, I think. I live in Colorado and don’t want the people of Florida deciding on laws that regulate my life and I am pretty sure they don’t want us deciding theirs. I truly believe that the solution is what was meant in the beginning, The United States of America. Not the government of the United States of America and the states it controls. That’s why I know the solution is that the federal government needs to be taken control of by utilizing the vote and put the authority of our laws and our ways of life back in the states hands where it was meant to be and still should be. I encourage every American read the 10th amendment of the constitution and give it thought every time you walk into the voting booth. God bless The United States of America and Colorado my home. Vote the X!
