Some day we may realize that the intelligence of our political leaders is sorely lacking in common sense. These folks spend our tax dollars on laborious solutions to simple problems and issuing sound bites that serve only to enhance their profiles in the media. While some legislators (possibly) genuinely want to do the job they were elected to do and the rest just want to stay in office and cash in. We have Governors whose are slapping their constituents around because the other party gets more votes from that segment ( I wonder why?). This has nothing to do with doing the job at hand. Another Governor raised sales taxes and is looking to cut educational spending by consolidating school districts (down to 135) while the other option is simply to make each county (101 of them) a school district. It does not take a rocket scientist to correct problems if the politicians stop looking to enhance their legacy and strengthen their voting base. These people have been elected
to manage the states they live in and have failed time and time again while we the voters have believed them to be honest (shame on us). The remarkable thing is that they use our fears and biases to distract us while mouthing honesty and truth, for example: Birth Place and religion. I personally believe there should be open season on all elected officials in the voting booth. The American voters have endured enough and we should be smart enough to see through the smoke and mirrors of politics.
