It's Your Government

 We have a 4 party system here in the US of A...

• Democrats
• Republicans
• Independents
• Socialists

Our two major parties are:

• Democrats
• Republicans

Democrats basically believe in the following:

1. More government control
2. Social Welfare and other programs
3. Higher Taxes (especially the wealthy)
4. Weak Military

Republicans basically believe in the opposite:

1. Less government control
2. Less social welfare
3. Lower taxes
4. Strong Military

The Independents usually like a little bit of both sides and typically vote for the candidate not the party

The Socialists want everything controlled and regulated by the government so there is really no private ownership of anything...  It all belongs to the people

There is a movement in the Democratic party called the Progressive movement and their political philosophy is closer to socialism than it is toward a Democratic Republic which is what we have now.

Most socialistic countries FAIL economically but there are some that have survived and their residents are blessed with a lot of free programs but they have very weak militaries and national security...  usually if there is a conflict somewhere in the world, they remain NEUTRAL in the hopes that no country will invade them and take them over.

It is hard to believe that this might happen to the US of A...  but, anything and everything is possible...

Just as soon as the US Congress passes a bill for FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION...  advanced education will no longer be important because AI/Robots are going to replace most jobs.  College education has been so watered down so that stupid people can receive college degrees that employers will stop trusting the benefits of college...   OR, they will hire graduates who got their education outside of the US of A.  

There are some damn fine schools outside of the US of A like IIT in India which some say offers a better education than our MIT...

You must decide for yourself which way you think that the US of A should be heading, rather than look at how much your government can give to you.  The more you think our government should give to its citizens, the weaker our country becomes...  But, if you do not believe that, then you should try and get your government to give you as much as it can...
