Let's clamor for good government.

Government ain't necessarily bad. In fact, government can be darn good. That is, if it serves the common good. But too often it serves special interests. The powerful people. With money. Lots of money. Selfish people. Capitalists. Out to make money/profits for themselves. Rather than serving the common good. An example of serving the common good would be to narrow the gap between the rich and poor. To provide services that benefit society as a whole. Such as socialized medicine and public education. The problem with government in the USA is that it's being misused. Especially by conservative Republicans. Because it's being designed to stock the coffers of the rich. At the expense of the relatively poor and middle class. Comes down to robbing the poor to feed the rich. A policy that's obscene and immoral. To offset that, we need more socialism. More programs that address human dignity. Yes, the serving of the common good. Republicans will argue that capitalism serves the common good. That's true to a degree. If it's carefully regulated. And blended with democratic socialism. So, let's get to it folks. Let's start clamoring for more government. Rather than less government. But let's make it good government. --Jim Broede
