Sorry, no where in the US Constitution does it mention "improving life here".

Answer 6

The first priority is to their people to protect them from outside threats as well as one another.  This includes protecting the person at the bottom of the income levels to give him a chance to earn and save to open his own business as well as own property and to experience the American dream of obtaining wealth.  This is getting harder with large corporations and insurance companies with expensive HMOs.  Free Enterprise is the true beginning of the free hand of the market system.  If you can't be left to get a break to save money because of greed in higher income brackets, you cannot start a business because you cannot save money or invest.  This allows big business to own the market place and price you out of the American dream of owning a business without grants.  Many grants are open for affirmative action and immigrants, but not many for the everyday Joe.  In this way, the government's priority is to also protect the freedom of the american dream with anti-monopoly laws etc including helping the lower class to succeed since many important people giving great contributions have started there.

Answer 7

To send poor people's taxes to big business.

Answer 8

We've been sending so many Billions overseas to feed the hungry that there's none left over to feed our hungry.  You're right though, if you work here you should be doing ok

Answer 9

The primary priority of the government of The United States is to protect the best intrests of the elite who hold the power in this country. The corporate leaders, the investment bankers the board of directors....thier intrests...not your's and mine nor the general public's are the priority.

We have all been conned.........our government is not ours, it's in the hands of those with enough cash to buy the votes, to gain the leverage and to secure the position of, and protect the intrests of, those who are in need the least...the rich. Government, and politics in general is nothing more then an interaction among groups of investors who compete for the control of the country....and the world as a whole. They (those in power) care very little about anything other then profit. Education, social programs, aid to children of "minor mothers" or those on welfare, health care....you gotta be kidding!

Oh, and please...please do not be fooled in believing that it was ever any different. It wasn't!  All those guys with the powdered wigs were in it for themselves as well. John Jay himself said that "the country should be run by those that own the country"....This was one of our "founding fathers"....and he was not alone in believing this, as a matter of fact THEY ALL BELIEVED IT!!!  Why do you think you had to be a white, property owning male to vote for all those "lofty men of virtue" in the past?  This country NEVER was for the poor...NEVER! It would take nothing less then massive social change to make anything different.

Answer 10

Politicians think that first and only priority is to get reelected.  The founders of this country would start another revolution if they returned from the grave.

Answer 11

Thank you for some intellegence on this otherwize ignorant board.

The price of admission into a civilized society is to pay taxes.  What you receive in return for those taxes is up to us to demand.

Since when has anyone you know been afraid of their EMPLOYEES?

We are the bosses of the government, and until we fire those who aren't doing their jobs, we are letting them step all over us.  We are showing fear of our government and not the other in reverse.

Would France tolerate what we are tolerating?

The first priority of the government is to follow the laws set up by our forefathers but also to realize that a country with this many people will of course need to add to and subtract some of those laws from the original documents-but certainly not the ones that demand protection of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA---NOT THE PRESIDENT OR THE CONGRESS OF THE USA.  It is to uphold and defend the CONSTITUTION.  That is the oath taken and forgotten by all those in the current Bush Crime Family and by many in the Democratically controlled congress as well.

Nancy Pelosi-I could kick your *** for this sentence: "impeachment is off the table."  What a disgrace to her gender, her country, her role in the congress and to her constituents.  Harry Reid is no better.

As a life long Democrat-the current group allowing this criminal regime to get away with the largest heist in all of history in any country, in any manner--sickens me to the core.

Answer 12

The Federal government's role is to protect it's citizens from external threats. Anything other than that has been added later.

Answer 13

Israel, and middle eastern oil.  In that order.

Answer 14

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!
