Question

Why are we the people not doing anything about our crooked goverment?

Answer 1

It would require everyone or at least 90-95% of the population under our government to unite and take a stand.   The thing is, all 90% of us can recognize our government is corrupt or crooked yet we will not do anything about it.

I forget what the word is called but everyone would need to realize that if we all band together we can get something done.   However, that will most likely never ever happen due to the fact that the governement already has such a firm hold on the human population.

Answer 2

That is what elections are for.

Answer 3

It takes one or more of three things to happen in order for revolution to happen.

#1 Lack of shelter

#2 Lack of food

#3 Lack of safety

Our forefathers, a small band of revolutionaries created #3 by attacking the Brits and they in turned attacked them and our people. A small band of men started, what many people saw no reason to start, a revolution. Most people were content with British rule. But when the Brits went crazy trying to control things is when the people turned on them.

How free are we today?

Depends on what one considers free.

Free from high taxes? No

Free from an overly paranoid government? No

Free from security camera's and Ninja cops? No

Free from your information on 100,00,000 computer systems? No

Free from worries about heath care? No

Free from high fees for needed services? No

Free from tax cuts that are really tax shafts by shifting that to higher fees and fines? No

Free from high fees for higher education? No

Free from worry about your retirement? No

Free from worry about ending up in poverty after you've worked your whole life? No

Free from high regulations, fees, and taxes when owning your own business? No

Free from the prying eyes of the government on your income and sources? No

Free from having to sign a declaration of your income every year, under the threat of being imprisoned? No

Free from the government telling you what you can do to your body as long as you don't hurt anyone other then yourself? No

The freedom to know the press, who has the constitutional duty and authority to report on our government, doing it accurately? No

Free to be able to speak out to our government? Yes

Yet most people don't give a rats azzzz about the last freedom.

The problem is, there is simply no cause, under the three reasons I gave in the beginning, to start a revolution. Historically, it simply will not happen.

Germany is living proof of that, that is, till it was too late.

Answer 4

We probably would be if Hillary would just stop her BS and c**p. She is pathetic and the Clintons have destroyed this years election by their garbage politics and false accusations towards other candidates.. Maybe then we could get down to the real issues but the problem is Hillary can't win on the issues so she keeps the garbage upfront.

Answer 5

Because every election year, they promise to "not be crooked" and to "get rid of corruption". Voters are very naive,  and they will buy this year after year. Voting for the same Representatives and Senators, and then complain "there is so much corruption in government".

Here is the answer: STOP VOTING FOR THEM!!

Answer 6

A majority of Americans are more worried about the next episode of American Idle than they are the current presidential elections. We must care about our government and politics before we can even realize how far off the government actually is from the Constitution.

Answer 7

A third of the population doesn't even admit the administration is corrupt!  But I think the main reason we can't do anything about it is that "government" covers such a wide range of people and activities that it's difficult to focus on just one point.

Answer 8

I know you're probably American, but that question could have come from any country in the world.
