One of the funniest things about presidential campaigns is how so many candidates get up there and talk about what they're going to do the impact my daily life.
I don't think that candidates like the understand that the president doesn't impact my daily life very directly. Yes, the president can propose things and implement different things that will change things around me things that I can and cannot do. But to overreach and directly tell me you know this is what you're doing today is not the president's function.
I am free. Yes, it is within certain boundaries and yes, I cannot just go out and do anything that I want. But the president does not rule me. The president represents our country. He also leads our country's efforts to do certain things. But he or she eventually does not rule me.
As an American I bristle every time I hear somebody talk about how they're going to make someone so do something or I promise that I will do this or that for you Mr. individual in the crowd. As an American I understand that that responsibility is mine, not theirs. If I want it all make it happen. I could use help, I could use the setting and laws and structures to help me get there, but otherwise stay out of my way. In fact, one of the best things that a president can do is help get things out of my way.
I think that's what all Americans should want. And it's sad to watch so many Americans fall into the trap of servitude by relying on the gifts of taxpayers to survive.
God bless America!
