Running A Country Like Ours Is No Walk In The Park.

       Just how hard is it to run a country like America anyway? It's plenty hard and it's even harder for a bunch of Congressmen and Senators who belong to one or the other of two parties. For instance, up until January, Democrats held a majority in the Senate while the Republicans held a majority in the House of Representatives. Neither party could get anything done. So a small portion of the electorate (the people) decided to vote last November, and it was decided that the Republicans should have the opportunity to hold a majority in both houses.
       That should surely have provided the ability for the Republicans to lead. Unfortunately they continued to use the same strategy of voting to defund and abolish anything the other party had accomplished, even though there was no possibility of success. Meanwhile the Democrats have taken to the tactics of the previously minority party, the Republicans, by blocking any legislation the, now majority party, the Republicans attempt.
       So you can see how hard it is to run a country with two parties. Last year Senate Democrats complained about the unreasonable Republicans, now the Senate Republicans complain about the unreasonable Democrats. Last year the Republicans complained that even though they were in the minority in the Senate, they were elected to stop Obama's initiatives. This year the Senate Democrats point out that they were elected to be thorns in the sides of the Republicans.
       So ya see how hard it is to run a country like America. Well, you're wrong. Its easy to run America. All ya have to do is be a group of corporate CEOs and a few hugely wealthy guys willing to spend some big time dollars to convince members of both parties to disagree on everything except a few minor tax breaks for themselves and their companies. That and relax some regulations. In return for these minor adjustments to tax and regulatory rules, members of both parties can accept campaign donations sufficient to keep them in office until they're too old to get out of bed. So ya see, it's a snap to run things if ya know how.
