Government wastes for average Americans.

    Americans are creating a disaster that will cause this country to fail.  What is it?  Ignorance!  Why is it happening?  Apathy and indifference!  How do we fix it?  Education.

    Ignorance is not a curse.  It does not mean you are an idiot.  The average American will want to punch you in the face if you call them ignorant.  Ignorance is the lack of knowledge about a certain subject.  We (meaning every single person alive) are all ignorant in many ways and we have to do our best to cure ourselves of this problem.

    Bear in mind, when I say the average American, I mean the greater majority of Americans who go out there every day and work to support their families, not the silver-spoon babies who do not worry about where their next paycheck is going.

    The average American will not buy a newspaper, much less read it.  The average American will not buy a book.  The average American gets all, if any of their news and information from only one source; the nightly news.  All we have to do is look at all of the ratings for these television and radio news programs, add with it the circulations of all the newspapers in America, and you will soon figure out that the vast majority of Americans do not get ANY news from ANY source.

    As you can see, there is a reason our wonderful politicians get away with robbery when it comes to spending our money.  They get away with it because the greater majority of us never hear about it.  We just keep chugging along in our daily lives.  We go to work.  We come home.  We try to enjoy our families.  We try to enjoy life, not bothering with the nonsense happening every day in Washington D.C..  The average American does not fully understand the severity and impact government wastes have on each and every American in the United States.  Every penny being wasted comes out of the taxpayer’s pockets.  I do not know about you, but I do not have money to throw away.

    The average American thinks it is just fine for the government to tax businesses and corporations because they think the government is taxing the rich.  The average American thinks it is wonderful that businesses and corporations lose in enormous lawsuits.  No one has told everyone in America that each and every dime taken away from a business or corporation will result in increased prices of goods and services.  These actions basically cause every dime in taxes and lawsuits levied on businesses to come out of the pockets of us ignorant Americans that do not know better.

    What can we do?  We have to educate the average Americans about what is happening in Congress and with our politicians.  How can we do it?  We need someone with a few friends to come up with a FREE newspaper or newsletter that can be viewed by every single person in America.  A FREE newspaper with no partisan politics, just the truth about how politicians are wasting our money and making decisions that the average American would think are idiotic.  How do we get this paper to every American economically?  We use the greatest distribution network in the World.  We get Wal-Mart to distribute the newspaper to their stores for free in exchange for free advertising in the newspaper.  The average American does go to Wal-Mart.  Why advertising, you ask?  The newspaper would have to be highly funded.  With such a litigious society as ours, thousands of fraudulent lawsuits would result after the truth gets out about all of the fraud and robbery being perpetrated on us by our wonderful politicians.  It would also take a great deal of money to print 200 million newspapers or more every time it gets distributed.

    As you can see, I have just offered up a great idea to anyone willing to take it to task.  Advertising would sell out instantly if priced correctly.  Where else in advertising could a company get exposure to that many people?  Nowhere.  I believe the idea would work; it would just take some open-minded people to get it started.
           
    You may be asking yourself, why would anyone waste their time with this?  The result of getting the truth of government wastes exposed is that we would actually be able to get the information to the people that can repair the situation; the voters.  Information to the vast majority of voters that do not get ANY news could actually start a grass-roots movement to throw these wasteful politicians out of office.  Ignorant voters blindly keep voting these wasteful pork and barrel politicians into office.

    We can fix government wastes if we start at the bottom.  Get the information to the voters and you will soon see an uprising to change America for the better.  Can you think of a better idea?  If so, try it.  We cannot continue being ignorant.  We cannot allow this waste to continue and expect America to continue being the greatest economic power in the World.
