Term-limit Troubles
Term limits continue to come up in political discussions and have good points pro and con. But limiting time in political office to force compliance to the Constitution is like taping up your shirt sleeve to stop your arm from bleeding. We would still have the vast government bureaucracies to contend with, which endure long after the elections, as witnessed by the passage of the ACA and the congressional workers exempting themselves from this plan because they had crafted a better one for themselves. They were serving themselves and exploiting the citizens.
Government workers refusing to honor “citizen sovereignty” is the main issue facing our Republic. On July 4, 1776, our Founders declared the citizens of the U.S. as the sovereigns of the country and the government as the servant — a first since the early stages of the Roman Empire. All other nations in this world have government sovereignty and the citizens as subjects, with different levels of socialism all the way up to totalitarianism. This and only this is what makes America politically different. You either have citizen sovereignty or government sovereignty; there are no half measures.
What has a switch to “government sovereignty” in this country meant? The American private sector income has flatlined at about $56,000 per year for the past 15 years while government workers have enjoyed annual raises and pension increases.
