Now with that being said what should we all do? I suggest we all write our legislators at the county, city, state, and federal level requesting that they delete all the long-sharking and pimping legislations which allow businesses and corporations to extort our hard earned income away from us before and after we get our pay checks. This extortion is in the name of taxes and fees and service charges that are added on to our total payment of services. As a citizen in America, I reject the fact that the public servants we vote into public office to represent us, the tax payers; decide once they are in office they can choose to represent only corporate America. As I see our legislators giving to the lobbyist that gives to them I hear My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ saying in Luke 6 v 39 “Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch?” America we are now a nation in a ditch, because our representative accepts money and favors from lobbyists. The word I would use to describe their behavior is “Treason.” According to the dictionary treason means: The betrayal of a trust. The reason I say betrayal of a trust is because we the American citizen send our elected representatives into office to first honor their oath to protect the Constitution of the United States and The Bill of Rights. However, when they get into office they honor and protect their ability to legislate in favor of the lobbyists, “NOT” “We the People of the United /States, in Order to form a more Perfect Union establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Instead they pass legislation like NAFTA and GAT. These two pieces of legislation alone opened up the gates for business to set up businesses overseas and allow them to take jobs away from the American citizens. Thereby, taking away the American citizens ability to have domestic tranquility. You see, overseas the wages are very small compared to the United States. Then our legislators refuse to raise minimum wages. So the betrayal of trust is why I chose to charge our representatives with “treason.”
