A system created to keep the people in order and processed to move forward; Government. Unfortunately, the system has taken its turn to a form of hypnotism. The government gains its power and ability to hypnotize due to Americans depending on them to perform high expectations and complete each task that is asked upon. The fault in Americans depending on government is not a one-party tango however, but it is on both parts; politicians promise things that they cannot fulfill and Americans embrace the first Amendment of the Constitution, “Freedom of Speech”, with their mouths, but not with enough physical action.
Through the processes of campaigning, whether it be potential Presidents, Senators, Congress, etc., there is only one motive; tell the people what they want to here. Americans are too wrapped up in the words of politicians to realize the facts that some of their words cannot be true, but of course, they have no choice. Since the system of Government was founded, promises have been made to higher the casting of votes, some of which have been fulfilled, others have not. However, Politicians fail to compromise that power is beyond their own self, trying to make things possible that is beyond their power.
Under the Powers of Separation and Checks and Balances, it is unrealistic for one party to hold the upmost power of the most powerful nation/country in the world. During Barack Obama campaigning and Presidency, he pushed the repealing DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), making a promise to same-sex couples to be married and receive the same benefits and federal rights as heterosexual couples. Under the power of God, the comparison is not biological. Religious or not, the comparison is not ethical, therefore, ruled out. There are some things that cannot not undergo. The government is ruled by people, whether it is “The People” or just human beings. If congress doesn’t want something to pass, it will not. If the people don’t want something to pass, it will not.
Ultimately, Americans feed off the Governments untraceable words.
Americans are lazy and the Government helps them get lazier. “Freedom of Speech” was a developed concept made to embrace Americans independence, a concept that is seemed to be too dangerous to respond to. Americans fail to realize that they are the power of the government, the initial and hidden reason of the Government existing is answer to the country and its needs; the people make up the country.
Over the course of three (and more) centuries, Americans reached out to have their voices heard; riots, boycotts, rebellion, etc., unfortunately, as the years went on, the urge to have their voices being heard decreased; more mouth, less action. Today, Americans are literally living off of the government, telling themselves that they are getting over, but the government is actually getting over on Americans. Nothing in America is free, it was stated a long time ago, and it is true. People of America don’t have a clue on what is going on due to the Government dumbing them down to what they want them to believe. Wars have broken out because of people trying to overthrow the government; Americans have that power, but refuse to embrace it.
Day after day, Americans complain on what the government doing and what it is not doing, never receiving the feeling of satisfaction because it does not exist.
The American Dream is just what it says, a dream. American depend on this imaginary statement to fulfill the reality that there are living in. If it wasn’t stressed enough before, here it is again: Americans are lazy! Not only do they depend on the Government to hear them when they talk (which is supposed to be the initial logic for America), but they want them to read their minds when they don’t talk. People fail to realize that they hold the power to control government and what happens in our nation, instead, they sit back and watch as they fall into destruction while they anticipate for “reformation.”
Americans hold unrealistically high expectations of government and its ability to institute reform because there are too lazy and dumb-founded to understand what he government is actually doing, and that politicians promise things to them that they cannot fulfill. The American Dream only exists Americans won’t wake up from it and tend to reality… and the Govenrment.
