Not Politically Correct

Traveling is in my blood, so I've been many places. Every time I came through customs coming back into the US, I would get tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Why? Because the Customers Officer always said "Welcome Home!" with a big smile and it left me with a tremendous sense of awe, gratitude and pleasure.
But things have changed and now the Fourth of July is a time of mourning for me. You see, my country, my beloved country has been lost. I still believe in the Constitution and that all men are created equal and that we have to right to pursue our lives unencumbered by the government. I believe in the Bill of Rights. I believe the government should serve the people (hence the term "public service") not control us. We created the wealthiest, most creative, diverse culture in the world based on those principles.
Our country was born as a result of the overbearing, overtaxing, controlling government of King George. My forefathers died to give the world a model government that we could look up to. And look at where we are now. What a mess!

Apparently meddling in the lives of our own citizens isn't enough for this travesty of a government, because we have to interfere in over 100 other countries as well. We manipulate in secret to control the world. Everyone hates us and wants to destroy us because of it. We are no longer a model, a paragon of virtue, but rather a laughingstock around the world.
Nor are we wealthy. Over 40 million people work for the government in one way or another (including subcontractors). And some 47% of our population is dependent on the government for some sort of subsidy. Government does not produce wealth, people do. So those that are producing are supporting this entire group, a group which is exploding with the recent influx of immigrants across our southern borders. This makes all of us poorer, except of course the infamous 1%.
Rather than serving the public, our government has devolved into a massive mafia working in secret collusion with the banks to enrich themselves and destroy the American Dream.
And now this brings tears to my eyes.
