Corruption in our Country

Our country fought for freedom. We fought many a battle, but now you say, "Have we really any freedom?" Why did the people of our country fight if you were going to slowly take those freedoms away again. Our founding fathers wanted nothing to do with kings and queens that sit on pedestals and think of themselves as above the law. If this was wrong then, then why would it be okay now? Why would it be okay for citizens of the same country, our country, to be treated with a different amount of respect and responsibility. Not all people are treated equally and not everyone has the same rights. The laws we have formed are not being followed in the way they were intended. All people do is try to find a way around them. If we say we have such strong ideals, then why are we disappointed with seemingly every leader that we have? Why has no one tried to fix this problem? We are a country of a lot of talk of change and not enough action to make change. What catastrophe would it take for a change to occur? What disaster needs to happen for you politicians to care about the people you serve - the people that year after year beg for someone to take a stand for the rights they deserve and the rights they have always wanted? That is what a true politician would care about, what is right. Not whether it is controversial, not if it will get you the most votes. A true leader would do what was right and not betray the trust of those that elected her.
