Alright Mr. (or Ms.) Politico, isn't it enough that I have to pay you to sit mindlessly fouling up the air around your seat at the office? Are you not satisfied enough soaking me with the bill to keep your lights on and Nine Lives in little Fluffy's bowl? I pay a big chunk out of my salary as an underpaid health care worker, just to pony up for your kid's college tuition. I am fleeced to near starvation levels so you'd think that was enough.

Not a chance, you're a public official and by default it is assumed (at least among really stupid people) that you just have to know everything. You had the smarts to be able to con enough people to vote for you so obviously you must know your stuff. The roots of the Einstein family tree must be getting their water straight from your backyard garden hose. You sir or madam, must be literally oozing genius, the problem is both that my wallet and my liberty take a pounding when it all drips on me.

Your grand idea to “reform” health care, bailout any fool that is equally lousy in business as you were, not fix the roads, or make a mockery of freedom and justice proves to anyone that knows better, you have no real business savvy. Just where's your fantastic achievement in the real world outside your cushy little job that steals from my labor?

Here's my take on it…you can't compete in the private sector. You lack the honesty to actually tell your constituents that you don't have the goods and never did. There's no individual liability against you personally for failure to meet the needs of those you claim to serve. Your “company” you run now is government, and you set it up where you literally can't possibly “go out of business”, no matter how badly you and your ilk foul up the works.

If you could solve the so-called “health care crisis”, you'd have already provided an even slightly successful model and opened your own insurance company just to show us all how it is done. You could do so in any other endeavor if you knew how, yet you simply don't, do you brainiac?

You got into politics in the first place because you were unable to successfully make a go of it among us working stiffs. That you were unable to hide your severe lack of business acumen from a man of ordinary intellect such as me, simply proves that you're not so smart as you think.

Do the decent thing and close up your lousy government shop for good, we both know it doesn't work. Then go get a real job, you bum.

With Liberty,

Dan Steward
