Roberto Rivera 1B 9/16/2010 Most people in the United States of America have grown lazier and have given up on doing much for their community. They have put a thought that the government will fix everything that is wrong. Most persons will sit back watch TV and eat there dinner while there is a war or the nation is falling apart. The people should take responsibility for their community, because the government is not as large as the country and cannot fix every little problem and the people need to be able to fix problems on their own. Wall Street had lost almost all of the money they have and asked the government to give them money. They wanted the people’s money to make them rich again so the do not have to work. When that happened common statement heard by others is, “The government should just print more money.” A problem with that is then when more money is made the value goes down and if the value goes down then the dollar is worthless. If people helped one another and did not destroy what the government had to pay for then the community would not need their help. When a park is decrepit and broken, some people want the government to stop doing what they are doing to pay to fix a park. Instead of bringing the government into all the mess, they could find one of the thousands of construction workers who might do charity or can be paid at a reasonable price. If the people fixed their own problems or did not wait for the government to solve the problem they could have things done faster. Instead of having one man make a decision that most would disagree with, why not have the community decide on a consensus? The decision might take long but eventually everyone would find a way to agree. The government has only a few necessities like: laws to keep others under control and money to barter; without those, they are not really needed. They do what others as a community could do as one. If the government was not around and people used a form of congregation to agree on difficult decisions there would be peace among us. If there was no republican or democratic then others who were part of that group would not feel the need to want what that party wants if they think different. Maybe some decisions would have gone differently if there was also no pressure of what others think in that particular group. If humans were not such violent and greedy creatures, then we could all live peacefully and not have a need for a government. If the people were more independent from the government and more in touch with their community, they would not have as many problems as they might have. Then people would be happier and, with that not as much violence or greed where they live. People only need the government because they do not know what to do. There are some others that are smarter than our leaders, many were smarter than the 43rd president and they chose to keep it that way. It also showed how if a bad thing happens they are too slothful to actually do anything about it. If they had to do work for themselves then the country would be more productive and successful.
