Government does not and cannot provide prosperity.

opinion, those blessings include a decent living and a fair share in the
benefits of this country for all Americans (not just the wealthy).

But those that are unwilling to work when they are able to,
shouldn't expect the handout (IMHO).

In the beginning........there was Philadelphia.

It was decided to have a loooooose confederation of states brought together
under a weak Federal government. The purpose of which was to provide such
things as; common roads, common monies, common rules and regulations
pertaining to INTERSTATE commerce. And if needed to provide for the defense
of one, or all of the states.

What the hell happened?
