Happy Independence Day!
Are we truly free, are we independent of our Government? You decide..
I look to Federalist Number 49, for our answer.
" The people are the only legitimate foundation of power, and it is from them that the Constitutional charter is derived.. " Government is and should be fully accountable to them for the actions which it supposedly takes on their behalf'.. ( James Madison, February 2nd 1785)..
While I enjoy the celebration of July 4th, I would also like to see September 17th, the day in the year of our Lord 1787, that our Great Document was ratified, Constitution Day, become a Holiday, or at the very least, a day of remembrance thereof..
In a time of, tax, license, permits, fees etc, where one surrenders a right for a government privilege, are we really free? Do we own ourself?
Your thoughts and opinions are most welcome.
