The Constitution is obsolete and needs to be overhauled. Even though I definitely do not trust the current government to rewrite it.

People like you disgust me. Don't try to change my country because you don't like it. The Founders set rules and, if we had lived by them, people would be better off now. We broke them and here we are. We don't change them except by very strict guidelines, which were abused... and here we are.
You want universal health care? Go to Canada or France or Germany. It isn't in the Constitution, and health care back then consisted of a rag soaked in brandy, bed rest, and some luck. You're blessed to have this much access to medical necessities.
America was founded on self-reliance. You may want handouts, high taxes, and increased regulation, but you want another country, not mine. The American Dream pays off, but not if you're a lazy idiot. You need to work, you need to fail, you need to pick yourself up and rise above to live the dream. If you think it's unfair, life's unfair.
Neoliberalism makes me sick. Every cent I donate to political causes will go toward causes to reverse the spread of the cancer and bring down the bloat.
