One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. The nation should offer a very level playing field so that every American can achieve to the very highest level their talents, abilities, ambition will take them. We don't need people in Washington, like Algore, who have never met a payroll, never really worked excepting hand picked building credibility positions arranged by his father, have no feel for what the average person is feeling or needing, micromanaging our lives. Can't you see they want to maximize tax revenues so they have the power? They want to dole out bits and pieces to manipulate the economy and their voting base to be loyal. They want to control what should rightfully be the workers money. They should be concerned about national defense and those things that affect all the people. In my opinion, everything should be brought to the level closest to the action needed. For example, I think home rule is always better. The people affected know best what is good for them. Not some bureaucrat in Washington. I know in business you won't have a strong company if all the decisions are made at the highest level and the rank and file employees are given the edict or rule without any input from them. They won't buy in and productivity will suffer. With Clinton and Gore, most of the people buying in only want something from them. They want wealth transfer or some benefits they feel the leader can supply. Generally, these people are not the ones who make things happen or produce greatly. If you went camping with them, they would be the ones sitting against the tree, complaining about when the food will be prepared while you build the fire, cook the food, etc..
