the great divide, red vs blue, the nation

The country has developed hate relationships with each other. In years past, the divide was not such that people hated each other, except during the civil war. My ancestors decided the south should succeed from the nation and did so. I believe the current government is possibly beyond repair without significant changes.

Fixing the nation’s problems comes back to where the country started, state rights. The federal government must remove itself as the ultimate decider of what direction a state and its elected politicians want to go. The IRS should be closed down and done away with. It is merely the arm of the government to police citizens to their own needs. The education department needs to go as the IRS, and children’s education should fall squarely on the states. These are examples of the federal government needing to go back to controlling the borders, and minimal governing people should be left to the states.

The united states are not very united now at all. The nation’s population is located in dense blue areas around most large cities, and the red regions control most of the land areas of America. The two people are opposed opposites diametrically in most views.

We need no war; they are awful, and they never really change what is going to happen. Peace comes when two sides believe that neither is perfect but are so different not to want to be connected to the other. The only way to fix our broken house is to have a balanced budget, no deficit spending, term limits to remove the dead weight from congress, and remove the IRS as a tool, that removes wealth and destroy opponents. Then let the states decide thier citizens wants and needs, not federal government.

Peace is the vehicle to remove hate and replace it with a non-perfect solution but a peaceful one. rwb
