Vote the bureaucracies out

OPINION:

Alexis de Tocqueville famously wrote in the early 19th century about the tyranny of the majority. Today this tyranny can be equated to that of the bureaucracy, one that is increasingly becoming the majority.

This bureaucracy is almost totally made up of Democrats, if for no other reason than they believe in big government as the solution to all our problems.

It’s the same group that, if there is slight condensation on a window, tells its workers to stay home for the day. (Not that their staying home is a bad thing; it gives a reprieve to the incessant intrusion into working people’s lives.)

The growth of bureaucracies has infected not only government, but everything from the corporate world, to education, health care and any other endeavor that requires real workers. Ironically, these administrators don’t have to have any experience in that which they are supposed to be administrating.

The first step in correcting the insidious role of bureaucracies is to vote the Democrats out. It’s not about keeping your air conditioner or ceiling fan; it’s about taking control of your life and country.

Big government causes problems; it does not solve them. Just look at the current mortgage rates.
