My letter to Congress

This is a letter I will be mailing to Congress, the Senate, the president, and the vice president, multiple times if I have to, so that the voice of the public may be heard.
I am sorry if you support the president, but in no way am I attacking you. Politics aren't for attacking, so your point would still be invalid. Also, I am not intending to step on anyone's toes, this letter is opinionated, but please take it seriously and openmindedly, as I spent a whole day writing it.
Thank you.
Congress, Senate, President, Vice, this is for you all. I am not addressing one particular party, I am not siding with either party, in fact, I think you are both being ignorant and immature with your petty arguments between one another. I'm not going to candycoat, I'm not going to be nice about what I will say, because then my point will not be made.
America is beginning to crumble, major cities are beginning to decline in economic value, we have lost one to bankruptcy, and for the sake of our fathers, we cannot end a thirteen year war? And we are supposed to look up to you all? Our government? Our role models? You as a government are full of bias, total bias. Barack, Joe, Congress, you as Democrats need to clean up, as do the Republicans. Congress did not shut down the White House, you all did. The country is not crumbling because of the Republican greed. It is not falling because of the Democratic liberalism. No, the country has gone to an unstable state because you are all a bunch of immature children.
You make decisions that do not favor your country, and because of this, families are struggling. You shut down our government to fund your welfare, because the government refused. And yet do you take a look at the big picture? Do you see the people complaining about Obamacare? About your master plan to rescue all? We cannot even pay your penalty if we decline the insurance plan! That is how outrageous and scandalous you have become!
You use race and religion to fuel your debates. You use incidents such as that of Columbine and Newtown to feed your anger towards rival parties. You make wars that should not be yours. I will tell you right now, America is not the policeman of the world. In fact, America has no control over the world! How can a country looked down upon even lead the world, when it's own country has crashed rock bottom?
You blame previous campaigns like that of Bush for leading the country to ruin, yet since 2008 the unemployment and debt has risen beyond repair. You want to create jobs, but you enforce taxes and have shut down businesses with your new laws and bills. You want to decrease the debt so you tax your citizens, taxes we cannot pull out of pocket. And you demand us to have healthcare, and if we do not, you will penalize us. You as a leading government have failed us, you have shown us that we as a nation are pathetic. I am not speaking as an anti-colonization individual or an anti-American, I am speaking as a citizen of the United States of the great America.
Or at least, it once was great.
So, how do we repair the country? Well, you have two choices. You can continue your great and oh so wonderous path of leadership and lead the country to anarchy, or you can fix it all the way it should be.
The debt itself is beyond fix, too high to bring down for at least a couple of thousands of years. We as a nation must declare bankruptcy, otherwise we will lead ourselves to ruin. Bring down the taxes and shut of all importation. We must regain our money. We must repair our economy.
It is a requirement that we as citizens must agree to a draft, or risk conviction. Even so, we as a nation have multi-billions of adults fully capable of fighting. The willingness to fight for one's country and the feeling of patriotism is of that of human psychology, you cannot force it, you cannot implant it. Each man and woman's psychology is different, and as such, this is why no one in our nation agrees with one another. This is why rebellion is around, this is why anarchist colonies are founded, this is why communism and socialism exist.
This country is founded on false beliefs, on bias, on discrimination. Every man is given his right to decision, and should a man be willing to fight, he can fight. If not, he should not half to. As rebels in the 60s and 70s have done, burn the draft. Not temporarily, permanently. In the start of the nation, we lacked enough for a true army, and as such, when war began, all men were called to arms. In Korea and Vietnam, we did the same. How many men in our country live in fear that one day, some day, they will be forced to fight against their will? How many don't feel that death is worth the fight for our country's liberties? This does not mean we are anti-American, it means that we see death as stupid. Not anarchaic, it is not worth the years we can continue to live in happiness.
As of today, race and religion has sifted its way into the government, and the nation is in turmoil because of this. Our people are at race wars over a president who is mixed, not one race or another. Our country is at war over whether Christians are better, Islam is evil, or Atheists deserve to be in a "Christian" nation. And this, pardon my language, is BS. This is not a country, this is a nation faltering. Other countries have proven themselves better because of this. A nation that does not include God in its anthem has thrived, and continues to. Look at the Netherlands and Finland, notorious Atheist nations with no set religion. Unlike our nation, religion is not a problem, religion does not discriminate.
This country needs work, a lot of work. If you aren't willing to fix it, someone else will. So get to it, or leave the office. Your choice. America has grown tired of the crap that has grown over the past eight years. We have witnessed shootings, bankruptcy, riots. How much more are we going to take before you understand you are all wrong?
Or do we have to wait till things get too far gone before you get past your blind vision to understand?
The choice is yours. And we are all waiting for you to fix it. Because we the people would like our country back in our hands. We are fed up.

For the most part that is who is behind what has turned our country into what it has become. Don't get me wrong, the gay rights is good, and I'm proud of that. But Obamacare is dangerous, and we're spending and getting into wars we should not. At the same time, I have not spoken enough with liberalists to even get their side, and have been raised in a conservative area my whole life.
If I can get a liberal point of view things would definitely help.

I've spoken to at least five to ten different people TODAY ALONE, especially in my income bracket, who have been excitedly signing up for the affordable care act/Obamacare because they couldn't afford it before. One thing that many Conservatives and I differ on is that I don't think taking care of our worst off is OPTIONAL. And I certainly don't stereotype them all as minority people who are lazy and just skate around making the gubmint their ♥♥♥♥♥. The government and the economy have screwed over many a people, and the reason that minority people are disadvantaged isn't because they're lazy and they can get whatever they want, it's because the economy is hard on them and there are definitely still things that keep them from being as successful; certainly not as bad as before, but still pretty bad. Republicans generally act like people who are poor are undeserving or have cheated the system, but that they are the only ones being screwed over (and the politicians are really not). It's a dog-eat-dog mentality that I can't get behind; we want to make no sacrifices for ourselves because who cares about the people worse off?

In order to assist in maintaining an unbiased perspective, please note that those advocating opulent wars (a strike on Syria would cost ~1.5 billion per day) tend to be republican, Sen. John McCain (R) comes to mind. The cost of such expenditures easily parallels the cost of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Partisan attacks are inherently meaningless because, ultimately, the same super-PACs benefit form any decision made, because they control both parties. They have created a rather ingenious system whereby, utilizing two ideological fronts, they are able to create two ostensibly different pieces of legislation which each provide the super-PACs and their beneficiaries with a substantial sum of money.
Once such a win-win scenario is advanced, the parties may then vie for the public vote. No matter which the public chooses, the legislation which follows will benefit the super-PACs, while still appearing to be decided by the public.

As much as I agree with the Obamacare act, the penalty for not having it is dangerous. All it will do is increase the amount of poverty, because not only do we have to pay for it, if we don't have healthcare, we have to pay a price for that too. ANd that is not fair at all, especially for low income families. We can't just go get a loan, we have to earn our money as well, and if we don't pay it back, we're in deep ♥♥♥♥. Obamacare helps, yes, but it also is a risk.

My big thing is that it was passed, it was contested and passed again, and now one party is holding Congress hostage over something that was done entirely legally. And if I've heard right they're also advocating for other things that definitely don't help low income people in their demands. People who are demanding Obama be impeached over this are really just trying too hard, as Obamacare was passed as the government is supposed to.
Edit: Furthermore, the shutdown over the matter really isn't helping the economy; it's already cost us $600,000,000

I don't think Obama has as much say when 2/3rds of Congress votes can override a President's veto. If anything Congress and the Judicial Court are the more corrupt ones (although Obama hasn't really been helping all too much). Congress for just being corrupt as usual, but has anyone noticed how the Judicial Supreme Court hasn't really been doing much over the corrupt things Congress has been passing? Or is it just me?
