Helpful government
Government from local to national is deciding what is "best" for us. California wants to put remote control thermostats in homes because the government knows best. California has decided that children cannot be home schooled unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best. Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that fat people (as defined by the state) cannot be served in restaurants because the government knows best. Texas tells people they cannot play eight liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best. The United States government tells us what time it is because the government knows best.
I'm tired of the government telling me what is best. I want to return to the days when I was allowed to decide for myself what is best.

A needed constitutional amendment
I can't claim credit for this being an original idea, but I'd like to propose a constitutional amendment that would require all politicians -- from dog catcher to POTUS -- to wear uniforms much like those NASCAR drivers wear with the names of all their sponsors displayed. Perhaps the size of the patch could correspond with the size of the contributions made. This way we could determine who our politicians are beholden to. I mean, we KNOW it ain't the regular, everyday, hard working citizens who voted for them.
