Stopping Government Abuse

Open email to House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor:
    Dear Speaker Boehner and Leader Eric Cantor,
    I listened to your recent YouTube messages concerning your general program of stopping government abuse. You have two main points of general action; eliminate the IRS from application of Obamacare, and reign in federal red tape. Associated with that you mention out-of-control bureaucracy, abuses that threaten our economy, pay decrease for government employees under investigation, lavish conferences, bonuses, and general reforms.    All of the above is interesting, but I believe it misses the main point of our government problem.    We have developed within the US population over the past 80 or more years a strong attitude of socialism. The essence of socialism is division of wealth among the general population. In effect, it is a Robin Hood attitude of "steal from the rich and give to the poor". Through this procedure, we have now a very large population of voters, who expects free-stuff. Whether the origin of the free-stuff is stolen from the rich or long-term juggling of government financial debt, is of little concern to the receivers. Free-stuff receivers are interested only in "now" and the very near future. They are not concerned with what may occur 20 years down the road, or with possible anticipation that the government and its rich suppliers will go bankrupt. Some few generations ago parents were concerned with the welfare of remaining children on the parents demise. That is no longer the case. Government has now convinced most of the general populace that it will take care of the "children" and parents need not be concerned. In fact, government will even take care of the parents as long as they are alive. While not everybody subscribes to this position, there are a sufficient number to radically affect voting. Much of the voting public will vote on the basis of candidates who promise to give something to the voters now as opposed to some long-term future benefit, and especially not concerning the "good of the country".    The above means to me that you are on the wrong track with respect to your philosophy and programs. I propose that if you continue with this, you will make some minor gains which may appear satisfactory to you, but in the final analysis you will fail and be voted out of office.
    However, I am not advocating that you also become a promoter of free-stuff in the traditional sense. I am advocating that you direct your sales program to the general public in a manner consistent with their anticipated desires. For example, you may want the IRS out of Obamacare enforcement, but what does this matter to the average free-stuff receiver? How does it affect his free healthcare from his employer, whether the IRS is involved or not. If you can't give a good reason for your position, he will vote simplistically, as he normally would in the next election. Similarly, with respect to government abuse involving excessive bureaucracy inhibiting employers, government bonuses, and lavish government conferences, the average free-stuff receiver has no interest. He knows that such things exist now and will continue in the future but sees no connection on how it affects his free-stuff, no matter what you do. Remember, the free-stuff receivers are voters. They will always vote for the candidates who will most likely continue to give them short-term benefits.
