Dr. Ben Carson for president

In Dr. Carson's book, "America the Beautiful" he talks about how politician's who in 2009 acted in concert with the actions of circumstances that precipitated the American Revolution.  Our country was already deeply in debt yet our government spent excessive amounts of money on "TARP" The bailout of Wall Street, and large companies such as General Motors. Elected officials were ignoring the will of the people.
Carson says we need an assortment of people in Government so that it doesn't get lop-sided. Such as lawyers (which we have a preponderance of.) They are of course well educated and have an overwhelming goal to win whether they are Democratic or Republican. This is why we have such distasteful partisan politics that characterize Congress today.  Congressmen were meant to serve their terms and then return to their original walks of life, however, they don't want to return, so they spend an inordinate amount of time and money getting re-elected. These tangled relationships have reached the point where powerful corporate groups , unions and other groups with large amounts of money to spend and exert pressure on the legislative process.  This essentially pitches logical decisions out the window.

"This is a serious problem which threatens the very integrity of our system of government."

The solution of course would be to limit the terms with no chance of re-election.

Dr. Carson and a friend wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post focusing on "TORT REFORM." In that piece they called for the media to focus attention on the U.S. Senators who had been co-opted by the trial lawyers Association to the point that they would always filibuster any Tort Reform Bill that came before the Senate.

The founding fathers feared the Government becoming too big and too powerful.  Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter" Experience declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind;  For I can apply no milder term to the Government's of Europe and to the general prey of the rich on the poor."

Dr, Carson points to country's such as Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain with Government's who have not been able to fulfill their promised obligations to the people due to the lack of funds, despite high taxes.  These are timely examples of what happens when we abandon our founders principals of limited Government and the protection of Civil Rights.

The framers of our Constitution knew they didn't want the kind of government that tried to control the lives of it's constituent's.  They realized that it would transform " We The People" from a can do society to a "What can you do for me?"  society.

There is nothing in the constitution that supports the distribution of wealth. 

In a recent survey poll of all presidential candidates Dr. Carson rated third and the bulk of American people don't know him.  When they listen to his Prayer Breakfast Speech in front of President Obama.  When they hear his lectures and read his books I'm convinced they will see what they want in a man who could win this election and put America back on track.
