I wonder if our forefathers intended for the Federal Government to become so elitist and out of touch with the American people?

When the people who are supposed to be representing us, protecting us, and guarding our country, are so out of touch with the day-to-day lives of American people, how can we expect them to relate to our issues?

Servants, private jets, limousines, private schools for their children, private medical care, bodyguards, designer clothes, gourmet food, etc...makes it all but impossible for our government to properly represent the average American.

I'd like to see Bush and all the others in our Federal Government spend just ONE week living in a neighborhood invaded by illegals. Make them go to the grocery store where they're surrounded by illegals. Make them go to Burger King and try to order a simple lunch. Make them send their children to schools that are 2/3 non-English speaking Mexicans. Make them sit in an emergency room for 6 hours, behind the illegals, waiting for care.

They live so outside the reality of the average American, that they can't approach anything realistically. We need more "average Joes" in government. We need to limit the "perks" that change their lives so much that it puts them out of touch with the reality of American life. We need to stop treating our government like ROYALTY....because I KNOW our forefathers never intended for that.
