Burdens as a Result of Government Actions

The following aptly sums up the manner in which citizens permit governments to mismanage the affairs of their nations and inflict great pain upon their citizens:

"The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.”

To prove that there is - once again - nothing new under the sun, the author was none other than George Washington.

Let us listen to, and act in accordance with, the words of Winston Churchill who frequently annotated reports and proposal with the words 'ACTION THIS DAY'.

We could make the world a slightly better place.
