Let's make the U. S. strong again

The Democratic Republic of the United States is one of the best governments
in the world. That does not mean it is without problems, as the great framework set by the Founding Fathers, on one hand, has been tampered with and needs to be restored and, on the other hand, it needs some minor adjustments to better cope with elements they could never have imagined. This is not about helping or hurting one party or the other, it is about working out the kinks in government to make the U.S. the greatest nation in the world and to keep it that way. This was written by freedom-loving independent who sees that all political parties are corrupt.
