Seriously America?

The U.S. national government has been called many things. Some think it is very complicated while some say it is actually quite simple. Even if someone were able to describe our government, would they be right? Would they be truthful? Would you agree? The truth is I'm not sure any of us can or could describe are government. 

Once, American government was thought of as strong and trusted by its citizens. As time passes, people seem to be getting  more and more angry and disappointed with our government though. I tend to be one of those people,yet I am not angry at our government. I'm upset with the person sitting beside me watching the news with me because they are the ones to blame. The system was set up by our founding fathers to be flexible and adapt to change, but the only changes people are making lately are not necessarily for the better.
As a minor, I am unable to vote in order to make the changes I want, but I still try to do my part by being politically knowledgeable as often as I can, and often, more than most. I also try to encourage people around me to do the same and vote. Unfortunately, most of them tend to vote in favor of a certain party because of their parent's influence on them and not because of their own opinions. The idea of these people lacking independent thoughts is frustrating, but I cannot be angry with them because they are at least taking the initiative and making a difference. This is how our government works now and it is the fault of many American citizens.

I wish I could brag about how happy I am to live in America, but I am quite disappointed. I am not disappointed in the U.S. government: I am disappointed in the American citizens. The government is working just how it was meant to, and the people who really care are making it work for them. Those people may not be the best for America, but why should anyone really care? No one seems to be paying any attention to them anyway.
