day no. 17,347: internationally obsessed and domestically ignorant

“Our leaders are internationally obsessed and domestically ignorant.” — Charlie Kirk

We elect our representatives to address our concerns, but they often end up meddling in the affairs of others with whom we have nothing to do. They spend their time passing legislation to take our tax dollars to address their concerns in Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel, or Iran. As such, our representatives, do not represent us very well. The average Joe is not interested in the middle east other than trying to avoid sending his sons there to die. The more our representatives grab passing nations by the ears, the less they concern themselves with the people playing in their own back yards. And when they begin to bark, they get put in the kennel. 

Our leaders cannot stop minding someone else's beeswax and continually ignore the needs of their own bees. They think of us as worker bees which is to say that they do not think of us. They think of themselves as queen bees which is to say they think only of themselves.
