Last night I, like many Americans, watched the President speak about Healthcare. As he looked into the camera it was clear that his speech was to the American voters, not to Congress. Today, several news sources are reporting how America felt about the speech and the Healthcare issue. I'm not trying to make a point about Healthcare. I am in favor of universal care but not in favor of paying for people who smoke and over eat to contribute to their own high cost of care. But, that is a different issue. I'm writing today about the end of Representative Government.

You want to save money, eliminate Representative Government. Walk with me back a few years to 1776. Back then there was no TV, internet, or Twitter. My Blog was written on parchment back then and posted in the town square. Government could not reflect the views of the citizens without one person, The Representative, going to Washington to vote on our behalf. It made sense. The concept of one man one vote really came down to one person voting for his state or district. Bu t things have changed.

Today, we can vote for the American Idol with our mobile phones. We do online banking and I post my Blog on the internet. No need to walk all the way down to the Square and hang up my sheet of parchment. So, why do we need some FAT CAT blow hard politician going to Washington to vote for us? The answer: WE DON'T! For the last 25 years everyone in Politics has been following Polling numbers. They already know who will win the elections before we finish voting. There is no current need for a Representative to go to Washington to vote for us. We could do our own voting on our mobile phones while the President is speaking.

Think of it. Ryan Seacrest walks out after the President's speech and says: "All of you in favor of national Healthcare can text 666 on your cell phones now. Those of you opposed can text 000 now." The money saved by not paying for Congress could balance the budget.
