George Washington has been all over the news and boards lately. So I did some Quality reading and started to wonder why we have a system that has so many corrupt long term politicians in it. Seem it began with the 12th Amendment in 1804 and when political parties started. In his farewell address of 1796 George Washington said in part the following;
"the spirit of party".....
"serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection"
I discovered that George Washington thought political parties would eventually bring more harm than good to Our Country and Government should be Service to One's Country not to One's self interest. DJT knows this and I'm glad he does. May God Bless the USA and DJT
When the government employees became unionized.
