A Turning Point

Why do many immigrants escape tyrannical governments, appreciate our quality of life, and our freedoms? But, people born in this country often seem to not appreciate the vast opportunities and appreciate our freedoms and are striving so hard to leap into the democratic/socialist idealist/utopian and over-controlled big government engineered by others. Do we really believe that those in Washington know more about what's best for the country than we do? They're supposed to represent us, not engineer a massive government to oversee our every action. Unless that's the government we want.
