THE USA STARTED WITH A REVOLUTION. IT APPROACHED EXCELLENCE VIA EVOLUTION. IT MAY WELL BE TIME FOR DEVOLUTION.
THE USA PEAKED IN ABOUT 200 YEARS, WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN's ELECTION. AFTER REAGAN LEFT, IT HAS AT BEST LANGUISHED, AND AT WORST, DECLINED. MAYBE IT GOT TOO BIG! IT UNDENIABLY REACHED A LOW POINT WITH THE "RE-ELECTION" OF BARACK OBAMA. IT MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO RECOVER FROM THIS NATIONAL BLUNDER. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE; READ ON
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE NATION HAS CONSEQUENTLY MORPHED FROM A NATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE INTO A NATION OPERATED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GOVERNMENT. CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED, ONCE A REQUIREMENT FOR SPENDING, TAXATION, AND WARFARE, IS NOW PASSE. SOME EVEN BELIEVE THAT OUR PRESENT FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS THE CAUSE, AND NOT THE SOLUTION, FOR THE PROBLEM. THAT GROUP BELIEVES THAT THE US HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY A SELFISH CLASS OF BUREAUCRATS WHO SEEM TO HAVE ONLY ONE OBJECTIVE: TRANSFER WEALTH FROM THE WORKING CLASS INTO THEIR OWN GREEDY POCKETS.
MANY BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, ALREADY. THEY FEEL THAT OUR MODE OF GOVERNMENT IS TOO LARGE AND TOO COMPLICATED TO WORK. THAT STUBBORN GROUP BELIEVES THAT WE SHOULD REVIEW OUR NATIONAL ROOTS AND RETURN TO SIMPLER TIMES AND MANNERS THAT WORKED IN THE PAST. THEY SAY THE CURRENT WAY DOESN'T WORK.
THEY CALL THE REVIEW/RETURN PROCESS DEVOLUTION.
WE SUBMIT THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DESIGNED A WORKABLE, CREDIBLE MODE OF GOVERNMENT, MADE UP OF FAR FEWER BUREAUCRATS PER CAPITA THAN NOW, AND THERE WAS NO WELFARE AND NO INCOME TAX. GEORGE WASHINGTON HAD A CABINET OF ONLY FOUR; THE MEMBERS WERE TRUE PUBLIC "SERVANTS" WORKING FOR LITTLE OR NO PAY. BY CONTRAST, OBAMA HAS 15 CABINET MEMBERS, WITH MUCH OVERLAP, REDUNDANCY, AND WASTE.TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE CABINET INCLUDES MANY ADMITTED SCOFFLAWS.
AMERICAN DEVOLUTION ADVOCATES SIMPLE, LEAN-AND-MEAN GOVERNMENT. PETER DRUCKER, RENOWNED MANAGEMENT WISEMAN, ADVOCATED SPANS OF CONTROL OVER NO MORE THAN SEVEN EMPLOYEES PER LEADER, WITH SEVEN OR LESS STEPS FROM ENTRY LEVEL TO CEO. AMERICAN DEVOLUTION BELIEVES THAT THOSE LIMITS , WHICH WOULD MANDATE A FULL GOVERNMENT OF ABOUT A MILLION GENUINE PUBLIC SERVANTS, WOULD BE GOOD FOR AMERICA. AND IS LOOKING FOR LIKE-MINDED CITIZENS WHO WILL HELP US DEVOLVE BACK INTO SANITY.
WE DO NOT PROPOSE REVOLUTION. WE PROPOSE DEVOLUTION ALONG A SET OF STRICT RULES AND IN KEEPING WITH A STRATEGIC LONG RANGE PLAN. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A DRAFT PLAN, WHICH EMBODIES THE NECESSARY RULES. THESE ARE PRESENTED IN A FOLLOWING SECTOIN. YOU ARE INVITED TO REVIEW AND COMMENT ON THESE RULES. CLICK HERE TO SKIP TO THOSE RULES.
