Uncle Sam is Not your Parent or Spouse: 5 Facts Why Being Married to the Gov't Is a Bad idea
This is not necessarily a political conversation but one that uses the social sphere to demonstrate why marriage to a good person for you matters using Uncle Sam.
No matter where our voting history lies, we know Uncle Sam is not good.
And we know that we have a Constitutional right in the document to talk about our grievances.
Some individuals think any criticism lobbied at Uncle Sam’s history and/or present actions means you hate the country.
Some has gone so far as to say that we should be a submissive spouse only remembering the good, forgetting the injustices we see coming from an overall good spouse/parent.
Utter nonsense.
This is actually backwards thinking.
The government is to be under our boot or to be our child, subservient to our desires as citizens and respectful of our rights as human beings.
In this “marriage” the gov’t is our child not our significant other.
And if we were to use Uncle Sam as some sort of metaphor for marriage, we’d be in a bad relationship and a national divorce might even be warranted.
But since we want happy, Iconic homes, let me tell you why being married to Uncle Sam is a disastrous idea.
And it is better to keep him in his place underneath our boot doing what we wish him to do if anything at all:
And that cannot be further from the truth.
Fact #1: Financially Irresponsible
A good husband is a provider, can manage his finances and can pay for the care of his family with or without a spouse’s help.
Uncle Sam is not the same. He has no money of his own that he doesn’t take from others and give to those he sees fit.
He is in massive debt. Trillions of dollars that is unfathomable.

He makes decisions on the whim and waste much of the dollars he takes on frivolous stuff, bribes and not even his supposed family.
What kind of husband would not be in the divorce line if he was as financially terrible as Uncle Sam is?
And as this most disastrous Congress is supposed to control the purse strings, no one holds him accountable.
Orgs under his control can just lose billions and no one is fired. He can involve himself in other relationships/families’ business outside our home borders and waste more money in conflicts we don’t even belong in while treating his own spouse like dirt.
No other husband can get away with such abuse.
Uncle Sam as our husband, is a terrible idea.
We have a need in the Iconic Community- RIP Debra Smith

We are sorry to announce the passing of her mother Debra Smith and send our prayers and condolences to the family.
Ms. Smith has had health issues that made it hard to secure life insurance, something Aja dedicates her time to help families do. So, we need your help by August 3 to finance the funeral.
We have interviews with Aja over on my show “Mrs. Pinky Thoughts” and for our Breaking Fear workshop event.
She is truly a servant of the people.

Fact #2: The Gov’t Doesn’t Love You
He is a terrible lover. We went over love in a previous newsletter and the gov’t does none of those.
Uncle Sam is not kind, definitely boasts and is envious for example.
The violation of citizens’ rights, the two-tiered justice system, the systemic racism especially through the arms of the criminal justice system and the consistent need to put pressure on him to act right is proof.
He puts his own expansions first. Citizens are in need, and he cares for others abroad firstly.
Uncle Sam’s priorities are all wrong with its terrible healthcare system, intrusive disregard for the Bill of Rights and its numerous unnecessary organizations that bog down his workload.
Uncle Sam is a terrible husband.
Fact #3: It Is Abusive
Uncle Sam has narcissistic qualities only caring about what you can do for him. He will gaslight you when you call him out on his issues and get triggered when you dare protest his treatment.
Researchers conducting a qualitative study asked 436 people who live with narcissists to describe life with them. They said these spouses, parents, and others were people who:1
Need to be in charge of everything
Are very critical and “superior” toward others
Feel entitled to take things like their bank card and use it
Neglect children while focused on their own needs

But then he wants you to love him on his birthday. Even with a document outlining his responsibilities and scope of authority, Uncle Sam often crosses the line doing things that violate his promises.
He wants to rule the world no matter how involving himself in the affairs of others has backfired.
He cannot manage his own household, spies on his family and even leaking private information.
That is not a healthy marriage in the least.
Fact #4: A Deadbeat Dad
Uncle Sam is always missing when you need him the most. Citizens lie in the streets without a home, his provisions are terrible. He wants to get people for loans to schools and PPP loans when he himself doesn’t pay the debts he owes.
Again, he wastes money he takes from others and yet cannot take care of his own.
He comes and goes in and out of our lives, wanting nothing to do with us one minute and wanting to lock us down the next.
You never know where you stand with him as he expects undying fealty with our last breath but couldn’t care if you can even go get help when you are sick.
Education? He does not care if his schools fail us or the universities get us in debt, he is in debt too.
He makes promises to us he can’t keep leaving us waiting for better and for more.
What he does do well it is at the force of his spouse and kids constantly making him do right, if he does anything right at all.
Fact #5: He Has Force
At the end of a gun, he takes money. Even when you accept that the money is for the greater good most times its to fuel his ego and his wars.
If it wasn’t for the document that reigns in his power, Uncle Sam would be way worse.
So, while his armies are filled with brave men and women who will die for his causes, he sometimes erroneously puts them at risk for his own agenda.
He can use the power of laws to put people he doesn’t like away, especially those strong enough to call out his bull.
He can hide his secrets while telling us that if we did nothing wrong, we should expose ourselves to him and others.
Ironic, right?
The hypocrisy that he has a force he can use, and his agents even has protection even when wrong, makes this relationship one-sided.
This isn’t a good marriage at all and not one that should be used as a metaphor to get people to act right or to stop complaining.
Summary
We are not in a marriage with our government. Our government is not our parent either.
It is our job as citizens to remind the government who runs things, it is us the American people.
And America is built on the backs of solid marriages.
A good marriage is not one with our government and anyone who says that just wants to shut up criticism.
Patriotism is not ignoring our problems but recognizing them so we can solve them.
We cannot leave problems in the past if they aren’t solved and cause problems for today.
No relationship works that way.
A good relationship with Uncle Sam is one where it remembers that we are in charge.
And in every relationship, we have, we remember to be Iconic.
