The doers of the world are getting tired...

We are living in a time where opportunity is abundant; the capacity of those who do is waning. I feel government in general has set the stage for the cart to become too top heavy. This leads to burnout amongst those who are laboring in their productive years and lack of purpose and fulfillment in life for those who are idling by. 
This is not a ship that has turned in the last week or month but is a slow wondering of our cultural ship. 
If one tries to grab the rudder and make an aggressive quick correction, you risk a capsize leaving things worse than before. My view is that a course correction only occurs by the continual effort of engaged citizens that keeps the focus on small wins that direct the culture away from rewards of overindulgence at the burden of others and seeks the principles in our South Dakota Constitution Article VI. Item 27

§ 27.   Maintenance of free government--Fundamental principles. The blessings of a free government can only be maintained by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.
