What would it be? As a whole or to a specific individual, what would it be and why would you ask it?
Mine would be to Congress, Judicial Branch and Executive Branch. My question would be why? Why did you allow this to happen? Why did you allow this to happen to America?

You should have asked "If could ask the government 1 question they had to answer honestly".
And their honest answer to each and every question would be: because you let us.
I don't mean to castigate anyone, I grew up in the same pen of my own generations self interest, so let's be honest. We've allowed ourselves to be bought off with toys and excess of comforts.
Politicians have become 'them'. A faceless entity that's supposed to clean up the messes of our country, while we go about whatever it is that creates a singular life of personal comfort and less responsibility. Don't tell me how to live my life, but by all means help pay for the mistakes I make, through social programs, etc...
Sure we vote, but who do we vote for and when we do, do we hold 'them' to their promises, or question why they didn't deliver? No, we accept it is status quo: 'they' lie - don't 'they' all?
We see lines of overnight buyers, buying plastic garbage at exorbitant prices, or to see crappy movies. Do we see lines of overnight voters, waiting at voting booths, eagerly awaiting to vote?
I don't exclude myself from the responsibility of my own blame and I'm not calling anyone in particular out, but in the end, we allowed them to do it.

My question.....
When in the hell did the big switch happen, and who allowed it?
When did US citizens start working for the GOV, and GOV start leaching off of the American people.
As a business owner, why am I expected to pay 45% of the money my business earns to the GOV, that didn't do a gosh damn thing to earn it? It doesn't make since.

My question would be.
How much do you spend monthly on Shampoo and Soap?
And when they gave me a perplexed look I would say...
I ask this question because it appears you spend so much time with your heads up your own, or each others, backsides that you would think you all would have crap all over your head but you always appear to be crap free in photo ops and speaking engagements.
So, you must go through an abnormally large amount of shampoo and soap.

What do you think the Founding Fathers of our country would think of the political games of today, and if you think they'd be alarmed why are you part of sounding that alarm?
