Is America #ReadyForHillary?

By John Wong on April 13, 2015

Hillary Clinton announced on social media on Sunday she’ll be running for president in the upcoming election. Wife of former President Bill Clinton, Hillary will soon be joined by Jeb Bush to begin a potential race between two people very close to previous presidents. This potential result will pave the way for the direction in which American politics goes.

The potential dynastic leadership in America is the peak of a slippery slope of issues that continue to degenerate the American political system. High inheritance taxes facilitate the creation of an aristocratic class; political dynasties pervade states across the country and across party lines. Now, the highest office in the land is faced with the decision to continue that pattern or step in the way of new libertarianism. The United States was founded upon the principle of political liberty, unhindered by those whose only merit was their blood.

Hillary Clinton is a viable candidate. People may debate many of her political views. She is an accomplished politician and clearly hard working enough to be in a position to run. However, as the spouse of a former president. There are countless conflicts of interest: who had access to President Clinton during his term and now seeks to use that to personal political gain. Corruption can reside much more easily in an entrenched political family.

If America realizes that, it should not be ready for Hillary, or any other relative for that matter, unless it wishes to create the same institution from which we rebelled almost 300 years ago.
