The fall of A Once Great Nation

There once was a great nation that stood head and shoulder above any that stood before it’s time. This nation amplified great power, wealth, and democracy throughout its land.
The nation that I am talking about is the great Roman Empire.

The reason for my writing this article at this time is because I would like to discuss some of the causes that led to the fall of such a great nation. At the beginning of Roman Empire there was both an Eastern and Western Roman Empire. After years of civil wars the western empire lost its status and fell. Now after becoming the dominant power of the Roman Empire the Eastern Empire over time began a downward spiral of destruction within itself. It became an empire that was divided among itself, its main ruler became a figurehead only, and it became a country that was dependent on its military above all else.

The Roman Empire was a nation that was built on a rotten system from its inception, after some time they became a nation of moral decay, there was an unsound economic policy, a monetary system that was always on the verge of collapse and towards its end it begin an attempt to conquer there neighboring countries in order to acquire their supplies because of depletion of their own.

Let me ask you, do the Roman Empire sound like another great nation that you might be familiar with? This being an election year for the Presidency of the United States of America, I ask myself does it really matter who takes over that position. We are a country that is now divided among itself, our nominees are fighting each other tooth and nail for control of a failing system. For centuries the United States has mark on all of its currency God Bless America. I now believe that it is time to change that to God Help America.
