Robert Jamieson, 52, works as an IT consultant for Target Corporation. He lives in Ramsey, Minn. and grew up in East Grand Forks, Minn.

He believes government impacts people’s lives in many ways but that government is essentially corrupt and burdened by red tape.

He said government is most in need of reform in healthcare and social security. He said by the time he retires, social security will be practically non-existent.

He said he regularly contacts his congressman over a number of different issues, usually when he is angry over a certain issue, such as potholes in the road.
