How long are we, as Americans, going to take this? This
country is being taken over by a "money machine". Money, the
root of all evil. Sure we all want some. We'd even like to
have a little extra now and then. Mom used to call it "Pin
Money". It seems like those days may be over for a lot of
folks. If you're reading this and thinking, "Great, another
whining liberal", let me set you straight. I don't label
myself a Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Republican,
Democrat, Independent or any other term you may use to
categorize everyone you don't agree with. I'm an American
and damn proud of it.
Don't get me wrong. I've been duped just like everyone
else. I've been a victim of a good job, my own home, a
functional family, and all the other things that make up the
core of the "American Dream". I say "victim" because while
I've been enjoying myself, America has been seized by a
political system that is no longer "By the People, For the
People". The "Special Interest" groups that lobby our
politicians have managed to get a foothold that may be very
hard to break. I believe we may still have time, before the
next election, to make whomever gets elected understand that
we will not tolerate leaders that are deaf to the American
public.
You've all heard the saying, "The Rich Get Richer". It's
not just a rumor anymore. |
