"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
Aesop
Thank you Mr. Change...
All I see everyday from your Change is people worried about what's happening next....not because we fear Change, but because we fear the direction this country is headed as we have seen the effects of your "change". People are rising up for the first time in a long time (1770's-ish maybe?) to speak out, but is it doing anything? I hope so. Universal this and that seems to be driving the other way. You take away, for instance, the independent health care companies (those capitalist pigs, right?) you are taking MORE jobs from the people. Because it's not just hitting the corporate big wigs, it's those people that do the small stuff. The people that have no say in your premiums or your coverage, but are just like you, trying to pay their mortgage, put their kids thru school, live the "American Dream". As depressing as this is,there is a new change...a new hope. I see it more and more, with the meetups, with the Project 912 supporters, #tcot and Tea Parties, American's are getting sick and tired. You take away everything from us, we have nothing to lose. I had a lot more I wanted to express, but have you ever been so frustrated you can't? My eyeballs are burning my body is shaking and I can't believe that we have been so blind to what's happening, and, possibly in my own personal world, these "changes" are coming down hard and fast, and not in a good way. So, rather than confuse my words and tangle myself up while I'm still seething, I'll let others speak for me till I can control the words.

“We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose.”

ReplyDeleteIf there is hope, wrote Winston, it lies in the proles.
ReplyDeletei agree 100%. You have such a way with words!
ReplyDeleteThis place was effed way before this new cat took office, to blame everything thats wrong on him is insane. The economy tanked before he was elected and healthcare has been screwed for a long time. Giving people options of government plans, like the ones that senators have as they speak out against these same plans is not making us communists. He isn't perfect and I don't agree with some of his stuff, but he was not president when things went down the pipes. The two or three before him took care of that, and probably was set in motion before that. Doesn't matter if they are Dem or Rep, they are all being controlled by someone higher up on the food chain.
