I am about as far away from being happy with our dysfunctional and corrupt governing powers as I can be.
The way that You (Congress People, President, Czars) operate is far from tolerable. You are bankrupting our nation and continuing a cycle in which the interests of the people are subverted and neglected in order for you to be (however ironically) re-elected. Your pockets are lined with the money of companies that just like You seek to bleed every American dry until we are so far into debt and disparity that we willingly give our liberty over to You and let it be raped by the greed and excess of the "American Dream."
While we broach the, "American Dream," I would like to take a look at what that really is. Does anyone really know what the "American Dream" is anymore? Can you honestly say that the "American Dream" is something worth suffering for? Our perverted view of the "American Dream," is a system in which by the time we are graduated from College we are already at least $20,000 in debt. The next step is buying that nice shiny new foreign car to conform to what your new job's appearance is; the car is definitely over-priced and completely unnecessary and most importantly it lacks any lasting value to the purpose of life. After a while at your job, you are supposed to find a mate and have some kids. In that same thought you married and have a much to exuberant wedding that really means nothing half the time. After that you buy a house in the suburbs to fit in with the soccer moms that you will soon become "friends" with. Now lets say that after you have the house and you have your kids and are raising them you are at a modest $150,000 in debt to credit cards, home loans, and car loans. Lets forget about even saving for you kids college because after all you got through it all by yourself. And then 30-40 years later you die over-medicated and living in a retirement home because your children are to busy to deal with you. That my friends is what we call the "American Dream."
So there is the American dream, that is what our Government wants us to live because each and every aspect of that life contributes to the greed and depravity of our capitalist system.
In America we believe in "ME" not "WE"
We are all in this together aren't we? What else in life matters besides the love of a family and community? Can't this madness stop and we progress to a system in which every man, woman, and child is cared for in a way that breeds success and happiness to all? Is a society in which everyone contributes to the good of everyone a bad thing? Isn't Health Care and education something that everyone should be included in? Why must the greed of business men push our society towards a future in which no ones cares for their neighbors and everyone is dependent on their creditors rather than the strength and love of the family? What has maddened the American consciousness to the point that our life success is based upon the mountain of possessions that we acquire in our short lifetimes?
These questions are what needs to be asked to re-asses the, "American Dream," and the way the we accept the slaver holdings that have been placed upon us by the government but more impressively by Big Business especially the drug and Insurance companies that have entrapped the average American person in a web of debt and inaccessible help.
My parting word is that if America doesn't find a solution to it's many problems then America will fall to the hands of their own people or to the hands of our terrorist buddies and Chinese Bankers. Either find a way to help or find a way to leave this country that has become such a cesspool of greed, arrogance, and excess.
