Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.

April 2, 2012, The Dance goes on!


The Republicans and their primary are still at it in April 2nd 2012. Destroying and attacking one another like little children in a playground in kindergarten. They sound like cartoon characters in comic strip, I didn’t do it!, He’s lying,  etc. Why is the Republican Party allowing this to happen and don’t they understand the general election this coming November is being handed to the Democrats because of it all. I say this not because I am a Republican, nor because I am a Democrat, at heart I am an independent, one of those who can be swayed by the policies of a candidate if i feel strong enough.

        In the end come November, no matter how much money people give, donate it will not matter who it was given to. What will matter is issues and what the solutions for the ones America has as a whole that will make a difference.  America suffers because of past Trade Agreements made by prior Presidents and they ended up not for us but for other countries. We are sometimes far too generous for our own good as Americans and we destroy ourselves. It is time to turn this around, we need to rebuild our manufacturing base, we need clearer Trade Agreements so our exports out weigh our imports once more.

        We need to retrain the AMerican People, many of them are now blue-collar workers trying to do white-collar jobs, or have no jobs at all and are unemployed and their checks running out. We need to help them all by finding innovation, invention, rebuilding  and more, America can not sit still like it is today in the markets and the world.

        We don’t belong in any War Zones anymore we can not afford to be there policing and fighting someone elses war for them. We can’t enter a new war either the cost is too much to our military and our citizens, we drain our resources to help others and get nothing in return as they snub their noses at us. Are we stupid folk, or what is it about the American Government that makes them think we are the Big Brothers of the World here? We hide our poverty just like any other nation and we just do it better is all. People sleep on American Streets and Alleyways in boxes, walk the streets and stand on corners with signs, Will Work for food!. How much worse must America get before our politicians wake up and stop helping the world and help our own?

        The bottom line folks, no matter who wins in November, whether it be  Democrats and President Obama, or, a Republican, we need to get them to notice the real problems in America and take care of our own in the end.

         Here is a thought for all politicians, Stop all war and war efforts, and save all those  bucks and bring them home and put it all into housing and feeding our own homeless and hungry!. Try the idea, or take the money you save from helping other nations and fighting their wars and pour it into saving our job markets, or homeless or jobless. Now that would make a difference I bet.
