Dreams so they say, are for the fools and they let them slip away!. Old song, from Seals and Crofts way back in the 1970s there. But isn’t it so true!.

        As children we all have our dreams, I know some people who dreamed of being race car drivers, doctors, lawyers, scientist,and of course for boys the sports hero. Then girls dream of being housewives? I doubt that too, they share the same dreams  as their opposite sex counterparts. And they dream of more, they dream of having kids too. The average American dreams of money, riches, and peace, few dream of violence and hate and wars. The dreams of the world are the same for all nations children, to live healthy, to prosper and to be able to get along and share the planet. Sadly half the time that is not easy enough to do, because deep prejudice and discrimination is built into nations and people over decades and sometimes hundreds and even thousand of years. There is no avoiding what exists already in the world, but we can dream of a time when mankind will finally get together and forgive, forget and start over can’t we?.

        Like I said dreams are vital also to survival of the human race. Some dream of leading, some of following. Some dream of building, others of destroying, but we all do dream. Equality for all is the biggest dream, but as long as mankind is hindered by their fears, prejudice and discriminations, those dreams will never be fully fulfilled will they? We settle for what we can reach and call it happiness, when we know in out dreams there is more. That is why we dream, that is how we dream.

       Most children dream of being famous, being rich, being Doctors, Lawyers, or some other outstanding individual. Personally, I never dreamed of being more than I am or could really be, I somehow figured out, we can’t all have it all, but we can do what we can with what we have.

       My Dreams were kept simply and fulfilled. I grew older, got educated, worked for a living , busting my ass and back, and joined the military. I found a woman to marry, and had two daughters who I love completely and will love till I die no matter what. I wanted a decent home, decent furniture and them to be safe, healthy and well-kept. I wanted a home with a yard, a white picket fence, a swing set for them to play on, a dog and time to raise them so they could grow and be whatever they wanted to be. Of course not everything works out as you want it and things go astray.

       For my children, I wanted their dreams to come through and to see them smile, be happy and content and have children of their own to raise and love, It happened and I am proud of that fact each day I walk the earth.  Dreams should never be tossed aside or forgotten, they should be held on and strived for at all costs.

       I once had a dream also. I dreamed that the future will bring ways to communicate like never before. People will not pay attention anymore to skin color,ethics,religion, nor will they discriminate or pound upon each other anymore. I had a dream of mankind living together in peace, as I sailed the seven seas and  protected my country and the world. Dreams though take time to come true and happen, and of course as we all know mine never completely did come true.

        Dreams do get shattered and killed, and dreams sometimes even though small, or large, never make it to fruition. Mine never ended just got sidetracked and slowed and slowly forgotten, after I got injured at sea. A fall down a metal ladder aboard a Naval Ship and all is gone for dreaming for me. I now live in pain and stress, and my spinal injuries hurt and ache me daily. Yet, I say this to all where ever you are, what ever country, your from, whether man or woman, Caucasian, african american, or asian, or anything else, Dream. Dream big, Dream happy, Dream of advancement and peace!. Dreams are what make the world better for all!. Dream for all of us and make them come true!.

 

To balance the bad in the world there must be good somewhere!. We have volunteer institutions, volunteers, and we have charity drives. We have medical facilities that keep the elderly and the young alive. It is all a part of American‘s giving spirit and generosity. Is there the same out there towards us, NO!

       We joined World War 1 to help save the world from the oppressive society of the Germans at the time and then did it again in World War 2, not only fight Germany but Italy and Japan also.  Then when we finally did defeat them in both cases, we extended our hand and rebuilt them all. Why? So today, we can call them friends right and compromise with them as well as deal with their bold ideas and make the world work. Well, I think somewhere along the time line we have to stop helping the world and help ourselves.

      We need to learn also that policing another nation, and fighting their internal wars is none of our business either. We did this in two wars, that Americans never get credit for fighting and people are ashamed of admitting we were in. Korea and Vietnam both became stupid senseless battles where Americans lost their lives, for no reason other than to show we wanted to help and police them. Sadly millions of Americans are gone because Uncle Sam believes we were the mightiest nation and needed to step in. When will America learn?

       Today America is still spread out over the world, with troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and watching Iran. We sail the seven seas, we fly over nations and record all military fighting and we still try to walk gently and carry a big stick!, Why?

      No one came in to help America when we had a Civil War killing off thousands of fine Americans ourselves for an internal struggle.  And no folks, it wasn’t a Civil War originally being fought over Slavery at all, read up on it clearly, it became that after Lincoln Declared The Slaves Free. So no one helped Americans then did they? No one comes to our rescue in a financial crisis, or bails out our economy except us. No Germans, French, Italians, Greeks or anyone else goes oh look America is hurting why don’t we lend them a hand and give them billions and assistance. Yet we do it for everyone else, Why?

        A part of being American is a generous spirit of caring and giving and all Americans know it as does the rest of the world when they look at us. Are Americans correct to be this way or are we just blinded by our own pride, and foolish enough to think others will care?  You won’t see Great Britain doing all we do, Germany or Italy or Russia nor any of the countries we rebuilt or helped limp back to health after they created World Wars and Police Actions and more within and beyond their own borders. Why do we?

       Solving America’s current crisis will take a Politician with courage, and guts, and balls. We need a Politician who can look at the rest of the world and tell them, we can’t live by the tariff and trade laws now set, we need them changed. We need to pull out of War Zones where there is no firm business of ours to be in and bring our troops and supplies home. Use all those billions of dollars we spend policing, and fighting others wars on rebuilding America’s Economy, America’s job market, America’ Health Programs and taking care of our own population and people. Lets end homelessness and hunger, lets teach our children in schools to be the best they can be, lets prepare them for the hard cruelty and honesty of the world and teach them to work and fight for what they believe in a smarter way. American’s need to stop babysitting and supporting the world and start to take care of our own.

        Ok that said and out-of-the-way, Conrad Murray‘s Trial for the Death of Michael Jackson will be doing closing arguments today. Now I have heard some say he will not be convicted at all, that should be bullshit also. What kind of closing argument can a defense of this man have? Are they gonna deny he gave him drugs, are they going to deny he didn’t pay attention when he should have, are they gonna deny he took a contract for $150,000.oo dollars per month to administer, and provide drugs to a man, already addicted to drugs in someway? I doubt it. Character witnesses aside, no matter how good you portray Conrad Murray as a Doctor and person prior to his treating and taking on Jackson as his sole patient, it does not excuse him for breaking medical standards, ethics, and more by providing what he did to Jackson, that’s number 1. Number 2, why would any responsible, respectful Doctor take on such a contract, if not just for money?. Time will tell as the Trial rushes to a close with Closing Arguments today. I do know that if Murray gets off free, the Jackson family will sue for wrongful death anyway and he shall never be a Doctor again. What Medical Licensing Board is going to allow this man to practice again, after all this is public and would you let him care for you? So can you tell which way I feel about this one!.

       My final thought for the day, November 3rd, 2011. In November of 2008, Americans voted for President Obama to be President. While I agree he was the best choice between himself and Mr. McCain, I don’t think he was the best choice overall. I think the Democrats fell to internal pressures by African Americans and others to choose Obama over Mrs. Clinton. And although that is the way politics is played, I think many now know the truth is, it should have been the other way around. We are all welcome to our opinions and free speech and this is America, I voted Obama only because Mrs. Clinton was not given the nomination. Facts are facts is all I can say. I say this today as we now begin a new Presidential Election cycle to last the next twelve months: Americans before you choose a President by sex, color, race, or anything else, choose one who can lead, one who has ideas to improve the country, the economy and who will always be respected. Don’t let any feelings of prejudice, discrimination or anything else get in your way. Be aware and listen closely to all of them before you choose this time.

 

      Yesterday officially the defense rested its case and so the trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor closes. Each step along the way of this trial there have been highlighted events, of both, Michael’s life and the treatment he received by Dr. Murray or the lack of treatment, depending on what you believe. So, I shall give you my view of this Death of The King of Pop Trial.

       Michael Jackson began his fame  as a African American boy, singing with his brothers. Back then Michael sang like a bird, laughed hard and gave performances to this day still talked about. His and his brothers albums and records thrilled many young aged americans and the world.  Their music and songs lit up Motown and the music business, like a rocket blasting off does a launch pad. Then time flew by and Michael grew older and more estranged from the public and his family.  His skin tone changed, his appearance was altered by surgery and make up and tattoos.   Next we see a grown up Michael, as a teen and young adult,  lighter skin tones and longer straight hair, doing Beat IT and other songs he make classic in American Music.

      Then suddenly he disappears once more from the public scene and returns with a whiter face and skin, tattooed eyebrows and liner around his eyes, his nose changed and costumed each time in public like he is living in WonderLand. We find him charged with child molestation and a nervous wreck facing a trial by his peers. No such luck folks, although acquitted finding his peers wasn’t easy and it was never done.

      He married, Lisa Marie a childhood friend of his and Elvis‘s daughter cementing his claim as the King of Pop, even though the marriage does not last. He then marries Dr. Klien’s assistant Debbie Rowe and has her give him children. So far he is doing fine, right?

       But his addictions started way back in the Pepsi fire in his hair and the fixes the Doctors gave him then. Demeral addiction builds slowly as does addictions to pain pills the longer you take them the longer it takes to get off of them. By the time we see Micheal Jackson in 2009 he has been charged with crimes and acquitted, he has been surgically altered to look completely different from who he was born as, and his actions are indeed slowed by drugs and age.

      Now the courts must give a case to the jury. The jury must decide did Conrad Murray as a Doctor, commit involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, through medical malpractice? I say the blame goes two ways for Michael’s death and demise. Both halves are guilty in many ways. Michael shopped for a doctor to get him what he wanted and he paid him by contract $150,000.00 a month to supply him with what he wanted and to administrate it nightly and daily to him safely, so he could sleep and feel good when he awoke. No one pays a Doctor that kind of money and then makes him administrate it all in their bedroom, unless what he is doing is wrong and just to feed his own addictions. No one has this kind of contract with their Doctor and no Doctor who lives and works by the medical and legal ethics and standards of a Doctor takes on such a job. So both are guilty of something in their own right, Michael and Conrad Murray.

      As the Jackson’s await like the rest of us, the verdict the jury shall give out within weeks, they still refuse to acknowledge any blame Michael had in his own death. The Jackson’s are indeed a loyal, loving caring family and will deny Michael did anything wrong till they all die. But the bottom line is indeed, simple, Michael paid a Doctor to administrate the drugs and control him. So Michael was wrong to even be requesting such a thing, never mind paying for it.

        But, on the other hand a Doctor who should have known better, who broke all standards of care and ethics by administrating this at Michael’s request is wrong too. You don’t just give controlled drugs to addicts or patients, and walk away, nor do you ever administer the drugs he did, in a home environment. So in the end I believe Conrad Murray should at least, lose his medical licenses and spend at least sometime in prison or jail for the Death of MJ.

 

 

      November has arrived and the snow from October still coats the ground. We are now a few simple weeks from Thanksgiving again, and the Holidays are right around the corner. The stores are putting on lay away sales, the decorations are starting to come out and up. Amazingly each year the holidays start earlier why is that?

        November is going to bring the end to the Conrad Murray Trial. If Doctor Murray is convicted of this crime he shall be a Doctor no more. As I see it, any Doctor who supplied a person who was an addict with drugs on a constant basis, in their home and then ends up with the person dead, deserves not to be a Doctor. Strip the Medical Licences and give him some time in jail, it’s the least one can do to a Doctor this dumb, just for being dumb. Why would any Doctor, take payments of $150,000.oo a month to provide, administrate drugs to an addict anyway? Is Doctor Murray that gullible that he was bamboozled by Jackson into doing this, or is he indeed crazy or greedy or both? Which ever it may be, he shall more than likely be found guilty.

     The cold and chill has hit the air and causes many of us to stare, at the white stuff on the ground, at a low and distant kind of sound. At the lights coming out for the season ahead and the signs are economy is going dead. The stores are ordering less you see, power loses are piling up all around and the politics of the day, should be turning it around, but all it does , is like Washington and Congress get bogged on down. Sadly the America Economy is not getting better, it is getting worse.

Politics it seems never changes in America, and it definitely does not have a bright future for us all.  As we barrel ahead in time, we next face the elections of 2011, and the possibility of changing it all. When you go into the polls this year I suggest, you start removing many from office who do nothing for anyone. Lets boot out those who know nothing about compromise and put in their opponents.  As one person put it, if we start making the politicans do what all Americans do, work for a living we may get a lot further. People in the Senate and House of Representatives over two terms should be booted out for not helping America or Americans. They are too busy voting their own benefits and pay raises through and having fun at the taxpayers  costs. We need changes now.

       Next, lets talk about this, No Such Thing As Global Warming?  Ladies and Gents take my advice it does indeed exists, the signs of it are world-wide. tsunamis, earthquakes, weather system changes, planet axis shifting and more. I am not going to put the whole thing on mankind’s back, but I am gonna say our polluting the atmosphere and pulling the needed minerals and materials out of the earth does not help it survive. Al Gore was not wrong, nor was he overstating it in any way. Global Warming does exists and will continue to if not addressed by mankind.

       Closing Argument for today! It is basically one good question for the techno-people and the old-fashioned publishing industry. Will the invention of electronic devices, like tablets, computers, e-readers and the invention of e-books, put the publishing world in trouble and maybe out of business?  If you can hold a tablet or an e-reader and read all you want from the internet, and  that includes news, articles, magazines and books, then what will happen to the writing industry over time? Are we coming to the end of the written word as a vehicle of expression, because it is all becoming electronic?

 

      

      

     When I was a young boy, I was forced to go to church as a requirement by my mother for many years. Mom was a Roman Catholic, but my step-father was a Albanian who was not. Over the early years I would hear them argue religion and not really pay attention, because we were forced to do as told.

       I would attend Sunday School and Church as told till I hit 12 years old and had already made my confirmation and communion too. I even have pics of me dressed in the red and white robes.

        Then at 12 years old my step-father told my mother ok they did as you wanted long enough, let them make their own choices. So we did and all five of her kids choose no religion and no church. Of course my mother stopped attending at the same time. This was in the 1960s, and the church had so many problems it became a pain to society and as far as I can see still is today. Charges of molestation of children by Priests are everywhere, robberies of church coffers, and more. Sadly, no one can change what has happened. But the Church no matter what religion, does teach a lesson all should learn, to pray and worship a god, one does not need a church, the good book says it all, He Hears and Sees it all. So we all learned to pray at home on our own in our own ways. That was our decision as 12 year olds, to each their own I guess!.  The churches grow and multiply daily building new and pushing harder their points of view on many subjects and each Sunday morning you can see many come and go from a church anywhere. They clean up get dressed, and then trundle off to a church to listen to sermons and sing hymns and pray. Each Sunday places a little more money into the coffers, collection plates and baskets of the churches. Then the Churches use this money to pay their bills, feed their people and build more and more. Sadly, my belief in God is different indeed, I believe he is everywhere, period. So, when I see die-hard, religious people going to church each day to confess their sins, or to pray or do work for the church as volunteers, I just shake my head and walk away. I don’t hate the church, or religion, I just disagree with all it does to its own parishioners. In the end, God Bless us all is all I can say.

 

      Winter seems to be about to arrive for 2011. It just seems to me like the one from 2010 just passed. Amazingly snow seems to be headed here once more and it is hard to believe. We lived through last winter barely, many Americans here on the East Coast USA. The snow piled so high few of us, had anywhere left to snow throw it when done. Why is this happening to  the weather patterns these days? Weather patterns have changed for sure over the past decades due to climate, axis,pollution and of course Global Warming.

       Many laughed when former Vice President Al Gore, ranted and raved about pollution, global warming and the changing climates. Yet here it now faces all of us daily, the earth is changing due to mankind’s interference in its nature. We pollute and we use up resources, then we change the atmosphere by adding chemicals and launching into space, gas engines and oil burning. There has to be a better way, or mankind will die off one day. The human body as well as the planet we live upon can only take so much folks. Lets wake up now while we can and save the planet and  human kind.

       Next subject after we deal with the weather is how do we deal with the political mess, we call an upcoming election. Republicans have put up for  candidates, one of the most silly list, I have ever seen in my life. They are asking us to vote for candidates that have no idea what to do about the job problem, the economy in general and who want to tear down Medicaid, medicare, and social security. Why? It’s all not necessary and they know it too, if they want to play with something and change plans, change the plans that will affect job growth and the economy, taxes, tariffs, trade agreements. Change the laws and allow American Companies to afford to make american products again here in the good old USA. raise the taxes and tariffs on imports, lower them on exports, balance the trade agreements and laws to favor our own not others.

        Talking about helping, lets talk about why we continue to help other nations on this planet who hate us!. Why do we continue to stick our noses into countries we really have no business of being in. Get us out of Afghanistan, get us out of Iraq, get us away from Iran, they all hate us for who we are and our basic political, religious beliefs. We have no business fighting their wars, policing their nations and sacrificing our military personnel so they can have a shot at freedom or creating a government of their own. They want ours dismantled, destroyed and America to die off, because we interfere so much and so well. Don’t try to assist these nations any more, they would never assist us.

        That said onward to News and the broadcasting of it. I am noticing bias on the basic news channels and reports in many areas. Why should a news station or newscast be bias for or against anything folks. Lets just report the facts, don’t take sides and let the American public decide what is right or wrong, OK?.

         Next I hear cries and moans, bitching and complaints on Justice in America. Well, America’s Justice system while not one hundred percent perfect, is still the best in the world. I know many want Doctor Conrad Murray convicted and locked away for the death of Michael Jackson, but folks, did you ever stop to think, MIchael hired this guy at one hundred and fifty grand a month, to supply him with drugs, and safely administrate them to him?. So Michael wasn’t anymore right then Doctor Murray who failed to properly do his job. The blame game began because Michael was who he was The King of Pop right? The Jackson family is as close to an American Dynasty as the Kennedy’s were in the 1960s, so if Doctor Murray is gonna save his ass from jail he will have to find a way to pull them off their pedestals. I doubt he can do so, nor can he prove himself fully innocent in the case. No matter what he was the Doctor and in charge, not the patient Michael, and he no matter what should have controlled the equipment, the drugs and the administrating of all medicine and drugs. Not Michael Jackson who had limited or no medical knowledge.

       Final thought for today. Welcome to Halloween Weekend 2011. As you prepare to have fun in costumes and Trick and Treating, please remember to stay with your children. Please remember to watch them carefully, and check all the treats they may collect.Please remember it is fun for the kids to Trick or Treat and a job actually for the parents or adults who take them out. The world is a dangerous place out there. too many weirdos, creeps and crazies. Please don’t allow your kids to eat anything until checked, do not allow them to wander alone and do not forget your jobs as parents. Thanks, and I hope all have a fun, healthy, candy filled and Happy Halloween!

 

The Beagle Problem- A Story by: William M. McCurrach.

     

The Beagle Problem

 

Back when you’re a child, and you’re lonely,
a parent might get you a pet, well I was given a beagle, cute little guy when
he came to me. My step-father brought him home one day I don’t remember his
name or what exactly I called that beagle but, I grew attached to him over time.
Well, dad may have given me that puppy but he definitely wasn’t in love
with him, like I was. Dad fed the dog of course and let me keep him as long as
I walked him. It was me and my little beagle against everyone and everything,
until the poor dog messed up and caused dad a problem.
It was a day we were going fishing, and dad loaded the fishing poles and
equipment in the trunk and then the cooler filled with cold drinks and snacks.
He smiled at me and said let’s go fishing! Of course I wanted to go and jumped
in the car, taking my beagle along. Dad looked and smiled, and said I hope he
behaves, the dog he meant of course, not me.
Dad had a problem with my beagle, he didn’t like the fact the dog liked
to dig. My beagle dug holes in the back yard and dad had to fix them. He wasn’t
happy about that one for sure.
We drove to that lake to fish in dad’s Cadillac, bright yellow with
green cloth interior and in great shape. As, we drove along, my beagle, started
to scratch at the backseat, and dad told the dog no, in a harsh tone. The dog
never understood of course and thought it was playing, dad didn’t take it that
way when we got to the lake.
When we arrived at the lake, I got out of the car with my beagle and waited
on dad to unload everything we needed of course, I was still young. Dad
unloaded the cooler and snacks, and set them down, then the fishing poles and
tackle box and bait. Then as I watched, dad, unload a piece of chain, duct tape
and an item that looked like a lead doughnut. I was puzzled, what that was for?
Dad looked at my beagle and then at his backseat of his Cadillac, and his face
changed to anger. He looked at the dog, then at the seat and back and forth he
went, dad was mad, the beagle had dug a hole in his backseat. That was it for
my poor beagle.
Dad turned and grabbed my beagle by the back of its neck and held him
high helpless. The poor dog yelped and cried but, that didn’t bother dad, the
dog ruined his Cadillac.
I watched in terror as dad, took the duct tape and taped my beagles
mouth shut, and then taped his front paws together and his back ones too. Then
he looked at me and said damn dog will never ruin another thing for me. He
reached out and grabbed the chain and weight and wrapped the chain around my
beagle, the next thing I know, my beagle was heaved by him into the lake. I
watched as my beagle struggled against the weight, but he never came back up,
just bubbles. Dad had solved the problem of the beagle, it was his solution.
The dog ripped his seat up and that was the end of it. Dad said, well the hell
with that dog!  Never again did I have a
dog or pet, and if I ever thought of one, my mind would replay dad’s solution
to his torn seat by my beagle and I forgot any thoughts of having a pet. As Dad
put it damn dog gave me a problem so I got rid of it. Sadly, he never mentioned
it again, and I knew then, my dad was a cold hard bastard.
Dad’s way of handling things was through violence and threats. Because
when I spoke up, asked him about my beagle and why he did it, dad, didn’t
explain a thing, but he did get angry at me. What he said was, I pay for you to
eat, sleep, drink, dress and go to school, and if you think I am going to let
you ruin my life, well, I will shoot you and bury you in the backyard and it
won’t affect me one bit.

Because of my beagle and how dad handled it earlier,
and what he said to me after, when I was a grown man and dad was dying, I
refused to go anywhere with him. I didn’t want to be anywhere near, never mind
alone with him due to his cold ways.

The sad part is the dog was gone and I lived with nightmares or this drowning and fear for my whole life as long as this man was around.

      Like the winds that whisper thru the trees in the middle of a dense woods in October, my words whistle through and are never understood of heard.  There is an old saying, if a tree falls in the middle of the woods does it make any sound? Well, if you write a blog and no one reads it does it make a bit of difference in the world? I can answer to both the noise is being made but no one listens because it affects no one in anyway.Such is the case with my blog I believe. few read or hear what I say.

        If I complain, I am called a whiner, if I ignore I am ignorant, if I am foolish or stupid shame on me. Isn’t it funny how the only people really heard in the world are the ones with the loudest voices who scream all the time?. The average human being is ignored except by the few who care for them. Funny huh?

       I have watched trials and seen convictions of people for crimes they committed on tv. I am watching The Murray Trial myself, daily, and if anyone tells me this poor guy who was duped into being Jackson’s supplier and administrator will not be convicted well I say bullshit. The deck is stacked against the guy as i see it. Plus in the end, with the King of Pop dead and now long gone, the real point is why would a Doctor, provide such drugs and services unless it was just for the money? No idea, because it certainly was not your normal Doctor/ Patient relationship.

        That said and done, I suppose I should think about going back to finishing or at least writing more of my story/ book I started. My only wonder is will it ever sell, or would anyone want to read it. I guess unless I finish it and attempt to sell it I shall never know. In my case nothing is the normal, so the story will probably sell, but after I am dead and gone.

        Writing is an art and a way to express emotions, feelings, hopes and fears. It is also a way to face facts and work things out. I think most writers, write for the purpose of reliving what may be causing them inner turmoil, and i am no exception for sure. So a writing is what I will do I suppose.

      Politics would be my next subject. Not only politics but the economy and the status of the USA. America god bless us, is in a shambles today due to past mistakes, Presidents and stupid decisions. As Americans we need to be very careful who we put into office, both in the White House and Congress. We have made foolish choices not based on what is important to the country and our way of living and status, but on personal opinions and maybe even racial divides and statuses.

       I served my country as a solider, sailor for sixteen years, in the 1970’s and 1980’s I did sixteen years folks between three services. I am proud of serving my country and I am proud of being a Disabled Veteran who did so also. I suffer from injuries sustained in the service and I shall always do so, but I do so proudly. I have the following conditions: six herniated discs in my spine that go in and out of alignment constantly, bouts of PTSD and nightmares, sleep apeana,arthritis,and more, But at no time, do I beg for unneeded help or assistance and neither do millions of other Veterans who served their country. So please don’t take aim at the few benefits us Veterans get in Disabilities, at our Social Security that keeps us alive. Please don’t attack the helpless and ask us to sacrifice more, take some from the rich who continue to enjoy living high on the hog at the expense of us. We paid our dues, can’t the rich help and pay theirs?

       As my hands cramp in agony and pain, my back aches from the cold and hurt, and my breathing comes in gasps at times, I ask: Isn’t it time the United States asks the rich who benefitted so much from the Veterans who served so long and now ache in pain,actually pay their fair share to keep America going and help out?  I ask Congress, the President and the so-called leaders of this country, Do you really think we Veterans stood for this country and fought where needed as well as sacrificed as we did for ourselves? I know as a Disabled Veteran, when I stood watch at sea or on a base, or did anything in a military uniform, I did not do this is for me , I went and did this for those I Love at home and so they can live and laugh in the Land Of the Free, not for me. So my parents, siblings, children, relatives and friends can live free is why I did it you see. So when you sit down and eat and sit in Congress or the White House and go all of America must make sacrifices, stop and think, when you ask middle Americans, or lower-income Americans to sacrifice more, haven’t we finally done enough?

        Wareen Buffett, Donald Trump and others all said the same thing: We wouldn’t mind paying extra because we have it. Let them finally contribute with the one thing they have money and help our government and nation back to our feet.I say it is time Congress stop looking at Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Disability payments of the lower class or middle class, or disabled and start looking at the rich, and well to do to pay more. Isn’t it about time, the rich who claim to want to help actually get to really help?
