The Rich Are Richer, And We Owe More Taxes
Well, since the prez & both candidates are saying that we are no longer a capitalist society, but an elitist state-run beaurocracy that has its eyes only on the rich there's no more choices for citizens except third parties.
I am really sad that neither candidate is stepping forward to say NO, THIS IS WRONG. In a capitalist society the rich people who make mistakes go down. That's it, life happens. But, we are proving once again that this is not truly a capitalist society, just like it is not truly a democracy.
And life goes on. It does make it hard to face the little children who already owe the government $100,000 when they're in second grade just so people who are already rich can stay rich. And who knows how much each and every citizen will owe the government by the time they graduate high school? I know that they are being set up by our government to forever be enslaved to the rich, and I am being forced to teach them every single day that there is "liberty and justice for all." Yeah, right.
The sad thing is I still want to believe in the dream, even though it's becoming abundantly obvious that it was always simply a dream. I will die knowing that I could do nothing as a fellow citizen of this country to stop the constant sucking of the blood of my grandchildren by the corporations who truly own Obama, McCain, Bush, and the rest of the wimpy politicians who refuse to simply allow the deadbeat rich to go ahead and fold up.
What is the worst that could happen? The rich would stop raping us for mortgages and insurance that they have no intention of honoring. The huge Time-Life-Warner-AOL-Walmart collective would die out and mom & pop stores could return. Small business would flourish again. And that's exactly what the rich fear - the middle class. They don't fear workers. But they have extreme fears of people who can make daily decisions on how to run their own business. The scary folk whom they have systematically made disappear.
Life will go on. And someday one child will become man enough to stand up and JUST SAY NO to the rich. And then we'll have another martyr to celebrate every year in school.
