Seeing the amount of money being raised and spent on politics
this election cycle, money still spent on wars with our neighbors, is obscene. Considering all the people who are still out
of work or forced to take jobs that are not a living wage, or about to have
their home foreclosed upon is proof the system is still broken for the common person,
the ninety nine percent. The social
safety net is being dismantled piece by piece.
We are all still paying the price for a corrupt few who
crashed our economy while lying to investors.
We are all still paying the price for politicians who care more about
money than helping people. We are all still
paying the price for those who continue to trash our environment for short term
gain.
I hope that the one percent who have enough good food to
eat, a comfortable place to rest from the days issues, health care and medicines
for when they are ill, entertainment that some of us can only dream of, will
consider what our leaders are doing and act.
This is an unsustainable course we are ALL on at present
unless we wake up and change. There is
still time... but will we change? Do we care about our children and those who will inherit this world we live on?
