Everyone just wants to be somebody

Everyone, black, white, republican, democrat, young and old.
People all just want to be the best they can be. The rich want to please daddy, ( most of the time), the poor want what the rich have but know its not in their family history, and strive for the next best thing. What I'm trying to say is, at heart we all strive to be the best in the situation we're given, and that is the best we can do. We need to get away from all this propaganda and learn that we are more alike than different

I guess I'm just jaded by all the hatred around me. Hopefully I won't become like them.

What propaganda? Is this the Koch or Adelson funded propaganda? The wealthy have money for that, and they call it nightly news and morning pablum.

The rest of us poor and shrinking middle class, well not so much.

If the Kochs or Adelson had anything in common with the least of us then they wouldn't be trying to buy an election; which will harm all but the few, powerful and stinking rich.

Now is that propaganda or truth?

Why bring up their humanity when we have already had eight years of Lil Boots? We know what they are like and what they are all about.

They aren't us.
