Not a joke, jape, jab, or anything else.

Just a question.




Thank you.

1. Right now it seems like it's bs they sold to us while sucking the lifeblood out of us
A way to redistribute the wealth of this country to the richest at the top?

2. Well before the Reaganomic American way of life took a vise like
hold in America....I always believed it was every American could have a good paying job, strive to get a home, build a family.

But thanks to the Neocon, racist, homophobic, anti-middle class movement America became a nation of the have's and have nots. For those that are not in the rich corner too bad, if you are in the rich corner and you break the law that's okay because the law is not going to pursue you. If you are sick with Aids well it's a gay disiese so too bad. Oh yea lets not forget the Repuglican push for Americans to live on credit and beyond their means.

Oh I forgot the Rethuglican American way of life only applies to Christian, heterosexual predominantly white folks in America. Not the rest of us....

I blame the Repuglicans for the downward spiral of "The American Dream".

3. Yet many Christian, heterosexual predominately while people are suffering right now too.
Having said that, I'm in otherwise full agreement with your post. But they, those in power, have not cared about families or anybody else. Only themselves. Even if they break their own families.

5. I agree everyone is suffering
I can't wrap my mind around those that are suffering and yet they still support the very thing that has destroyed their lives.

4. Yes I do too
I want to see some jail time for the ones responsible who are still with us. Piss on the graves of the ones who have passed on.
