As long as the rich make the rules |
|
the poor and middle class will get screwed.
That's why we won't see REAL healthcare reform.
That's why the government will bail out Wall Street and not Main Street.
Don't fool yourselves. Nothing has changed. Nothing WILL change until WE, THE SCREWED get angry enough to do something about it.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Why should we expect NOT to get screwed? We've gotten screwed by rich politicians, Republicans and Democrats over and over again---yet, we keep voting for these rich assholes and expect things to change.
"Change" is just a word that has no meaning without action. "Change we can believe in" is a phrase that is conditioned on the people who make up the collective "we" in that phrase. If you are poor or middle class, YOU aren't included in the "we" of that phrase.
Nothing is going to change until WE, THE SCREWED rise up and CHANGE IT!

3. They've always made the rules, even when they weren't so obvious about it. |

4. Get lost with all your constant negative posts. What is your solution, braintrust? |
|
Where were you for the past 8 years? I will take a President any day who is trying to right wrongs than one who didn't give a shit.
So tell me. What is your fix? Who is your preference that is so great you won't critique? Inquiring minds want to know. Or do you just like to rail against the system, any system. Frankly, I'm pooped with that after 8 years.
Any chance of you trying to improve what we have?
NAH! :eyes:

8. Me or the OP? What is your solution? Instead of constant complaints, |
|
tell me. I'm all ears. I'm sick of hearing how worn down everyone is by what's going on, yet I hear no better ideas. Please, tell me how anyone has any ideas to overcome what's going on, if they're so pissed off. The constant kvetching gets old if there are no new ideas.
