We bow down at the altar of Global economics that shops US jobs overseas while dumbing down our standard of living (currently on credit); only a segment of our society shares the sacrifice of a discount war that sees taxes cuts for the wealthy, a presription drug plan created to protect pharmeceutical companies, crackdown on bankruptcies but not on the interest charged by institutions, subsidies for profitable multi million dollar corporations, million dollar salaries for CEO's but no increase in the poverty level minimum wage, and a bailout of big business while an administration allows the citizens to drift in the wind.
Add to the fact we are now so indebted to foreign countries we can't criticze their behavior or boycott their goods, making us beholden to them - the biggest danger in our federal deficit.
Bitter? Try Angry.
The Republicans have been successful at putting up smokescreens: family values, flag burning and gay marriage to distract us from the relevant issues of the day.
Thankfully in this great country of ours we can express our anger in the ballot box in November. I pray we don't get fooled again!
