Republican leaders are out in front on the war against the
poor and the lower middle class. Why do
the Republicans think that minimum wage earners make too much money? Rick Perry has created more minimum wage jobs
than any other Governor, but Eric Cantor and Michelle Bachmann think those
people are being over paid. Governor
Walker thinks that teachers, policeman, fireman, and state workers also need a
pay cut. Has anyone heard a Republican
speak out against the compensation of CEO's or Hedge Fund managers on Wall
Street? No, they harp on the over paid
workers who a struggling to get by. It
sounds like Republicans want our poor and lower middle class to be living like
3rd world workers. They won't rest until
workers put in 10 hours a day, 7 days a week just to feed their families. They
seem to want to turn back the clock on 80 years of gains by American
workers. The government is not the enemy;
it's just being used by the rich to keep the rest of us from moving up. It's time to take back our government and use
it to level the playing field to give all Americans a change at the American
dream. The Republicans have given the
rich all the power and created this American nightmare, let's restore this
country to the middle class and the poor to develop the American dream.
I think the divide between the wealthy and the middle and
lower class goes much deeper than we think.
I believe the wealthy think they are better and more entitled to a
better life than the middle class. Just from personal experience, from the
small town I live in, the wealthy stay hidden. They have their own club and
play eat and generally keep away from the rest of us. There are only 12,000
people in my town and I never see the families of the wealthy using the same
facilities my family uses. They will accept my business but not associate with
me. I think they resent the fact that middle class and even poor families can
find a way to send their children to college, I believe, in my heart, that they
resent the fact that we take vacations where they do or that we can afford a
new car. They seem to be upset that our children can rise above their station
and become lawyers, Doctors, engineers, and even President. I feel they look down on the rest of us and
would like to keep us in our place.
Getting rid of unions and decent paying jobs accomplishes part of their
goal. The attack on public schools is an attempt to deprive a good education to
you and your children For God’s sake don’t they care about the future of their
children and grandchildren?
Many of you will think I am nuts. I have had this feeling
about the wealthy for years and feel their dislike he rewards is theirs.
Climate change will not affect them. They will have the
money to move, buy food, and continue their lifestyle. You won’t. You must use
your vote to stop this disturbing trend.
We must all fight for a continuation of the struggle for health care and
better pay and working conditions. They won’t just give it to you. Look at history;
do not let it happen again. This time it may take a lot longer than 80 years to
gain some respect and a decent life.
Someday you will look back and say that crackpot
was right. Remember they are already sending your sons to wars for oil and pipe
lines .They do not sent theirs. How many of Mitt Romney’s five sons have served?
Answer NONE
