I wonder

I often wonder how stupid the average American is. The middle class wages have been stagnant since the early 90’s. Health care costs have eaten the savings of retirees. Banks no longer offer decent interest for savings. The media is biased in their assessment of facts and problems we face.

Republicans will not address any problems and see a chance to topple a President so they can dismantle the Great Society of President Johnson.  They also want to dismantle the New Deal started by FDR.

Will any of the Republican ideas help the lives of the poor and middle class? I think not.  I see an America where all workers are treated like Wal-Mart employees. 

I wonder why no one complains about the cost of health care or the Republicans reluctance to address this problem.  I wonder if Americans are really going to vote for a wealthy man who has off shore bank accounts and investments. I wonder if Americans are really going to put a party in charge that wants to kill programs like the ACA, Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps, Public schools, among others. I wonder why union members will vote for a party that wants to dismantle their unions. I wonder if people are listening to what the Republicans are saying to them. I wonder why Average Americans don’t seem to care that the Republicans seem willing to fight to the death to protect the tax cuts for the wealthy. I wonder if Americans can really be swayed by the lies of all the neg, ads that will flood the air ways this summer and fall.

I wonder if America has any future at all or if this is the start of the end of our great experiment.

I just wonder if we are really as dumb as I think we are. I may soon have that answer and that scares me.
