WAKE UP AMERICANS

IT IS SO EASY TO CONCENTRATE JUST ON ONE THING.  BY THAT I MEAN THE DEFICIT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHAT REALLY NEEDS ATTENTION IS THE FACT THAT OUR PRESIDENT HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY THE GOP IN EVERYTHING HE HAS TRIED TO DO. TEA-PARTY [ME-PARTY] THEY ARE A JOKE. THEY WANT YOU TO THINK THAT ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ,WHEN IN REALITY ALL THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT IS THE ELITE UPPER CRUST.OH NO ,WE CAN'T RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH. THAT'S NOT FAIR. THE RICH ARE CREATING JOBS FOR THE POOR. WHEN IN REALITY THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP CREATE MORE JOBS.WHERE IS THIS COUNTRY'S MANUFACTURING BASE? OVERSEAS,WHERE THE RICH DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOURLY WAGES BEING TOO HIGH AND THERE IS MORE OF A PROFIT THAN WHEN THEY SELL THEIR PRODUCTS, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE, HERE IN THE GOOD OLD USA TO YOU.THESE ARE THE SAME PRODUCTS THAT YOU USED TO MAKE WHEN THERE WERE FACTORIES IN THIS COUNTRY. PLEASE ,PLEASE DONT START TELLING ME IT IS THE UNIONS THAT FORCED THE JOBS TO GO OVERSEAS, BECAUSE WITHOUT THE UNIONS WE WOULD HAVE DEPLORABLE WORKING CONDITIONS IN THIS COUNTRY.  WHAT ABOUT OUR MIDDLE CLASS?AS FAR AS THE GOP IS CONCERNED THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN FOR THIS MESS ,THEY  ARE THE ONES THAT ALLOWED OBAMA TO BECOME PRESIDENT SO LETS PUNISH THEM AND THE PRESIDENT BY BLOCKING EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HELP THE ECONOMY AND CREATE JOBS, NEVER MIND THE POOR AND DESTITUTE!,                           

The American Debt

Think about how we could fix our debt problems. How about reducing the amount of money we give to foreign countries as aid? It's billions of dollars.

Is that so we can have them as our allies and friends? Do you buy your friends? I think not.

Outside our country's borders, they do not like Americans meddling in their affairs and there is a general dislike of us and our political system.

More often than not we are sending aid to governments and their military while the population in those countries see no benefit. In essence, we are buying governments and alienating the population. WOW.

Here is a dollar (or should I say 80% of what used to be a dollar) would you be my friend?

So lets stop the foreign aid and bring the money home along with our troops.

I wonder how many countries would still listen to what we had to say or what we wanted if we stopped giving them money. We are giving away our hard earned tax dollars.

(I need to stop saying 'we' because I am pretty sure most Americans don't want that to continue so I will say our elected leaders)

I just can't believe the American people keep re-electing the same congressmen over and over. It gives them absolute control over our lives. They don't listen to the average American and then claim it's what the people want. It's total bull.

Do you think, for one minute, people on social security want their benefits reduced or altered?

Why not raise taxes on the wealthy? It would certainly help the deficit.

And do you really believe if we don't raise the taxes on the wealthy, it will really create more jobs for Americans? Take a look at your states unemployment rates. The wealthy dropped the ball on creating more jobs. Let's raise their taxes. It can't get any worse.

Another thing, in case you've forgotten, the majority of congressmen are included in the wealthy category. And there's the problem.

Well, enough for today. Please tell me what you think.
