My viewpoint on the real feelings of the working man
Published on March 9, 2006 By Paden Lee In US Domestic
Does your head ever feel like exploding? Well, Mine Does!
Is there any one out there, beside myself, who feels that nearly everyone in Washington, D.C.is corrupted.
Every day we hear about one Shady deal after another. Senators fly free on Corporate Jets and yet claim that they are independent thinkers. Former appointees from every administration lobby for Foreign Governments. Lobbyists wine and dine all 535 members of Congress on a daily basis and ask for and receive their well paid for favors.
We the commoners have NO voice in this government what so ever.
We are spoon fed the candidates the two parties deem controllable enough for a place in the oligarchy. For you who don't know this term, Webster's Dictionary defines it, as a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes. I would say this comes very close to describing what our government has become.
It is time for this Country to wake up and vote for some third party candidates. If we keep letting these corrupt career politicians stay in power sooner than later we are going to be at the point of no return.
The government has let nearly every manufacturing job be sent overseas, mainly to China and India. From China We import 250 dollars in good for every 84 dollars we export. A sweet deal for China. The government is borrowing money from China to fund its out of control spending and who is going to repay it. Not the workers, there jobs will soon be gone.
I hear everyday that the economy is great. Just let oil hit 100 dollars a barrel and we will see how great our economy really is... Wake up and smell the stink coming from Washington, D.C.

Great rant, I very much agree - particularly with the above statement. There is illusion of choice in America under the two-party system.

It's not just Washington, but the government (all departments) in every state. It is the infection of greed for money and power over people by brainwashing by our various societal institutions -- all in support of the Hegemony. We've all been living the illusion. What the bush admin has done is to be so very corrupt as to shatter the illusion for many.

So what do you do about something that has infected everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!

It will take nothing less that the concerted effortd of the people of the world to turn this monster around. What are you prepared to do? What are you prepared to sacrifice?
