The poll is from MSN Money, and it really is telling.
Our media try's to convince us everyday how great, wonderful, peachy and just plain fantastic thing's are in America today. Everywhere you look they want to try and convince everyone that the stock market is a true picture of "We the People" and because it is on the rise everything is great.
I beg to differ.
In my lifetime, and I will be 50 in a couple weeks, I have never seen our nation in such a state of dispair. Even during the early '80's when people in my neck of the woods (Pittsburgh), were ending their lives because of 25% unemployment, losing their homes, cars, and American dream of a decent middle class life, people still had hope, that we would leave this place better than we found it.
That thing's would turn around and this nation would be a shining light to the world once again.
Not this time folks.
Check out the perpetually unemployed, with so little hope of finding meangful employment, that they have given up. Or the amount of Americans on food stamp's. A new record every month.
This is what happens when Corporations and their lobbiest's control government. Yeah, we still have election's, but they are really just for show. Have you noticed how much has changed in Washington since President Obama has been elected? Yeah, me either.
I feel for my fellow American's. We have had our government stolen from us. Unfortunatly, short of something very drastic, getting it back seem's impossable.
To those that think my head's up my ass, rest assured, I've seen my proctologist, it's not up there.
