When Is Enough, Enough?
We've watched our jobs systematically outsourced at a phenomenal rate for the past six years, as ever more Americans are forced to take low wage jobs just to survive, and the number of Americans falling into poverty continues to rise.
We've seen deficits run up that go beyond setting new records, they are unheard of in the history of civilization, and the numbers just keep spiralling up and up out of control...our grandkids won't be able to pay off this debt!
We've shaken our heads at learning the sad fact that China owns a huge chunk of those record deficits, along with Saudi Arabia, and knowing that they could call those notes due at any time and turn our economy belly up makes us wonder whose side our Congress is really on?
We've made our opposition to the Iraq War known beyond any shadow of a doubt, with every poll showing that the majority of Americans have had enough and believe that this administration lied us into this war, yet the drums of war continue to be beaten loud and strong, as more and more of our people die in the quagmire of Iraq.
We've burned up the phone lines to DC, demanding accountability for an administration that more and more openly embraces illegal wiretapping and torture, yet instead of our Bill of Rights being respected and enforced, and instead of torture being outlawed and the Geneva Convention honored and the once higher ground moral standing of our country against torture being honored, Congress instead once again rolls over for this administration, gives them another free pass on their criminal actions, and gives them what they want.
Environmental protection laws have been dismantled, programs to help our elderly have been gutted, our votes have been hijacked via a system wide imposition of corrupted machines built by Republican supporting companies, wages have continued on a downward spiral as the American working force is systematically reduced to the status of third world country workers, and through it all, corporations rake money in hand over fist at our expense, not only at the cash register, but in government handouts, tax cuts, and kickbacks for outsourcing our jobs, at taxpayer expense.
We're gouged at the gas pumps, gouged at the department store, gouged when we pay our light bills, gouged when we buy groceries, and nothing is ever done.
When is enough, enough? What will it take before Americans wake up and fight back?
We are all paying the price for government corruption and Congressional selling out to corporate interests. I just wonder how high the price will have to go before Americans finally say enough is enough...
