Kick Us When We’re Down

Wow! I just saw the Obama budget proposal. What is wrong with this man? After boosting the fortunes of the richest people in the country with massive tax breaks, he now attempts to balance out the budget on the backs of the rest of us. I guess I should have seen that coming but I hoped that we still had Democrat as president.  President Obama is actually an undeclared hard-right Republican. He is off the chain and needs to check himself before he wrecks us all. The declared Republicans are not any better with their budget proposals. 

Obama is a disaster.  He is too conservative and too pro-business to be an effective President for these times in our nation.  I had only a small hope for him and that has finally been completely extinguished. Quite honesty I think he believes that if he out republicans the actual republicans, so called conservatives will like him. But they won’t because he is a black man and he can never be white enough for people who think that way. I fear for the future of our nation and the future of my family.  We have a democrat president who does not adhere to the principles of liberalism. We have a minority democrat party and republican majority in the House of Representatives. The Republicans are crazy and are only going to do wacky things. We have a Senate that has a democrat majority but many of them are heavily corporatist.  All and all, we have a government that is not for the people. In fact, our government is completely against the people. 

The preamble to the constitution states: We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We seem to always be able to provide for the common defense; the defense budget is 50% of discretionary spending. As for justice, ensuring domestic tranquility and the general welfare, we just don’t know how to provide that for our citizenry. Our government is supposed to support the people’s general welfare, all the people in the United States of America. Not corporations, or foreign government, or foreign militaries. When will we demand our rights? When will we say, enough is enough?   I think we never will. Too many people are too brainwashed to by years of listening to self-serving babble of corporations and rich people. We don’t think we have the right to demand our tax money is spent on us. No one should have to pay for an education in America. No one should be homeless in America. No should be hungry in America. No corporation should get a tax break for moving jobs to other countries and then selling their products back to us. The elderly should not live in cold homes and eat cat food. Bridges should not collapse, street should not be filled with pot-holes, teachers, firemen and police should not be fired to save money. Water should not be poisoned because it helps the profits of corporations. Any cuts to the welfare of the citizenry of America are unacceptable.

We need to decide as nation and as individuals that this madness has to stop. No more money to corporations! No more money spent on pointless wars! No more money to foreign governments. No more money spent on the immense failure called the “War on Drugs”! I want my money spent on me and my family and all the families in America and our welfare!

2011 election is coming up and we need a 3^rd party candidate to run for President. No more of this BS. No more looting the American people.  We need a populist president, populist congress people and populist senators. We need people who will be for us, not against us.
