Today, as I watched the news, I saw President Obama set a wage freeze in place on all "Federal Employees". Now, I supported the President's election, but the idea of limiting salaries sounds a lot like something Nixon did. Except,.... at least he had the balls to freeze prices, as well.
I didn't hear the President talk about limiting Congress' salaries.... Or the fat cats in the Senate! Instead, he dumps the burden of bailing out the government on the Postal Workers, the Government Clerks, the people just like you and me, trying to get along.
While corporate America makes billions in profit, and rapes this country for every dime it can squeeze out of us,.... who gets saddled with wage freeze??? WE DO. Hey!! You want to freeze wages? Stop spending billions to finance wars we don't want or need.
How do you say "please Sir, I'd like another good buggering in my backside. I'm sure it will help the economy if you just keep ramming it home. God forbid those "Upper Crusters" should suffer the ravages of paying their fair shares."
While we,... the American People, foot the bill for useless, bullshit wars around the world, our President freezes our wages. Does he think that will help bring the "Global Economy" closer together? Oh yeah! That'll help put food on the table in your house.
I hear people rail about "Socialism". How a national health plan is the first step to the destruction of democracy.... Wake up.. Fools! Democracy is on its death throws as we speak. We not a Democracy..... we're a "Corporatocracy". We've had socialized health plans for DECADES!!!!! Ever heard of "The V.A."? Or,.. "Medicare"? In this country, those two programs have worked for years.
Your "Representatives" would like you to believe it's the road to wreck and ruin, but in reality...... It's your right to have decent health care! And, it shouldn't take someone making a huge profit for it to be available! What exactly are we paying taxes for? To have our wages frozen while we spend billions around the world? That's not the "change" I voted for, Mr. President. Where's the new jobs? Where's the green economy?
Are you sick and tired of our government screwing us while they smile in our faces? We have elevated our "representatives" to an elite stature in our society. But,.. do they serve us? Not unless you can grease their pockets with the by products of corporate greed. Capitalism is the new world order. It neither recognizes your rights, nor your laws. What it does recognize is our ability to pay for it all. Are you sick of it? So am I! I invite you to comment. You never know, it might be heard.
