Again the soul/you/tions would be fair tax accountability for the wealthy & the poor & put more of a burden on high end corporations & put a premium on those, espically, that use the resources that belong to John Q Pulbic, those that steal from us with the permission of Congress & pay a user fee that's akin to spit in your eye. Next free health care to those that can't afford it & free education to all, free child care to those that can't afford it & it should be offered as a company benifit to those that could make use of it just like a company offers health benifits, it should be mandated that they offer child care too, well maybe they could do a bit better than that existing model. Some kind of Welfare reform that would make it easier & fairer for the mentally challanged, the homeless & the families with children in need able to apply for assistence in a friendly user form. Put back the money that was there at the start of the "war on poverty" instead of the money hat's put into the "war on the world". Finally we got a wage increase that's a doller short & a day to late, my son makes that, thank Christ he's got a family instead of a Government to fall back on.

There it is in a nutshell.

I get pissed every time I think about big business, governemt & our taxed system (yes, that's a pun). The Government wants my money but when I was a baby & the milk dried up where the fuck was their tit. Today 56 yrs later they're still sucking the wind out of the mouths of the poor while shoving slogans of reform up they're asses & spening like a drunken sailor on things that profit only the rich & mighty, I can't seem to find any programs that are doing better, only ones that keep getting worst but gas prices are flying high while the industry's in a windfall situation posting the highest profits ever. The politicans are the only ones that'll keep themselves fucking warm this coming winter, you'll see. The only ones that have been sucking on that tit are the ones that are already very well off.

Do you think I'm a bit pissed about how this nation deals with poverty, you bet I am, I had to live it & be born into it & since the first day I sweated to earn a dollar I've been paying for this system ever since & still don't ever plan on seeing a return on it though I watch what I've paid for go into the pockets of them that don't deserve it instead of those the need it, like it was supposed to be, like they promised it would be, my taxes should go to benifit the good of this nation & it's people not it's corporations & they're CEO's. Since when did "We the people" & "for & by the people" turn into "we the wealthy & me the mighty" what's left for the "meek & weak" what happened to give us your "sick & poor". We could've been contenders instead we have become a nation of concubines & courtesans that is now our culture. When will this government marry it's people?
This government sees that it get it's support from every one in one way or form or another. Even from it's poor who don't or can't work, just think of them as the children of those that did once contribute even if you have to go back a few generations, weither they were slaves or fought in some war they & we all came from deserving familes at some point that gave it's due to this nation. So when will the nation as a whole say "in sickness or in health", for richer or for poorer", "in good times or in bad", "till death do us part"? Because for my money I see that the people of this country have been standing by they're promises all along, through wars, through taxes, by their sweat & blood & by their brains & backs. We've been nation building from the start & have never stopped, the poor & middle class machines have never broken down (What have the rich done for us, there's a thread worth posting) but this is getting a bit one-sided, they're dying, it's killing US. I'd say that by now the government & the industries that were made so powerful stop draining it's living foundation of it's support & start living up to it's commitment to stand by it's men, women & children as if they were it's life's blood & give back a bit of what's due it's people.

Pissed? I grew up poor & hungry, fought every day of my childhood life, worried & wonder what's around the corner, under educated, labored my way out & created a business that payed more than it's due in taxes, insurances, medical & legal fees, employed quite a few & took care of those that worked for me, paid into all the unemployment funds, the SS (sounds a bit Nazi) taxes, only to be run down by the IRS when I became hospitalized & driven into bankruptcy & have what income I earned for the next 10 years garnished unfairly. After paying into this country my whole life I end up collecting a lously check once a moth that doesn't even cover my family's monthly medical prescriptions, never mind my children's education, all the while knowing that if my wife's job or health becomes shaky that we'll be one of those that alot of the stat poster's here are complaining about, and I know that, that's the same for many of the blue coller workers in this country, one step away from a civil disaster.

Yes, I'm pissed. "War on poverty" my ass, asshole!
