Does a vote this time around really matter either way? Obama seems like the right choice, but you and I both know some stupid, anti-black, white american idiot is gonna try and poss succeed in getting rid of him. Or he will get into office and have every thing he tries to do blocked by the rest of the gov.
It seems to me that the government is becoming more and more controlling and less and less helpful. I am of the middle class. The class that works their butt off just to get the rich richer and poor welfare. We dont' qualify for ANY government help and we dont make near enough to afford these outlandish gas prices and the price of food! But we still have to pay taxes. I was told if America could get back every dime that we have "loaned" out to other countries no one here in the US would ever have to work again. How is that for a nice slap in the constitution's face. Maybe it should say "and we are founded to help every single country but our own. And bless all of those that die for those other countries and may God help all of us here in the US."
I am utterly astounded by the way that taxes are told to be raised to "help" with a certain project only for that tax to remain long after they have recouped from the project. Then amazingly they need to raise the taxes again for yet another project. Every time taxes get raised so does the cost of living because EVERYONE in business has to raise their prices to accomodate their loss on the higher taxes. They promise more jobs but then raise another tax later on and leave minimum wage at an all time low!!! They raise the tax on cigarettes and alcohol because those aren't necessary for living, no but they are small little perks that help keep us sane and happy. I would rather people drink and smoke than do illegal drugs. But instead of buying cigarettes for $1.19 a pack now they are $3 a pack. And alcohol is outrageous. They said that the lottery was to help fund education but everytime I turn around another county or city needs more money to build a new gym or a new football stadium or a new basket ball court. WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY FROM THE LOTTERY!! WHY DO WE NEED MORE EXTRA-CURRICULAR CRAP AND NOT BUYING NEW BOOKS OR FUNDING TUTORS!!
My husband and I don't get food stamps, we don't get, medicaid, (ps insurance for myself and 1 child is $225 a month) and we don't get ANY kind of other help from ANY government affilitates. BUT WE PAY INTO THEM!!! Just so a 18 year old mother of two kids by two different dad's, although she isn't sure which two out of the ten that she slept with are the one's, can sit at home watching Jerry Springer eating hershey bars and steak dinners with free insurance and free utilities and lower than low rent while my husband and I bust our butts to get by. We still have to budget because our pay doesn't increase but the cost of living sure as heck does.
My husband and I have come to this conclusion.... if it isn't something wrong with our selves or our children WE DON'T CARE ANYMORE! We have starving people in our own country that need help. We have cities at war with each other that need help! We have natural disaters going on all over the US that need help! And where do they send the best trained to deal with those situations... off to other countries to save them. Because we all know we would hate for them to go under! All in the hopes that they won't raise up and attack us later on. (shh, but I have a good feeling THEY PROBABLY WILL ANYWAY BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE CLANNIES ARE FREAKIN CRAZY!!!)
I SAY BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, LET THEM HELP SAVE OUR HOME! IF THE OTHER COUNTRIES CAN SCREW AND MAKE BABIES AND CAN BUY, SELL AND USE GUNS TO KILL,THEN THEY ARE PLENTY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES JUST LIKE WE HAVE DONE AND ARE TRYING TO STILL DO! WE NEED TO FOCUS ON AMERICA BEFORE WE GO UNDER OURSELVES AND LET GOD HELP ALL THE OTHERS!!!!
(okay i feel better now.
