Hello from the man in the trench. The man who goes to work everyday, the man who pays tax's. The man who is bamboozled by people in power. The man who supports the people in power with his tax dollar.
I was looking forward to retirement but as of this date I see it is not possible. Our politicians have seen to that. The well educated individual that we send to Washington to watch out for our interest has been looking out for the interest of lobbist and special interest groups and not the people of their districts . The Barney Franks and Paulsons have not taken the responsibility of the downfall of the housing market and the news media can not be trusted with the truth as they have forgotten what thier role is in reporting and investigation . Can someone explain to me why there is not a big up roar over the way Washington's power elite have driven us to the edge of ruin?
When will the madness end?
The people of the United States have the power yet they don't use it. What is the power? It is the power of vote! We put them in office we can vote them out of office. Why do we bow when a elected official comes into our view? Why do we fall all over ourselves when a elected offical walks by? Should it not be the other way around?
When did we allow the turnaround to take place? It's time that our elected officials to start listening and do our will. It's time for the American people to hold our Congressman and women, our Senators feet to the fire and let them know that at the voting pole how we feel, do a good job your in, bad job your out.
This is my first posting and I can assure you not my last. I will give the view from my end, the hourly worker who works two jobs to make ends meet thanks to our elected officials who will not listen to the blue collar worker.
