I keep trying to figure this out.
This ugliness which creates this domino effect on our nation.
The layoffs that don't end. The corporations banking money offshore.
The wealthiest of our nation not stepping up to the plate to help save this country, instead worrying about their own taxes.
The middle class with splinter issues like abortion, believing our own President is the devil, and throwing their lot in with those who ruined our country for the past eight years.
The Republicans and Democrats who fight for their "party" and the next election rather than working together , representing all of us to repair our country.
Our country. The United States of America.
Democracy. Now means the right to charge citizens loan shark credit card interest. Steal 401K pensions. Layoff because they can. Demand pay cuts because they can.
Refuse loans because they can.
Repossess overinflated priced homes, made that way through the collusion of banks, realtors, builders, county officials and mortgage companies-because they could.
Inflate prices for utilities, groceries, gas, -controlling essential services such as health care-to the point of refusing services to the uninsured-because they can.
Once proud of it's Independence, loyalty, sense of justice and optimism, the United States of America has a runaway government rampant with corruption, lobbyists, personal interests-and a mass of citizens who no longer believe democracy exists, but rather they are powerless.
My 56 years of faith are shaken. I feel helpless. I have always believed .
How do I believe again?
