The filth of politics in the United States is more than one can cleanse in a single lifetime. Republicans are taking a stand to maintain tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy at the expense of Social Security benefits, the poor and the needy! It makes no sense that the millions of individual, regular citizens who happen to call themselves Republicans are too blinded, foolish or just plain ignorant don't seem to be able to understand that their own party is working steadfastly against them too. It's all lies! They're all self-serving liars! I can't stand it. The Conservative base seems to be supporting their racist leaders with their votes for the lost illogical reasons. They seem to be more interested in supporting narrow-minded religious ideals, right-to-life platforms, immigration laws and corporate rights at their own expense! Why in the world would anyone keep voting in favor of the wealthy conservatives when they MUST know they're cutting off their own noses? Why indeed!? They can't all be that stupid...can they?
It's a downright pity that neither the Left nor the Right pays any heed to the other side. I get countless emails and other correspondence from the Left. What's the point? I already agree with most of the agenda. There's no dialogue between the two sides. It's the multitudes of Conservatives who need to hear and listen to the message from the Left but they're too blind and deaf to pay any attention...lest they feel manipulated. They'd rather starve to death than give in to a black President's desire to help ALL American citizens...themselves included.
Most people seem to enter politics because most of them are already wealthy and want to preserve and foster their own interests. They just don't give a rip about the American public.
We need change. Single term limits for public servants. No corporate payments or donations to those who are elected to represent the people. Government employees should not have their own brand of insurance or retirement benefits while the rest of us suffer. Outsourcing of jobs to poorer countries is a disaster. There's no longer a need for Americans to do anything but work in service industries. No more wars! Now, with the economy in the tank, fewer people can afford to even pay for those services. Our jobs have gone overseas to countries where the people are treated nearly as slaves and there is no interest in conserving the environment.
Of course, there are far too many humans on Earth. Those of us alive now can't be expected to just off ourselves to solve that problem...but we can curtail our reproduction before it's too late (if it isn't already).
It's all sickening.
Here's what I just emailed to Dave Reichert and John Boehner:
Leave my Social Security alone!
Get the Republicans to the table with a realistic attempt to resolve the budget crisis.
Stop the political games and face facts as they are. The economy is where it is because the Bush administration started two unnecessary and non winable wars, relaxed controls on the financial community, reduced taxes for the wealthy (which have NOT stimulated industry as suggested), and took the initial steps to bail out Wall Street and corporations. This was all the result of the Republicans. Taking a hard, inflexible stand now is ridiculous. Raise the debt limit, increase corporate and wealthy tax burdens, stop handing out American dollars to countless free-loading countries, get us out of the two ill-conceived wars, close corporate tax loopholes and leave our individual benefits intact! Do this for the American people and be honest about what is really the right thing to do! This talk of "smaller government" is all worn out and is just phony rhetoric.
As an aside - our country would be a lot better off without career politicians (such as yourself). We need (single) term limits and flat tax rates across the board. It makes no sense for anyone (not related) to ever cast a single vote for Republicans who are working so diligently to reduce the standard of life for so many of the "regular", tax-paying citizens of this country.
