Do we even have a government anymore, or is corporate America running the show? We used to have unions in this country that would stand up to the corporate giants and speak on behalf of the people. Not anymore. Unions were all but busted in the Reagan years... the end result... we barely have any manufacturing jobs left in this country. We have seen the end of the days when a person graduated from school and went to work for one company and stayed there until they retired.... We see what corporate america does with pensions and retirement funds... can you say ENRON?
We used to lead the world in science and discovery.. now our health care system.. (if you can call it that) is in total disaray. It stands to be a profit money making machine for
pharmicutical companies, and Dr's, Why is the medical field the only profession in our country that requires us (citizens) to agree to not hold anyone liable if death occurs? You know,,,, those papers you have to sign before they agree to operate on you? How come there is no video camera equipment in our operating rooms? Don't you want to know what they are doing to you while you are out of it? Torte reform for Doctors and Hospitals is ridiculous. Why shouldn't they be held accountable without there being a cap? They charge us without a cap!
We need socialized medicine in this country .. just to stay alive.... Look to Canada .. America .. we already buy our drugs from them!
We used to lead the world in human rights... now we follow other leading nations on that front too...People of this country seem to love to have a scapegoat to hate.... Blacks have long known this... now gay and lesbians are getting the brunt of Americans hatered. Human rights... not here... not like it should be...
We used to be first in technology....I am afraid Mr. Gates is our last technological guru we will be producing... Our focus and main export in this country is weapons... that's right... weapons.... We sell them to other countries ... then we invade them to find them!!!! Are we loosing it or what?
First ... no... not at anything I can see anymore... certainly not the preserving of our environment!! That's a whole nother... topic... for now I will leave you with...
It starts to get better by each individual being better.... so I have heard... but how do we take our own country back from the corporate giants? How do we as a collective people convey to our government this is suppose to be a government FOR the PEOPLE.. BY the PEOPLE?
They are doing away with the middle class in this country... pretty soon.. if not already... we will be a country of the Rich and Poor....
