We are in Trouble America!

I just wanted to rant today. I really don't know how we as Americans are going to survive as a country. This is not about race, religion, or economic status. This is about something that is effecting everyone. Everyone that is except our government. I have change my party affiliation in the past few years but that has done nothing because no matter what political party you belong to, it effects everyone. The economy. I have a job but there are many that don't. My job is really not helping to get anywhere though. I am making half as much money I made 12 years ago and it seems the cost of living is twice as much. With these numbers how is an American supposed to survive. Seems like every few months my family has to give something up in order to keep going. I do not have health insurance. Not because my job does not offer it but because I can not afford it. It would cost me a third of my yearly salary. So do I pay for health insurance that the government is trying to force me to get or do I feed my children. Everyday the cost of living is going up. Every time they raise the gas and oil prices, everything else goes up. At this rate it is not even going to be worth going to work. We might as well go back to pioneer days and live off the land. The people we elect into office don't do what we ask of them. Doesn't matter if they are Democrat or Republican. They do what fills their pockets. They do not feel the hurt the rest of us feel. When their terms are over they are still being paid, they are still being insured by us. I work to pay the salaries and for health insurance and for the big retirement checks these public servants receive. While they live the high life the rest of us are paying for it. We are fast becoming a country of have and have nots. There is no longer classes. We have the Government and the poor. Yes the Poor bastards (US) who keep letting the government take and take and take. Getting back to these oil and gas prices. We are being forced into submission with the excuses of troubles in the Middle East. Last time gas prices were drastically inflated was due to a hurricane. I think we all remember that. Oil companies has record profits that year. Who paid? We did. I think it's time we take back our country America. We were built on the foundation For the people and by the people. We are no longer the ones running the show. Government has taken over. We may have put these people in office but they are not working for me. They are working for themselves. (For me by me). Our government no longer listens to what we want. They tell us what they want. How dare they? FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE. Lets take it back.
