America’s Future
Ours has always been a noble country. Our country’s reason for being was based on “Freedom”. Today “Freedom” is under fire not from just afar, but from within.
Our middle class is eroding. Good jobs are hard to find for young and old. For skilled and unskilled. I am particularly concerned for young people. Not so much for the well-educated, or the well-connected, but for those people with a high school education, a junior college education or trade school education. They need jobs that are not being created in adequate numbers. They need these jobs so they can support their families and so they have a chance to be part of the middle class.
These are the same people that are severely affected by taxes of all types. They pay FICA and Medicare tax to support the seniors on SSI. When prices go up they pay more sales tax than their older countrymen. Their homes are more expensive because of inflation (the real hidden tax), etc.
This group fights the wars, fight our fires, and police our streets. They do the heavy lifting in our factories and in cities. They have the least political influence, and yes, they have the hardest time earning a good living.
Much of the negativity in our country would be resolved if these people could find good employment. It is time to ask the political class for specifics on how they would propose to solve this problem.
How can we be asked to vote for people when they promise something and never deliver? It is time for term limits and to end the influence of big money. As a people we must stop the divisiveness that is espoused by the media and many of the political class.
I share this opinion, but we should all be concerned with where we are going as a country. RCM
