The older I get, the more I wish I could be a kid and just tune out what the American Political System has become. In this article by N. Kristof, he sums it up pretty succinctly. The reason I call the latest election "The Greatest Sting Ever..." is that the Republicans, who seem to think tax cuts for gazillionaires is a good thing and oh by the way let's fight a couple of wars too is that these new Republicans were swept into office by the very people whose wages have stagnated, whose sons and daughters are off fighting our wars, and the ones who can at least afford what the Republicans seek. It is amazing how the once great middle class is becoming hemorrhaged so that the rich can get richer. Think any of those Wall Street execs who gambled our money away is going to give back their million dollar bonuses? Wake up America...there is nothing wrong with making money, but let's not equate working hard to just plain stealing.
