Greed

OK, I'm just going to say it: I am fed up to the teeth with greedy people. Nothing makes me angrier than to hear people complain that this person or that person is out to screw them out of a few measly dollars when they have more than enough to keep them comfortable, thank you. It seems that those who have are out to screw those of us who don't, but they seem to think that it's the other way around. Well, I am sick to tears of working class people being blamed for all this country's ills. I am sick to death of the haves wanting still more, more , more and asking the rest of us to give up what few comforts we have left in this life. It makes me sick to think of how much money they have socked away, probably in tax havens, and then they have the temerity to complain that those with less are screwing them out of their precious money. Well, I have had it. Enough is enough. I say that it is time for people to start taking to the streets and demanding justice. Poverty is sharply on the rise, foreclosures continue to ravage neighborhoods. jobs that were offshored are never going to return, corporations are sitting on record amounts of cash and not using it to create jobs. the wealthiest among us have gotten substantially richer in recent decades while the middle class is all but an extinct species, colleges and universities are pricing themselves out of reach for most people of modest means, student loan programs are getting cut and overall, we are headed down a disastrous path. No one seems to have the political will to turn things around anymore. My anger right now knows no bounds. I am so pissed off I don't even know what to think. I'm tired of those of us with so little being asked to keep giving up more and more of the few crumbs we have left. When is this going to stop? When is someone going to step up to the plate and start asking those with more to give up some of their riches so that those who have less might stop having to suffer so much? How much more are we going to have to take of this? How can those with so much sit by idly and watch so many people suffering in silence and be able to go to bed at night? I've had it, I tell you, I've had it. Enough. Rampant greed is destroying this country like a rot from within. And unless we contain it, I'm afraid that our best days are indeed behind us and all we face in the future is more misery and a wider gap between the haves and the have nots. Pretty soon we'll be just like the Europe of old, aristocracy and serfs. We're nearly there now and it won't take much more to push us over the edge to a full blown old European system. I just wish I knew why so many working class people are OK with voting for people who turn around and stiff them, but....I guess the fact that people are largely uninformed and happy to be so is the reason why. You know what they say, ignorance is bliss......but ignorance has its own price, too. Well, I am not ignorant, I am angry and I am fed up with the whole damned system. I'm tired of getting screwed at every turn by people who want more, more, more when they already have enough. Am I the only one who feels this way? Please tell me I'm not, because I will be very depressed if that's so.
