Why Are we so Unsure
By Dennis S Murray Sr.
The 2012-13 election process has
divided this country more than ever with Republican’s refusing to do business
with President Obama for the past 4 years and many of them feel that they
rather see this country fall to its knees while the countries debt erodes and
destroys more families. Many Republican stated that they will not work with
President Obama on anything despite families losing everything they own. Our
political elected official has put their priorities first before the people
that elected them. Both parities have crippled this country with greed on Wall
Street, Banking Institutions, and expense corporate lobbying techniques.
This country has been hit with storms, hurricanes,
earthquakes, and our infrastructure is 60 years old and counting. But greed has
been our downfall in this country because no one wants to fix the problem
without their hand getting dirty. In 2009 we bailout the Banks, Wall Street,
and the Auto industry but to this day the 89% are being bury underground with
debt. Millions of families have lost they homes in 2007 sense then many are
still losing their homes in 2012. Why are we so unsure about helping those that
have sacrifice so much but these elected officials are still asking them to
sacrifice even more, when county officials in Atlanta, Georgia and other states
are voting to give themselves a raise of 49 to 50% while our American Veterans are
not getting they disability benefits payments and losing their homes, health,
and more. Some Veterans has been waiting over 25 years for service connecting
benefits payments, but our elected officials want a raise.
This should outrage the 89% of the American people, whom
many don’t have any jobs or jobs that can substance there families and those that
have jobs haven’t gotten a raise in 7 years while the price of good and
services goes up dramatically in this stormy economy Greed and selfishness plays a
big role in politics while the our so call none existence middle class is the poor
in today’s world of destruction.
The Washington,
DC regions this past summer was a
victim of Mother Nature heavy hand while a massive storm came through and wipe
out the power, trees, and homes for weeks while the Federal government shut
down its operations as well. This left the undeserved without basic goods and
services to be productive during the storm outages. Many were told by Pepco and
other power companies that you had to wait days or weeks until the power was
fixed however, these same power companies were charging for power services that
they were not rendered during the storm. This seems to be illegal, wouldn’t you
think! Perhaps this will be translated to the Eastern Regions where hurricane
Sandy landed on October 30, 2012 dropping tons of water and destruction on the
lives of everyday person in it way. This storm left 8 million residences without
power, food, transportation, health care, and more while Mayor Bloomberg
decided to have their Annual New York City Marathon despite lost of life, destruction's, and homeliness that hurricane Sandy caused. But the voices of New York were heard and
Mayor Bloomberg caved in and did the right think for the people.
Politics is working at its best in New York, while many
people especially the Republicans and the Tea party moment feels that
government shouldn’t interfere in the lives of helping people evening if there
are under a rock. The media has recorded people all across the Eastern regions
requesting that the government do more in helping them but these very people
are the ones that don’t want government intruding on their lives. Why are we so
unsure about what role we want the government to place in our lives? It always
seems practical when it benefits your needs first or are you allow too pick and
chose your poison when it comes to government services. We can’t have it both
ways. Many Congressional members want to eliminate Welfare, Medicare, and other
Social programs despite some great reason why we should eliminate some of that waste;
but we should also eliminate Congressional waste spending on lavish trips and
other amenities that Congress enjoys at taxpayers expense with Wall Street
bankers.
The FAT CATS WALL STREET BANKERS should have step up and
help these people not only in the Eastern Regions but across America that
have been devastated by destruction in the past 3 years. We saw the Walls
Street Exchange building power up the next day, before any other businesses in
New York City saw daylight, they were in business and trading while Mayor
Bloomberg rung the opening bell. Many businesses were not so lucky to have
their business up and running the next day, but despite there destruction those
small business were out helping others in there communities with what ever they
had to offer. We haven’t seen or heard from Wall Street Business paying it
forward in these times of crisis yet.
Corporate American and our elected politicians are so blind
to reality with an unbalance approach to securing the American people problems,
however we saw a glimmer of hope when Republican Governor Christie of New Jersey
and President Obama as they united as one to meet the needs of New Jersey citizens.
Mayor Cory Booker of Newark,
New Jersey was knocking on doors
and using social network to help the people of his city. He wasn’t looking to
help Republicans or Democratic he just offered his help hand like he has done
for years as the Mayor of his city. But sense President Obama has been in
office the Tea party Republicans and others Republicans decided that they wouldn’t
work with him period as the first African American President. These Republicans
decided early in 2008 that they would do everything in their power to stop his
progress in helping the American people to succeed.
