I have a 5 year old great grandson that I would like to spend the remainder of my life making things better for, along with all the other citizens of today, young, old and in between. Too many families are struggling to survive on minimum wage jobs, because all our good jobs have been incentivized to move off-shore for tax and labor reasons. Our present administration is destroying our country and it's relevance in the world. We are killing our planet out of greed. We are destroying our lands, our oceans, our air, our water. We destroy peoples lives because they are gay or brown or a religion other than Christian. We are evenly divided as a country because of false narratives, lies, inability to compromise on anything. We are no longer United. We have become a country in which too many are proud of bigotry, ignorance, hatred, and intolerance. I choose not to live that way! I choose to spend the remainder of my days trying to correct some of that. I wish to be that voice in the wilderness, that tree that falls in the woods and is heard loudly.
We can change our world for the better if we can learn to listen! Too many today have become locked into a philosophy or ideology that cannot allow us to hear one another. It has to stop or we as a nation will not survive. The billionaires have succeeded in taking the reins of our government and are running rampant trying to form it to their agenda, which is the control of all. Congress's loyalty is to the super donor class, not the average working man and woman. People are dying because we as a nation refuse to help them, either through destroying the safety nets that have been in place for decades or passing common sense legislation to help them. Our infrastructure is crumbling around us and we do nothing to rebuild, because we have given all the money to the rich through tax breaks. Trickle Down, Right! I owe nothing to anyone, therefore I reason things out and think for myself. I make decisions based on facts and reality, not what someone tells me to think. I live below my means, which needs to be applied accordingly to our governance.
