To be Disabled or Elderly in America

Here I sit, thinking how once I made $38.00 ph when I worked Building America. Now the Federal Government (with their $80.00 ph wage) and the State Government (with their $20 to $50 ph wage) pay me barley $6.92 ph to live off and feed, house ($750 rent), and care for my two kids still in the home. Even sadder still, the state I live in taxed my SSI and reduced the money my children received by a 1/3 in TANF (food and cash).
So with SSI’s $3.01 ph + $1.99 ph TNAF (State)+$1.92 ph in food stamps we call it living. I did not ask to be disabled! I now live on for American standers, a none living wage. For how can't I have a car and maintain it or anything else for that matter.
"Please don’t think bad of me for being broken (or old)," is what I say a lot, for I worked from age 3 until my 30s. And here I sit in pain, with no real money or health-care for the the children or I.
Oh, on the up side, the State Doctors wants to give me pain pills to mask my pain, but not fix the problem. These pills are worth from $20 to $80 a piece on the street. Bull S**T, I cannot and will not accept the pain pills anymore and have not for sometime.
I feel it is entrapment by my Government, in regards to the fact that; “What good parent is going to let their child go without when they have the means to make their life better.” Ether way, I must suffer without pain meds, for if I had them I would sell them for my children to finely have the thing they need, and now I must go without for the temptation is to grate! Heck, I have known some folk that had to sell their pills to keep a roof over their head, food on the table, pay car insurance, gas, and Meds in the cabinet.
In many ways, a disabled/elderly person has less right then a Felon. The cost of taking care of us is about the same per day, when it come to cost to the Taxpayer. We both can’t own a gun. For me a gun is an asset and for the Felon it’s back up the river! (You pay about $20k a year for a felon & about $8k for me)
NOW, the big difference between a Disabled/elderly person and a Felon is the fact that, even though a Disabled person can vote, our Constitutional Right to “Prosper” from that vote is NO MORE! Where a Felon has NO RIGHTS to vote, he/she has every right to prosper from yours and my vote.
How dose it feel to work hard throughout ones life to help your Country Prosper, and to give the ultimate sacrifice and becoming disabled in life do to the hard work and dedication to the growth of America. Only to be told you cannot have a living wage, your children after age 16 will have their teeth pulled do to State health care, that you can’t build up any assets of any kind like a boat or motorbike, or real-estate investments and/or stocks. H_E_Double_Hockey sticks, you can’t even be married or the FEDS will cut your SSI benefits in half.
P.S. Worst yet, I was recently told by the State I now live in, that any children one has in this State, belong to the State and one must report to them any movement, even if you move to a different school district you must seek their permission!!! WHAT IS AMERICA COMING TO!!!!!

Lines drawn in the sand

Nowadays, our government and Big business have partnered up to rake the American people across the coals. Way else have the oil, food (with a decrease in portions), and lumber companies recorded record profits? (And the worker nothing)
Furthermore, now it has been reviled to the general public that the savings rate has gone in the negative. Eyes open?
This is perhaps, do to the cost of living going through the roof, lute alone the cost to build a roof, and the rates (interest rates and so on) increases in more then one sector (with promises of more to come), coupled with the Price Gouging that is occurring in the U.S. do to the so called War on terrorist, by the oil, power, and construction supply corporations.
I say the so called War on terrorist, for we have more terrorist in the U.S. then the hole Middle East, with gang activity at a all time high witch is branching out from all the major cities to the more remote towns and cities, and then there is the K.K.K., Aryan Nation, The Mulisha, Skin Heads, The Mob’s (Russian, Turkish, China, Mexican, Italy, and so on), Right-wing Fanatics, The Right to Lifers/“Mommy killers”(lets blow up a P.P.H. so we can stop killing of unborn babies and who cares if a mommy 8 month pregnant getting prenatal care dies, we are doing Gods work. "NOT any God I know")(Hay did you eat eggs this morning?), School Alameda's like the Skulls & The Masons, Free Masons, The Cartels and so on. If the people in office are true Christians shouldn't they be “Pluck the thorn out of their own eye” before we go do it another country?
I SUPPORT MY TROOPS!
Dose the V.A.?

The American Dollar

It seems we are cutting off our nose, to spite our face. In the last eight years I have see our dollar do a belly flop in to the abyss of corruption and deception! In the mid 90’s the American Dollar was in more a superior standing in the world global market. With the people we have in office right now, I feel that the Integrity of the U.S. Dollar and what it truly represents is at risk of total obliteration. It was bad enough that in the late 60’s early 70’s our government removed the gold and silver from our money so now it is pretty much worthless printed paper & coins (mining companies and towns went under) and seized all the gold people had and enacted laws to make it harder to own gold, cobalt, platinum, and so on (this was the death of Reno NV). Now they are taking the copper out of our pennies.

Our Forefathers must be rolling in their graves at the mockery that we have now become! No longer do “We hold these truths to be self evident.” By cutting up our constitution to suit the party in office and their agenda, “We the People” loses it’s meaning!

Once a Great Nation

We were once one of the most powerful Nations in the world; do to our highly skilled workforce, good business ethics, and for always setting precedence in the world for our advancements in all fields. Now, we are known for being a Horde Monger, that has no respect for the workers they employ overseas or for the ones left behind in the states, and we have become a nation bent on Money and Power, and not Unconditional Respect for our Follow Man, Woman, and Child. We need to set the record straight, and get back to good business, before we have nothing to call our own, and our name as a Leader of Nations is tarnished beyond repair. For with the state of affairs in our country right now and the American workers having its future sold right out from under their noses, and the farmland being sold off to foreign investors or just vanishing all together there may not be anything left of America to pass on to our children, grandchildren, and our future generations!
Raising and lowering interest rates, is nothing more then a band-aid on an amputation of the American workforce! In order to reattach this limb, Laws must change in the U.S., to protect American jobs and American workers and the products made therein. With responsible legislation we need to enact laws that penalize U.S. companies with more then 35% of their factories outside the U.S. with stiffer tariffs, and taxes! They also need to halt the sell off of US companies, factories, and farmland to Foreign Investors. Moreover, we as Americans need to look closely at the companies we invest in, to insure we invest in American Based companies, and workers. If the U.N. pushed for a World Wide Minimum Wage, to eliminate slave labor, sweatshops and insure a living wage, for our country and other Third World Countries, the world’s poor people would no longer be raped by Big Business. We do need to do our part in helping Third World Countries develop economic stability but not at the cost of our own economic stability.

A true Representative of the people is

A true Representative of the people, to some of “My Fellow Americans,” is one that represents all of the people of His or Hers City, County, State and Country. A person wishing to be President, should in body this way of thinking when running for office. The only way this can truly be done in some people’s eyes is for the President not to belong to any one party. For how can you truly represent all the people if you only represent one side of the parties? You can’t! This, in the long run, can destroy even the best of Nations, just ask, Idealism! To continue this way is only going to divide this Great Nation even more than it already is, and that’s not good. Our President when asked what party does He or She represent, should state, “I am not Republican, Democratic, or Independent, I am none of the above for I am For the People, By the People, With the People and I will Not Elevate myself Above the People, for I am SUBSERVIENT to the needs of All the People of this Great Land and will not sway to any one parties favor, for my job is to represent the people, Not The Parties They Belong To!”. Our Nation is like a great crystal (eclectic) with many facets and like a crystal, if you only see one facet of a crystal, you will never see its true beauty, America, is “A Nation Of Nations.”
