What part of this are you not getting..Kossacks, Media, Stupid Ass Republican that are under the age of 50, Starry eyed Democrats
Welcome to what happens when you get what you THINK you deserve
I ONCE said to my Grandmother, I DESERVE __________. I honestly don't remember what it was that I thought I deserved.
She had me kneel on the wooden floor, and pray. Pray? Yeah I know I know it was her method of getting me to think.
But here is what she taught me..........
If you read yesterday's diary,
It is not about Parties. It is about Politics
Then you understand my Grandmother. She was a turn of the century baby, born to Irish Immigrants. one of 13 children and a devote Catholic. She believed in taking care of your fellow human being, that kindness is always repaid, and that LIFE IS TOUGH, that both babies and old people die, and life goes on.
Why doesn't America already have Health Care? We were not bombed in the Second World War, so we have NO idea of what it was like to lose millions of people, or to have them lying on the streets in agony with torn bodies. In the EU they lived through the recoveries of 2 Wars, total destruction, the annihilation of a Race (Jews) hunger, famine, they understood better than we, that protection of the worker was and is paramount to a healthy society.
Why are Unions weak in the USA? Greed, most of you HONESTLY believe that Unions are inherently evil or corrupt. Not that unions are formed to protect the worker. They are neither, they are a collection of workers who represent other workers. Working families are paying a big price for employers’ interference in workers’ freedom to choose a union and for the government’s unwillingness to protect basic rights in the workplace.
* Wages are kept low, not only for union workers but for nonunion workers as well. Union workers earn 25 percent higher wages than nonunion workers, and new research shows that in areas where unions have a significant presence, wages are higher for all workers.
* As the number of workers covered by union-negotiated, secure pension plans has declined, working families face increasingly uncertain retirement income due to attacks on Social Security and because of the impact on their savings of the declining stock market and corruption on Wall Street.
* A whopping 45 million Americans lack health insurance.
* Productivity soars, but the purchasing power of workers’ wages is stuck 5 percent below where it was 30 years ago.
* Corporate profits are fat, and CEO pay is now more than 1,000 times the earnings of front-line workers.
* The nation’s 13,000 richest families, a mere 0.01 percent of the population, now have nearly as much income as the poorest 20 million.
the Government and media selling us that the recovery has begun, that buying a house is still a good investment, that there is even such a thing as a good investment anymore. If you buy a house at the national mean, you will spend around 200 thousand dollars. Where is that going to appreciate to? Will everyone in America be a million dollar house? Because if it trends like the past we will all be millionaires soon. your House is NOT an investment it is your home. Greed drove the housing market.
You have been lied to ever since the Nixon era. When they began to tell us greed was not bad, welfare was. Welfare to assist families is NOT bad. Social security is a must, for both disabled and retired. Your pension should be a pension again, and NOT a 401K
So what did I learn, kneeling there on the dinning room floor?
That Gratitude for what I had, left me much happier, than longing for what I thought I deserved. We could all learn that lesson.
Once again this has nothing to do with your party affiliation, instead I submit that now is the time that we have to take responsibility for ourselves, our fellow men, and our nation.
