Lets just laugh it off

  "Today's financial age has become a period of unbridled excess with accepted risk soaring out of proportion to possible reward." 'Theodore J. Forstmann, a longtime Wall Street financier'.   " Our Blacks are better than their blacks"  'Ann Coulter'  SERIOUSLY!   Did she know she was miked?
    Everyone wonders when the great battle of good verses evil will begin.   It's here, it has always been here!   If you're anticipating Jesus' return, well you'll probably have a very long wait.   
    I happen to think that our Democracy is one of the best Governmental systems on earth.   With this mantle we should take our responsibilities very Serious.   Instead of greatness we have settled for mediocrity.   I don't need to remind you of what's going on here in the US, I write about it weekly, have you been reading?   I have been screaming since 2005 about how we cannot survive without a healthy middle class but alas I am but one voice in the night.    
   So what's my point?     Well put simply, the over monetized uber upper class knows full well what's going on and they are simply in their own little world competing for who has the most yachts.    These people have no morals, scruples and apparently no conscience.   There was a time not so long ago when a single modest salary was enough to support a household.   Don't believe me ask your parents about their parents as we are now 2 generations deep in this quagmire.   We are working harder and for less.   For the longest time I used to wonder how the $27,000 my dad made supported us in the early 70's and my $50,000 could barely sustain me in the 80's\90's.    I didn't live beyound my means, I had a modest car and apartment so what changed?
   It is truly amazing how our Congressional Representatives have twisted the law in effect to amass huge fortunes and personal gain.   I would really like to just go off grid, I am just sicked by our leaders.   It breaks my heart that we as a Nation founded supposedly on freedom and fairness "in theory anyway" have fallen to the bottom of the rung.   
    I know that in all honesty our founding fathers were greedy men who wanted to avoid taxation, yet even they were smart enough to know that taxes were necessary, to build this nation.   Since President Ford, yes that is where I set the boundary, Since he reigned we have been going downhill, BTW that's about the same time that we went off the gold standard and basically began using our name for credit to the world.   Are they connected, well that's for another paper and another time.  I promise to research it and fill you in on what I find.
