Can I be the only Man in America that truly understands the magnitude of this crisis Our Country is in??
Wake Up People…stop medicating yourself and Become Engaged with the people around you. It’s no secret that millions of Americans are unemployed or significantly underemployed, that 10s of thousands of individuals are terrified of losing their homes and can’t afford their health insurance or even put decent food on their tables. Just because the (corporate controlled) American Media refuses to report the truth, doesn’t mean it is nonexistent. My best guess is that if you take the reported unemployment numbers and then double them, you will grasp the enormity of the situation. The fact is that all of you have friends, family or neighbors that awaken each day is despair…and NO it’s not OKAY to keep telling them “just hang in there, things will get better.”
We as citizens of this great country can no longer remain in a stagnant state of denial…as this continued complacency will soon put most of us in collective Financial Incarceration to those foreign countries that own our enormously growing debt! At the core of our dilemma is plainly Corporate Greed.
Think about it for a moment; how can the same financial institutions that just last year were on the brink of collapse and were the primary beneficiaries of BILLIONS from the TRILLION DOLLAR stimulus package…are now mysteriously showing BILLION DOLLAR profit reports? Simple, these revenues primarily come from reprehensible fees charged for late payments and excessive increased interest rates on revolving consumer credit cards. Even worse is the fact that these despicable costs are levied on the backs of the very same people who can least afford them! And just for a little ‘Icing on the Cake’ the very same group of managing executives who put-in-place these financial instruments are being paid MILLION DOLLAR bonuses again as our National Debt increases by the TRILLIONS.
I personally am a believer in Capitalism. I am an advocate of our constitutional rights to free enterprise. However I cannot sit back any longer and just be a spectator and watch how the GREED of a FEW destroy the fabric of the country I am proud to call home.
