Eventually the rock will drop (#1886)

When what is in your head about the ideal is finally exposed to the reality of what is actually happening can we hope that an understanding will occur. As time continues to tick and we continue to get further into our finite lives, the thought should occur that we have to change our realities now. There is a dishonest broker in our politics and for whatever reason, be it disillusion with the process or inability to see the "big picture" or an "I don't care" attitude, Republicans are benefiting from it. Before I rail on about the vote, which is our method for relief from Republican policies, I have to go back a step and remind all of us why we need to vote them out. They are the ones who are blocking the hope for our future. What do I mean by that? Simply put, they don't want us to have a world class education, only one our individual families can afford, which is code for only the wealthy. they don't want our retirement years to be fun and secure, instead they want us to be susceptible to market forces as a crap shoot. Think about it, relying on your retirement from the hands of Wall Street capital managers. Most of us cannot save the kind of money to even gamble on this approach so again, it only MAY work if you are wealthy. They want us to have only health insurance or health care if we can afford it. How inhumane is that? Enough said on that subject! They want us to work in poverty level occupations since they don't want to improve our infrastructure that creates good middle class jobs. For my final example is the one that boils my skin the most, they want to deny us the liberty of voting by restricting it and making it difficult everywhere they can. I didn't even touch on the disrespect they are leveling against our women, veterans and disabled. When the rock drops and your eyes are opened to what this dastardly Republican party is doing to our nation I just hope it is before November when every single vote we have will be needed to upend their strategy and send them home out of work like they have done to most of the rest of us.
