For the life of me I am confused as to why we Americans are so afraid to do what is right. We continue to side with forces that have no interest in our welfare and prosperity. They only want to take advantage of our labor and the environment. It is obvious to me and as such, since I am nothing if but a simple man, must be obvious to many others as well. Is change for the better such a fearful idea that we cannot rally ourselves to it? I am beside myself trying to understand. There is no reasoning I can think of that would make voting to keep forces in public office that continue to add weight to our already heavy middle class seeking burden. It is an absolute conundrum that hurting ourselves even further is not only the real possibility but the preferred choice. Unless, since the solution is to hurt ourselves the question must be do we want or need to be punished? I can only assume that the logic that gets me to this analysis is most likely true, per Occam's razor. Our lives since most of us were born has been on an unequal scale of justice. Anything that may haunt our psyches must be weighed against the unfair system we were raised in. It is the changing of the system from one that only values, a scorched Earth mentality with privilege and advantage that has caused most of our own failings, not our intent, that is needed. Yet for the most part many of us still do not see that it isn't us that is the problem, it is the powers that be who continue to leverage the unfair system to remain and thwart efforts to improve what we all know on some level to be wrong. The wealthy are not all bad actors but too many of them are and for them the rest of us are just metaphorical cannon fodder. This must stop and the only way it will is to stop electing those who are willfully suppressing the middle class and allow for changes in policies that not only enhance the middle class and reverse income inequality but also weaken the wealthy from their lust for greater control of our lives.
