I love my country. Dad was a Vietnam vet and sister served in Iraq.

I gotta say...I'm sorry but I don't think you can just say America's always come back and always will. Do you know how it came back in the past? We went to work! We built American made products and we bought from stores owned by Americans and we put money in the pockets of our neighbors by buying the products they made. Now all of those manufacturing jobs are in China or in Mexico and we are buying things made their because big business has squeezed out the mom and pop shops.

Now who allowed this to happen? The politicians...the same ones that vote themselves raises every year the same ones that don't pay a dime for medical coverage. Why? Because of GREED!

I don't believe that politicians give a damn about any of us. I don't believe they love this country as much as we do or they wouldn't be selling us out. Yea I respect the office or position of them....I just wish they respected the people they are working for. They all need a 50% pay cut and start paying there own insurance. Then maybe we'll get people in there that WANT to do REAL good and just give us a bunch of double talk.

I've never wanted to be rich....I just want to be able to pay my bills and make sure my kids have a decent childhood...I've never accepted any form of charity and won't .....I still have my pride and I make decent money just doesn't make sense to me.

I'll get off my soap box now.
