Trickle Down Economics, yeah, right.
I’ve seen three different articles just this morning, Bank of America being one, about the new tax bill and how the money is racing to the top 1%. But, it’s done and the 1% is no doubt, thrilled. The breadcrumbs thrown to the rest of us are nothing more than a transparent smokescreen meant to give the illusion that we, the regular Joe and Joan will be better off. With all due respect, bullshit.
We are defenseless against our own government, the very people whom we elect and trust to pass laws for the betterment and “common good” of the people- all of the people. This is true with both parties, as once we have closed government, we have no government. We are not represented by elected officials who claim to be standing up for the electorate in their respective states, but are beholden to special interest groups with nothing more than money and power on their minds.
Yet what can we do? The options grow fewer and fewer by the day. If and when the time comes for peaceful revolt it will have been too late. The problems we are experiencing are greater than the solutions that we, the regular working people who made this country great, can muster. To make America great again will necessitate deep pain and sorrow, and will ultimately fail, as money and power does not yield its muscle.
So, I’m going to get in my car which is not state owned, buy a gallon or two of gas before it hits $20 a gallon, drive down the street without my “papers” while it’s still in reasonably good condition, and buy a cheeseburger while they are still available, and pretend while I still can,that my vote really matters.
