    The advocacy for bad attitude and violent reaction to issues has been promoted by the lack of honesty from all our political representatives. This has been an issue since they managed to take “We The People” out of the loop that determines their wages and benefits.

    That occurred in the 1960’s and since then we have seen more and more corruption and bribery at all levels of government. At present we have some super rich people that are doing everything they can to improve their lot by buying political representatives. They are destroying the middle class of the nation and thinking they are improving their position.

    The realization will someday set in that without someone to buy the products they are making that the money tree will no longer be producing money. When the system has only two classes, the very rich and the very poor, no one wins. History has shown that when the imbalance gets to the critical stage the overthrowing of power usually follows. 

   Are we at that stake? Very possibly only the need to realign our system will not be done by someone with only self serving greed as their driving motivation. Regardless of the hope about making the country great again, the intention is to see how much more can be stolen before our life ends. 

   The attempt to cheat the state of New York out of millions in revenue, the lying to cover actions that are viewed as immoral and all that was what got 34 guilty verdicts brought. Has it changed anything in the play book? Not a chance, the suckers supported through that and will continue to as long as the spin makes it seem like victim hood is our lot. 

   If the nation puts him back in power we will become the victims of even greater cuts than we have seen so far. All social support systems will be scrapped. Everything that can be exploited to discover mineral wealth will be exploited. For the few years he has left no major shift will be catastrophic but the policies that will be put in place will ultimately send this nation down the toilet. The only saving grace of that is that the rich will not survive either, without someone to support you and your lifestyle then all will come to an end.

   Our representatives and government officials need to have a code of ethics that does not allow for the crap we see today. This is of course, looking for the best from our fellow men and that is nothing more than a hope. The best has not been shown from any venue be it political or religious as power and greed seem to be the weakness that all succumb to eventually.
