One thing you need to realize is that it is the situation around me that I am mostly concerned about.
I have played the game & come out a bit ahead.
It is the World around us that is falling apart.

In no short way around the issue!
To much power (Wealth) in to few hands is the biggest reason we face the problems we have.

Let me say that I am trying to speak for those in need that are not in position to speak for them self.
The need for guns is greatly less when every on has a bit of the pie.

The failure of the system we have to address that issue in the face of all tis nation can produce is the issue.
Either we find a peace full way to share the Wealth of a Nation or there is civil unrest with much unwanted results.
We as the middle (So to speak) need to view the whole of the problem not just our personal issues.
When issues are resolved as what is best for most & not the Few. The World will be a better place for all.

Just play a numbers game. Where is the wealth now(More & more in few hands)
Or would it be better to see the wealth spread out more over the middle?

I say as wealth has become so concentrated at the top so has the power over the average (Middle) person.
I have been pretty much my own person.
I was basically self employed for most of my adult life.
I set the value on my effort & had a continued connection working with a small group of people.
Price was never ask for in advance nor given. I did may best & they paid what I asked.

Now that was harsh.

I think she blames us for all of the problems she sees out there.

I don't quite see how some trying too get it all will ever leave much for the rest of us.

All it needs is a bit of a bump up in taxes over a reasonable limit could change the whole course we are on.
What is missing here is that the Few seem to think having more of a small economy is good.
I say it could be much better having a smaller part of a larger economy & ending up with just as much 0f a return.
This could end up being better for all.

The issue needs to be looked at:
Is just what do they want most.
Complete control over every part of our life?
Or to have the wealth to live as richly as they can?

Why would so many of us settle for letting them to have it both ways.

I agree with you 100% but if you do something for the lest of these, Republicans call it wealth redistribution and they say that's not fair.
but the same party will cut school lunches and other social programs and give to the rich redistribution from the poor to the rich like their tax reform does and that's fair!
We are the ones who made these people wealthy they didn't do it by themselves. We are the ones who join our armed forces and fight for the country we don't get to have bone spurs like the coward in chief. If you listen to some on here we supposed to be grateful they gave us a job more bs.

You know what? We do it all because it needs to be done.
We do not need any special tax laws nor to we have to kiss some ones back side to get what we have.
We pay our taxes.
WE MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS.
Because we know & believe that who we are & what we do makes America strong.

I never can under stand how some one who thinks they are better need all the tax laws change to their advantage.
I say we just need too find the right words to say BOO!
They are where they are because we have put them there.
We just need to find a few more people like us to see what is truly going on.

IN THE MEAN TIME WE HAVE TO USE THE POWER & INFLUANCE WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHANGES WE CAN.

It is a war of words. The truth will set us free.
