Many fail to see all of the problems we each face in our day to day life & just what is behind them.

Yes Capitalism has been good for many.

But things have gotten bad for most of us because it is now working at it's best. It is just that at it's best means fewer & fewer are ending up with most of the wealth.

It is this greed that is damaging the system. The American dream that most had when many could see & have the dream come true has faded.

I have much more money than I once had but the system wants to use my money & charge me to handle my money & use it to make money for them self.

Today Capitalism is working for fewer of us. Capitalism works on getting more out of some thing than you put in.

But that applies to capital not labor.

So if you want to keep what is good about the system you need to see that less of the wealth is ending up in fewer pockets.

So unless you are a banker or a person that has wealth that generates most of you income I say you are getting screwed.

For my self at 78 I still rely on using my labor for a good part of my income.

Lets just say that I sell my time & sk**ls at a price that finds a willing buyer.

I have income property & if the man on the street has a few dollars more then I can adjust the value of what I sell to be worth more.

Letting the bankers take more from holding my money don't help me at all.

The power to control what each of us had, has been taken from us because the system values money over labor.

As long as people like you & I fail to see that the powers that are wish to see us divided & work to keep us divided things will only keep getting worse for most of us.

It is time for people like you to see that what was good about our system was gotten out of hand & the control of that system has been taken from us.

I wish you to know that I as an individual am a Capitalist & wish to maintain most of what is good about it.

I feel that just being greedy to help my self to more is not really in my best long term interest.

I feel that I am in the middle & wish to stay there.

I feel that it is in my best personal interest to be a part in seeing that happens.

How can that be.

I wrote this in a reply to one who called me a Libtard.

I am waiting for him to reply.

If I am to make sense of the issues at hand I need to find better ways to express my self.

It needs something more than making sense.

I know that there are those out there who know of what I say. I am thank full for hearing kind words from them.

I have a trust in myself & a firm trust in others to do the right things.

Again I say that most people on this site really think, do, & are good.

It is not that I wish to change any one, but to bring out the good that is already a part of them.

If life is to be good & have any true meaning we need to bring out our trust in our self & our trust in others that trust us.

On any given day my life touches others that are quite well off (Some who I have helped to be well off) & those that have very little who I do things to make things a bit better in their day to day living. (I fix problems with their housing)

It is the positive interaction with others that gives my life true meaning.

I have many material things but do not seek material things to impress others.

I think that most people deserve to have the personal well being to have & do that I have.

If this makes me a libtard so be it. It is my life & I choose to live that way.
