I think that part of the reason for Obama's failure to act for the average American is that it is not just an American problem. All over Europe they are having the same problem with job loss and government cuts in helping agencies. Truly this is a Global problem, and we need to tune up our ears to what is going on to be able to join with other countries to fight the global greed of corporations.

 

I heard that to be part of the European Union England will have to pay from 300 million of some sources to 1 billion from another source. Paying this while increasing tuition for students in college by 3 times.

 

I have been watching about riots on YouTube. We need a very big stick to fight this problem, and it needs to be wielded by many strong arms across many nations. Unless we think on a global basis, and unite with others across the globe, I do not think we can win the war on the average person to take all their dollars.

 

Perhaps I am wrong, I hope I am.

 

Love,

Your Niece Sharon

Very well said.  We have been so misinformed by the mass media for so many years that we, the American People, are totally disorganized and confused, not knowing who to hold responsible for our economic woes. 

But while this growing International Empire keeps us off balance, it is becoming better and better organized. 

Through long exposure Americans have come to rely on and trust the mass media for daily news and information.  So when we are told over and over again that we have a bumbling, incompetent government, we assume that politicians are either fools or crooks. 

This sets us against our own government.  When someone speaks out and says, "The government is doing exactly what it has been paid to do.  Politicians have been bought by big corporate money and will always do what is best for their Masters", no one believes them.  They are a faint stirring in the night.  As long as we believe that we can level the playing field...play on the Ruling Classes terms, we lose.  We must find a way to remove the buying and selling of politicians.  Open public channels for *All candidates to promote their beliefs.  Let the people who care, listen and and those who don't care can continue watching their latest Reality Show or Sporting Event. 

Take the lobbyists out of the halls of the state and national Capitols.  Make them rent offices off-campus and invite politicians to come to their office.  Why should Americans pay their expenses in the Public Buildings when most of us can't afford to ever enter our seat of government? 

Stop paying the military to buy war equipment that they will never use, only to keep pumping our tax dollars into the pockets of giant corporations like Boeing and General Electric.  And these corporations pay no taxes themselves. 

Oh well, enough for one rant.
