This government, Of the Wealthy, By the Wealthy and For the Wealthy, is doing a grand job for the people. We just don't happen to be "the people".
How can the Working/Middle Class have become so confused that we can't figure that one out? One major problem is that we have been conditioned for years to think in sound bites. Everything is in the here and now. We have no history. What we have is a distorted collection of Fairy Tales.
Once again I will beat the drum for the one very basic history book that focuses on Americans, working men and women, and that book is Howard Zinn's, A People's History of the United States.
Yes, there are lots of other books that are far more accurate than those Mother Goose Tales we peddle to our children, but Zinn's account gives the big overview and serves as a base from which we can weigh other accounts of our history.
