We are some 75 to 80 percent of the population of our country. As a voting block, we should be the most powerful political entity in this country. However, this is not the case. Money, the phycology of our current political enviroment, the partisan press along with talk radio and facebook, have turned us into "Gang" members, fighting each other while the future of our country and our glorious and wonderful way of life hangs in the balance. We have no power. We have given it away to people who do not speak for, or care about us. They tell us what ever we want to hear to gain power. Then they spend the rest of their time doing what ever they have to do to keep power.
Something is Seriously wrong with this picture!
We can get off the couch and get involved in turning this thing around. We can start advocating for our own interest and not the interest of some talk show host or politician. These guys are rich and getting richer at our expense. They claim to be speaking for us, but these guys make a good living, (very good living) keeping us angry with each other while they rack up ratings (read "money") and power, (read even more "money").
Below is a look at what is going on right now in our democracy.
Tell us what you think of the current power and position of the American Middle Class. Tell us what you think we can do about our situation. Can we vote our way out of this? Are politicians and the ratings driven press forces of nature?
