Keyword: MIDDLE CLASS




The Presidential debate has done me in. I don't give a damn who you think won. I don't give a damn who won. I don't give a damn about wall street, main street, or any street. I don't care who O'Drama's friends are. I have never run a background check on any of my friends, have you? I don't care if Moose Barbie winks, or McDaddy has a temper. What the hell happened to what really matters. The middle class....remember them???

I don't have a single friend who has not had someone in their direct family laid off.....I give a damn about them. I know tons of people that are so in debt, they are beyond drowning....I give a damn about that. I give a damn about the way schools have stopped teaching and base their entire class curriculum around a stupid test. I give a damn that my electric bill is higher than my car payment. I give a damn that our family spends about $600 monthly on gas alone to get around. I give a damn that my 401K is now worthless. I give a damn that Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and insurance is one big mess. I give a damn that a bag of onions at the local store cost me 8 bucks. I give a damn about the tuition I will never have for my kids college education. I give a damn about the victims of Katrina, Gustav, and Ike, who still have not received the aid they deserve while our money is spent on wars and bailouts.

For heavens sake! One thing is for sure the "people" haven't won. We are watching as our nation, the greatest nation on earth, is falling apart and the big question on TV is who won the debate???? When is someone going to ask the real tough questions. When is someone going to point out the obvious....we are screwed...we are destroying the base of this country, Yep....the middle class. Then, when is somebody going to do anything about it?
