what is next

And while we squabble and squirm, argue and harangue, sit upon our soap box and proudly protest and posture, the rich remain rich and the middle class and poor remain poverty stricken or poverty bound. And while we point fingers at others, pronounce ourselves as the people America most wanted to represent them, demand no need for debate the wealthy have ten times the amount of the not so wealthy and bigger remains better and having one of something becomes better than being stuck with none of anything.

We hear that entitlements have ruined this nation and to stop the bleeding we must stop the give-aways. We hear if people worked harder, no matter how little pay they get then America could heal its cancerous deficit wound. We hear that unions, are socialism in disguise, that government workers are leeches, and that things like postal service highway maintenance, care for the elderly, police and firefighting should be a part of the capitalism that makes America great and become privatized. We hear that our tax system is not the problem rather the funding of some human needs is the culprit. And while we hear all of this Corporations, Big Businesses, millionaires and billionaires continue to live high of the hog while the middle class and poor hope they can find a hog to have for dinner for the next few days.

We are told that jobs is job one but while the rhetoric is resonating to the ears and minds of people too stupid to figure they are without jobs and benefits, we are reminded that before we fix the employment picture we must picture America as filled with adulterers, infidels and disciples of the devil and stop women from freedom of their own reproductive rights, the LGBT the equality of marriage and anyone other than an Evangelical Christian the right to pray to a God of his or her choice. And while the sticks and stones are being tossed from the glass towers of lobbyists and hypocrites supported by their dollars poor people are still poor, those without health care still sick and families wondering how do we face tomorrow.

We are told by the Republican/Baggers that they don't want to shut down this country, but if their self serving/self righteous lines in the sand do not get met, then shut it down. We are told by Democrats that just how much compromise is expected before a consensus can be met. We are told that it is the other sides problem and politics above all else is what is important. We are told anything but the facts from either side and given only the emotion and the propaganda necessary to brainwash all and everyone never discovering the truth but identifying the bias and bogus. And while this is happening the wealthy just cancel their first class airfare to fly business and the poor and middle class cancel any fare at all and walk.

We are told, spoken at, rallied toward, screamed by and lectured and threatened. And while the noise hits the airwaves, and the words bounce across the Internet, and the pulpits spew man's interpretation of God those without money, health care, four walls, three meals a day continue to be talked about and never spoken to. And while we dance the holier than thou dance the rich make remain rich and everyone else remains just wondering what is next.
