It's the same old story.

The republicans are responding to their masters,the business people,who are their friends and supporters.The democrats are taking the part of anything but the values of mainstream America and trying to use race,poverty,religion and historical civil rights issues and figures against those of us who just want what we went to war for,worked for,and our fathers worked for,what we remained at peace with each other for,what we voted for and what is rightfully ours.Both parties are getting what they want.Working citizens are getting ignored.The republicans claim they are responding with compassionate conservatism,to the appeals of democrats.The democrats are responding to the desires of business for the republicans and to generate business support for themselves.The citizens of mexico have more influence on my government than I do.I couldn't even get them to keep their promises of free health care and compensation for damage caused by war.Some one can enter this country illegaly,take work away from me,cause me to pay high uninsured motorist insurance, high taxes to support their lack of responsibility to society here,send their kids to school at no cost,even requiring us to supply interpreters,shortchanging my grandchildren.my medical insurance is in danger of being withdrawn,because citizens and insurance on citizens are paying for those who can't pay.They can't pay, because heartless business is paying them starvation wages.Of course if you're illegal and complain,that would be the only time business would be interested in immigration law.Social security is fast fading because of artificialy low wages and the elitist idea that there should be any limit on income as to who should pay.Infrastructure is crumbling all over America.Most governmental offices are understaffed and under funded.Like the labor hating corporations,government has been trying to wring the last ounce of energy from every employee,giving them the additional duties of retired or fired employees and like worldcorp,requiring them to smile when facing the public.I have noticed people in governmental offices begginning to look like the billboard,sign plastered big box employees.You can see the desperation and misery past the "business"smile.There are so many things that the current elitist philosophy of artificially induced low wages and the hatred of labor,are adversely affecting,that it would take a book to describe them.I am a songwriter,not an author of commentary.I am,however,not at all pleased with the direction my homeland has taken,because of the undue influence of business on government and the corruption of government,that it can be so influenced.Delbert W.
