Majority Rule!

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit if there's even anyone out there paying attention to my rants! The Obama campaign had me busy!! But I am back!!

Our government was created on the principle of majority rule. But now that the majority has shifted, you in the minority come out with these messages of doom and disaster in our path. If you are the "patriots" you have described yourselves as, then you should give some credence and reverence to the principles of this countries constitutional right to chose who will lead us by majority . Would you change it? Would you destroy our constitution and silence the majority just to get what you want?

We just spent 8 very long and devastating years in the "minority" of this countries politics. Does no one remember what this country was like economically before George Bush? You that complain you are losing everything you have "worked so hard for" weren't complaining that you were losing everything during the 1990s! You were just as well off then as you are today if not more so. Yet those of us in the minority have sat back and did with less and less, year to year. Lower pay increases, higher insurance costs, lower wage jobs, higher gas prices, higher heating bills, higher grocery costs.... how many times have you heard someone say... "everything is going up but our paychecks????"

Those of you that are whining now that you are going to lose everything, are being a bit over dramatic if you ask me. Some of us down on the bottom, the ones thats hard work apparently isn't worth the same as yours, have been making sacrifices for a good while now. You forget that it's our meager incomes buying your goods and services that keep you wealthy. It has nothing to do with working hard or not. Tax cuts for the middle class are not tax cuts for people that haven't been willing to "work hard" as you put it. We work very hard. Some of us work 48 hours a week or more and still barely make ends meet. Considering a person making minimum wage can work 40 hours a week and still be below the poverty line takes the whole lazy makes you poor statement off the table.

We will go back to the tax tables of the late 1990's. The only thing you are going to lose is your precious tax cut that Bush gave you. The same one that paired with the war helped dig the big hole we call our deficit. The middle class didn't get that break. We sat here and paid relatively the same amount of taxes we did in the 90s the past 8 years. But now that someone wants to give US the break... you guys just can't stand it. Well you had your turn, and now it's ours. Thank goodness you are in the minority!!! Greed is a very ugly thing.
