Voters Beware!
With the midterm elections coming in two weeks, it is time to do some serious thinking and not vote out of emotions. I know people are angry. We are angry about the lack of jobs and a bad economy. Those who voted for President Obama are angry because they have not seen change. Conservatives are angry because they lost the last election and could not pursue their agenda of turning this nation into a fascistic, theocracy. Still, we need to control the anger and think about what we are really voting for.
Throwing your votes away on the Republicans and Tea Party candidates is wrong and dangerous. By doing this voters are playing into the hands of corporations and the wealthy. This will only consolidate their power, which will hasten the destruction of the middle class. In the name of tax breaks and controlling spending, they will destroy social security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, public education and any programs that help people. The tax breaks will only benefit them, while our taxes remain the same or increase. The lack of tax revenue will lead to more cuts in services.
Our nation is in danger of becoming a plutocracy with a government by the rich and for the rich. Our democracy will fail if we let this happen. People have moved too far right by listening to ideas that are supported by the wealthy and big corporations. The people need to take back our control. We need to grow the middle class and restore the American Dream for everyone not just the few. If we vote out of anger and ignorance instead of thinking our nation will do down the toilet.
