Reply #9: Our nation is turning into a nation for the rich, by the rich and of the rich ... [View All]

Which is not surprising if you study history.

Even when you study American history you will find times when the rich oppressed the poor. We have so far been able to rectify such situations throughout our history but it remains to be seen if we can do so in modern times.

Our founding fathers launched an interesting experiment in representative democracy and it succeeded far better than they dreamed. We may be able to overcome the big corporations and the rich and those politicians that they buy and own. We can restore the middle class but I fear we face an uphill battle. The question is if we have the courage of those who went before us.

It's a fight for good and worth the effort. We start at the voting booth.
