I WANT MY DAMN COUNTRY BACK !!

[kentuck]

I want my country back to what it was when we were not fighting in two wars overseas.

I want my country back to what it was when we had a balanced budget and did not have to borrow to pay for what we needed.

I want my country back to what it was when the rich paid their fair share of taxes.

I want my country to be what it was when we only spent $300 billion per year on the military.

I want my country to have jobs for everyone that wants one - where the jobless rate is below 4%.

I want my country back to what it was when we did not have to put our Social Security into the general revenue fund.

I want my damn country back to what it was before George W Bush and the Republicans and the right-wing nut-jobs put us into this terrible situation that we are in today.

Yes, I want my country back from the assholes that stole it!

On edit :sarcasm: in response to the "Tea Baggers" that "want their country back".

6. Sorry. Except for the military, everything else has been out sourced...

and even some of that has been out sourced.

8. The PTB would likely argue with you about just who's country it is.

I absolutely concur that we need to return to a sensible form of governance, I fear any attempt to continue to follow the model currently employed, we'll find ourselves here again. Don't accept the frame of existence they might trick you into believing is the only way.

It's good to see you out and about, Sir Tuck. :hi:

9. Thank you jotsy.
