Corporate and Elite Wellfare, What price?

Everyday I see more examples of how the recession has affected average Americans and then I look at the opposite and see the abuses of the wealthy and the corporations. We have bailed out, cut taxes and rolled over while our elected officials have played to corporate America. The are making more money and we are making less. They continue to receive more tax breaks and cuts while we are told that we are the reason the economy is in such dire condition. They take our money and laugh at the stupidity of the American citizen. They get checks from the government, even though they are making billions of dollars, and pay no taxes. We on the other hand are being tossed out of our homes. We are told to be responsible and save for our own retirement, even though we make minimum wage or slightly above. We are told that because the government used our money, we have to change Social Security, because we are ruining the economy. Wait one minute, think of what I just said! We give trillions, to wealthy and corporations, of our money, not theirs, and when we use our money from Social Security we have to change the system. They get free money and we have to beg for OUR money. This is welfare, plain and simple. They get welfare we get nothing and they are complaining about us.This has to stop. We have to take away the tax breaks for the wealthy and the corporations. They have to pay their part. The, so called experts will tell you that this will hurt the economy, because these are the people that create jobs. What jobs. What are they creating now except more wealth for their selves. This is a sham. This is what they want us to fear. They are trying to scare everyone into believing that they know what is best. We can not remain silent. Look into the faces of the homeless, that could be you next. Look at the children that have to sleep in shelters, this could be your children next. Look at the person beside you that is struggling each day to survive, this could be you next. They will not stop until every person is drained of all hope. Then they will have it all, and we will have nothing. Don't believe that it could happen to you? Do you want to take that chance?
