I am not political. Of course I have opinions, but I have never understood why people actually believe that our political system works. In fact, I have found it offensive when we (Americans) comment on the activities or actions of other country's politics or politicians in light of the fact we cannot keep our own country free of corruption.
We have been at war for YEARS, paying out billions to do so. benefiting no one except warmongers. Benefiting no one! $685.1 billion. In fiscal year 2009, the U.S. government allocated total economic and military assistance: $47.7 billion. To countries we "hate".
We spent less than half of this on caring for our own people. Look HERE if you think I am overstating the issue.
Taxation is as old as the bible. And as old as the Bible is the rich who strive to avoid paying their fair share. Their just share. Their proper share.
Cuts to the budget will come from the poor, not to defense, not to the military, not to the rich.
The gap between the poor and the rich is disappearing. At the cost of people's lives, health and future. Who will pay the price? We all will. All of us except the wealthy.

Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
