While people are playing around with the government shutdown, there are people who have NO skin in the game controlling and playing with and on the emotions and livelihoods of millions of Americans. My mother, whom is retired military and a retired State of Texas employee WILL NOT get her checks while the elected congressmen dick around with their gang affiliation-esque political party to the public while they have their own checks coming. Their checks are coming in, if not from the same government that they want to shut down, from the businesses that are lining their coffers to keep this BS cesspool going.
It is somehow funny that people are so against Unions when our government is a union. Our states are a part of a union. And in NO job can an employee tell their boss, THE TAX PAYERS, screw you we want to do it our own way. We understand that you little people voted for ACA, but who cares. Whether you agree with it or not is besides the point. WE work for businesses. the same businesses who are in the clear because they can fire their employees, post higher than ever profits and then blame it on ACA, and YOU voters will blame it on the President. Never once will you use that "Good ole American" wisdom and realize that it is not a logical argument to say that 7 million new paying customers added to a program will cost a program more money. Short of some infrastructure adjustments and having to hire some AMERICANS to work, it is not possible. I know Big Pharma doesn't want it because it will cap what they can charge. Some price gouging doctors don't want it because they can't Gouge. And some businesses want ALL the money. Profit isn't a bad word, but it becomes one when it is more important than the people helping you to attain those profits. Again, there is NO business that doesn't want millions of new customers. In today's time, you cant even comment on a post without giving your information so you can be added to a pool as a customer. But yet, I am supposed to believe that "company" is going to crumble because of new people being added? I say again, the reason why Businesses and some ignorant/racists/Elitist (or all three) don't want it is because of Menu pricing, and a level playing field. And for whatever reason giving people a level playing field is somehow wrong. Should it be banded with Gay rights for it to be accepted? Women's Rights? Immigration rights?
When will our American public realize that Congress is supposed to listen to us and not us listen to them. We are in control. We are so quick to holler "Our Tax Dollars" when it comes to our equal peer group(s). We complain about our tax money when we are being pandered too. When they talk about the tax money used towards social platforms dealing with the poor, or welfare, or food stamps, or Blacks, or immigrants. But yet we seem to have forgotten that we pay their salary and for their "free" healthcare. Remember, these are official government employees. They collect pay checks from our tax money whether they work or not. The kickbacks they get from lobbyists is also a problem. The rich doesn't spend money -they collect it. Guess from who..
The country is supposed to be of the people, By the people, and For the people. Yet somewhere we have forgotten that. I understand that economics play a part. Lets be real, the true divisiveness among most Americans when it comes to most of the "integration" issues is among lower economic stature of people. Because you're the only ones who have to mesh. You had to mesh with blacks for jobs, education, benefits, and others. The elite upper economic echelon doesn't have to deal with that. So they play us against each other. You don't realize that we ALL are in this together. The party line doesn't care for you until it is time to vote. Then they want you to fight and think that you somehow are the same as them. It is the ultimate mind control. Congress has NO fear of the people. They absolutely do NOT care. and it is our fault.
So what do we do? When do we take back this great nation from the hired help that is running a muck. Where is the new crop of true leaders? Where is the demand of what we ask. There is a reason people in Egypt, Greece, Syria, and other locales (often exempt from US news) that are marching and protesting for this very reason. Were is what made America AMERICA at?
Like a Facebook friend (Cris Colbert) says-
The Constitution (Article 5) allows for dissolving the Congress.
...just putting it into the universe.

Are blacks merely a commodity to the american society?
Good day all, my apologies for being absent lately. I look to definitely post 3-4times a week. Here we go for today....
The following comment was posed by one of my favorite people to debate with on Facebook. It is the following:
"I find it interesting that so many people have convinced themselves that we are living in a post-racial society, yet the three of the biggest news stories of the day lay bare the fact that we are not. The Trayvon Martin case, the Paula Deen story, and the SCOTUS' decisions on affirmative action and the VRA show that both individuals and our government still cling to antiquated views (masked as progressive) about about race and the place of black people in American society."
. and it made me think.
Here is my thoughts:
As Blacks, we don't have a common strand to which we fight for anymore. It's sad to say, it died with MLK and the other black leaders of the day. Unfortunately, the NAACP is not seeming to be in the corner of blacks, but almost as a "UN" of black delegates with a unique agenda, instead of one that encompasses a group. They have become in essence, what our congress has become- for the people(of congress), by the people (of congress). Just as Congress has blatantly disregarded what constituents
Our extent of action is to uprise solely with a universal enemy, which is always the most easy thing to "hate" (9/11,Terrorists bombers), or against a white person saying the N word (Paula deen, Kramer, so many more), We as blacks are the most easily appeased people out there. As long as an apology is given, we are fine. In relation to a person who offends gays, there is a steep penalty to pay. You will have to do PSA's, get counseling, speak at a conference, give money, lose sponsors and job(s), and possibly are cast down in society. If you Offend Jewish people,(except for Mel Gibson) there is hell to pay. These groups seem to have more pride and content for what they are. For us, an apology and the obligatory handshake and photo-op from your black representative of choice, Sharpton, or Jackson. Afterwards, show up at a heat game, sit next to Jay-Z, and appear on a tyler perry sitcom, and all is forgiven. we wont even support our own who is being castrated for other outspoken blurbs. We didn't take up for Dave Chapelle, Tracey Morgan, or any others. even if the comments are wrong that they say, we do NOT jump on board to protect our own from excessive abuse. we look at it and do nothing.
A big part of this societal non-interference is Because of this, big business knows we are nothing more than a cheap conduit to a financial pool. Government is no longer an entity set up to govern and instill laws and order, it is a business; albeit one run poorly. but it is widely understood that if you Want to sell a product, and test it out first.... Give it to a rapper. It'll spread faster than anything. We are the low cost cheap alternative. We are blackberry today,while whites are apple, Hispanics are android, and all the rest mixed in. So, will our government business ever stop trying to hold on to the tried and true indentured customer test base, no! And why should they, we aren't demanding change. We just sit back and talk about, while writing a post defending the need to love beyonce and indulge in hip hop/R&b divas.
