It is an easy read and, if one were at a safe remove from the
consequences of the described events, even entertaining. However, if
this article is only 50 percent accurate -- even less -- there is no
safe place in America. In that case, it is reporting what can only be
judged as a crime, and the criminals include those who have allowed and
are allowing it to happen and continue.
Accorded any degree of accuracy, this article raises the question of
just who today's government represents. This economic circumstance was
not an accident, not unavoidable, not the consequence of a few "bad
apples." Rather, it is the net product of self-serving bad governance
by politicians and a political system primarily concerned with keeping
itself in power.
I would, therefore, like to know what you will do about the political
and economic rape we are enduring. If you cannot tell me, I refuse to
continue paying your salary with my vote.
