I am old enough to know life is
not fair.
I know the old saying of, the rich
get richer
and the poor get more kids...
I was raised knowing I would never
be wealthy.
Not even well off... I would be
working for the
low end of the scale... and when
they talk about
the low income and find out mine
isn't even
that much.. for most of my life.
I always lived within my means..
always thinking
can I afford this, if I was on
unemployment. If not
then I did without.
Second hand stores have always
been one of
my priority shopping centers. When I had kids
it was a necessity. New clothes were for Christmas
for replenishing school clothes.
And I never really minded as it
was life and we were
happy. We had ourselves and
friends.. the things that
really mattered. As long as we had a roof over our
head and food for us to eat.. the
bills paid.. we were
good. We enjoyed outdoors, fishing and hunting..
camping out. We didn't miss going on vacations.
This was life and we figured life
was good. Maybe
that is when things got bad twice
in the country,
we didn't notice, as we weren't
high spenders in
the first place. You can't miss
what you never had.
But I got to say, as I watch shows
like 60 minutes,
with the towns in Virginia and
West Virginia.. and I
know they are far from the only
ones...that are so
poor with mines and etc. closing
down and etc.
That they have a free clinic
motorhome that
travels from town to town, giving
free health care
to those who can't afford it. Not even Obama
care. They have food banks, that give enough
food to the families for a week.
For those who's members
worked in the mines and got laid
off a couple years ago.
They tell how one woman who died
since they broadcasted
the show.. and a young man who died of diabetes
complications. We know of all the families who
are living homeless in their
cars...and the Vets.
So when you read about how Hilary
Clinton gives
herself $250,000 salary while she
is running for
President.. out of her campaign
money (I didn't
know that was legal) and the
millions AND
BILLIONS being spend on campaigns
by ALL the
candidates.....................
Well, it is just hard to
understand.. It is hard to
understand, that hundreds of
thousands are
spend just to print their name or
say their name
on a television ad. Millions each,
being spend to try to
get people to change their
minds..........
while children go to bed hungry IN
THE USA.
How the government.... Congress...
demands
you find health insurance some
how.. or you
will be fine..... while they sit
there in Washington
DC... with the best, finest high
ended health insurance
that you and I as tax payers are
pay for.
Don't know about you....BUT..that
is hard for me..
