Sick of both

I have been reading all the bashing on here for Obama, Democrats, Republicans, Bush, etc.  Frankly it is getting ridiculous.   You see, reading these posts makes me think of what Congress does.  Everybody is bickering and nobody is doing anything.  The comparison is not meant to put anyone in particular down, it is just getting old, just like our government (including both parties). 

Frankly, I don't believe either party runs this country anymore.  I believe the financial institutes, oil companies, pharmeceutical companies, automotive industry, etc. run this country.  All the special interest groups have taken over for a long time.  Laws in this country are there to protect them, not us. 

I really don't know the answer on how to fix this, other than firing all the members of congress and the president and starting over.  I really wish we could do that.  Again, no any party or president in particular. 

It is such a shame because anybody out there who would honestly do a good job without favoring big business would never make it.  They don't have the support of the big business and the money from these big businesses for support.  It is horrible.  This country is going down the tubes.  It has been for a long time, not just this year or even just the Bush years.  Congress reminds me of a bunch of children who are just going to argue and argue and never get anything done.  There is no such thing as what would benefit the country, just which party would be benefited or which big businesses would benefit. 

We are rolling into another election.  Frankly, I know I should vote, but I don't want any of them.  Even in the political ads, they spend money and air time slamming the other guy, instead of talking about what they are going to do for the country.  They ALL make promises and don't keep them.  The only thing going on in this country is the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.  I am not knocking the rich or the poor.

My grandparents came to this country many years ago and worked very hard.  They saved their money and worked many hours and they started a business.  The business is still strong and going today.  They got that way by selling products at a fair price and valuing their customers, not by ripping us off and demanding huge profit margins.  They lived well, but did not do it at the expense of the public and not to the degree that corporate biggies think they need to live at these days.  They realized the value of making the customer happy and not the value of how many tax loopholes they can use and how high they could go on price before customers started complaining.  They would have never thought of sending work overseas to make more money.  They loved this country and kept all their work here. 

We need people in office who are not willing to sleep with big corporate heads to benefit themselves.  We need people that are willing to stop this nonsense and driving our country into the ground.  We need people who believe that if you want to live here, you need to do it the legal way.  We do not need to support and pay for people that come here illegally.  They need to go back to where they came from and do it the right way.  We need to take on the attitude of taking care of our citizens instead of taking care of everybody else in the world.  We are the ones paying their salaries, not these other countries.  We need to stop bailing out big businesses everytime their profits are not big enough.  We need to make these big businesses responsible for their actions instead of us fixing it when something goes wrong for them.

Do I have the answer.  No!  But, I do think we need candidates that are of another party besides the dems or the pubs.  I believe we need a party for America and not parties for the dollar.

Thanks for listening to my vent.  I am just sick of the childish political games that go on all the time and wish we as the people could figure out how to make it stop.  We need to take back our country from the big business people and their puppets, our government!
