I wrote a comment on facebook the other day regarding the american people, but i wasn't talking about the the name in the since you may think. This has to do with politicans, and pundits who are for one side or the other on certain issues having to do with our economy.
The issue i am talking about has to do with politicians who beat a drum everyday, and say the american people are angry regarding rising taxes, the debt, government spending, and growing government. And then there are the protesters, the Tea Partiers, and so on. A fair argument!
I want you to take a look at these photos:
Take a good look at these two photos, and think about what you see because there is something missing. Have you figured it out yet? Well what is missing are any other cultures that make up the rest of the American People. I do not see any Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hispanics, or African Americans or any other cultures that make up this land. Why is that? If the American People are angry, then why are only a portion of the populace represented here in these two photos? Politicans should not stand before the country and try to make this argument because not all of the american feel the same way as the people in this photo, and if there are others who feel this way then i'm sure it would not be difficult for them to be a part of these protests so they too can be heard..
Me myself i am a simple guy, and sometimes it's hard to understand these complicated issues because there are so many different feelings that are involved, and in most cases these things can get pretty heated. If there is someone out there that can explain to me why the other races are not represented in these photos as american people please comment and tell me why.
The people in these photos say their freedoms are being taken away yet they are free to go to the whitehouse and protest their anger. Did the government stop them from protesting? They were able to buy plane tickets, buy gas to get to their destination in washington. They were free to talk to their neighbors to ask them to come, they are free to watch whatever they want on television, and radio. They are free to put their kids in whatever school they want, buy any car they want. I mean what freedoms are they talking about? No one has taken their guns. Which brings me to a point. A security guard was shot and killed at the Holocaust museum because conservative talkshow hosts put out a rumor that the President of the United States was going to come and take their guns. I did a fact check on this issue and found out that it was never said by the President. So someone lost their life because of this bad behavior, and the shooter also stated that he thought President Obama was going to come and take his guns.................
Well!!!
Getting back to freedoms! All of us live in these United States, we are free to drive anywhere we want. We usually get there by driving on the roads, stopping at red lights, going across bridges, and having street lights light up the highways at night. Someone has to pay for these convienences or we can drive on dirt roads like they did in the early days. So then we all have to pay taxes, what is the big deal? Where are the stories that someone has gone bankrupt because they had to pay taxes. Maybe if they are doing something wrong like not paying their taxes and get caught then maybe they can go bankrupt from all the penalties. We as americans have to pay taxes, and some have to pay more because they make more. But here's the thing. they can afford to pay more and they will always still have a little or a lot more then the middle class after paying their taxes, but if the middle class has to pay more in taxes then it affects him a lot more then a person who has more to begin with.
In a nutshell the rich are very unhappy about this. Fair argument! Then explain to me how things get paid for in this country if we all use the services of this country, i,e police dept, fire dept, and the US military which protects us from the bad guys.
Here are two more photos:
Notice anything different?
There seems to be more of a representation of the American People in these next two photos. So whether you are for one party or another that is fine, but when you talk about the American People as if they only represent one group, then that is a problem to me and I am sure to others, because everyone of us is an American.
