Life as the new Lower Middle Class.

[marions ghost]

48. My view is not so rosy

We are not living in the same times as our grandparents. What's a "good shake" these days? What's the correction for this? I don't think anyone really knows at this point.

I'm tired of trying to "correct" a system that is corrupt to the core. The 1% will continue to take and take. These Corporate Rethuglicons are not capable of reform. Their narcissist/ sociopathic traits will allow them to exploit the rest of us without the slightest bit of guilt or concern for the good of the whole. They have demonstrated this for several years now. I have business-oriented relatives who have money and influence, and those who don't. I see the situation clearly. It's not theoretical to me.

I think many Americans will be forced into extreme austerity conditions before it's all over.

I hope you're right and that people will get mad enough. Maybe when they can no longer get their anti-depressants. That is what it will take. The type of anger that makes people band together and fight back. Because it will never be granted by the 1% rich corporates.
