(51,076 posts)We have to go back to the tax system that gave us the middle class, that gave us our highway system, our airlines, our schools. Go back to the times that allowed anyone willing and wanting to get a better education could. A time where a working person could make enough money to survive to raise a family and enjoy some of the fruits of his or her labor. A time where there was much laughter and not so much cry. A time where we loved our fellow man, oops forgot that that was only only in amongst like people. That is what we have to change pretty close to first things first. Love for our fellow man or woman irregardless of his or her color, sexual orientation or beliefs. That last one, I've been both a Christian and a non-religious person and I'm here to tell you I am a much happier person as a non believer in the religious sense. I believe all things are equal under the laws of nature, whether they be animate or inanimate, whether they fly or swim, walk or run, rest at night or day, shed their leaves in the fall or not. Go dormant in the heat or cold.
We are all in this together and it is important that each of us be our brother or sisters keeper, work together towards a common good, simple as that
