Doctor Grandma

It occurs to me that we all work too dang hard. This is most people. This is America. Hard working people with strong beliefs and ethics. We work so hard just to pay our bills, have a little groceries and a tv set. Some of us busted our backs earning a PhD and it’s still that way. We LOVE our work, we are dedicated to what we do, but there’s no extra money, there’s no yacht, much vacation, luxuries, or even new clothes. I just think people in America are working too dang hard for very little return. Unions have become the bad guy, corporate America keeps raking in the profits, Congressmen serve themselves and live in some other world on the opposite side of the moon, and the world is crazy. Everyone’s running around working hard and trying to move up, and we all basically manage to just tread water. Today, 1 in 10 are even losing their HOMES. This just isn’t fair. Something is very wrong w/ this picture. It makes me very sad when I can’t even help my kids out because we can barely pay our own bills. There was a time in my long life that we lived without hot water. My mother lived in the same town and didn’t help us out. I can’t imagine watching my kids go through that and not paying their gas bill, especially when those were my grandkids in that house. But that’s just me. I think sometimes BECAUSE of what I’ve been through, I am even more sensitive to it. We all have to find our own way in life. But when you’re a mom, you just don’t want your kids to suffer. I think at my age, I pictured life a little different by this time. I am HAPPY, it’s just that you look around and realize, most of America is in this same spot, but those at the top of Banks, Insurance companies and Politics just keep on arguing about who else below them they can rip off somehow. They will cut it all before they TAKE a cut and show themselves worthy of anyone’s respect. But it doesn’t matter and they know it. They just keep doing it. Because they can.
