We are fast becoming a nation of two classes of people again. This time, it will not be white and black, but rich and poor. In both cases, the government was and is behind each separation.

The U.S. Government has a history of putting itself first while it bullies and lies to the rest. That history has been developed over time. Our forefathers created a nation that was by the people and for the people. Since then, greed turned it all around.

The people are as much to blame for this as the government. Too many watched and did nothing. Life was too good, we thought. The truth is that life was controlled. Now we are owned. That is what happens when you let the government take and take. You simply get taken.

Today we vote out of fear because of it all. At the same time, the government gets richer while you lose and lose. Where is your pension?

Those who run our lives must be laughing out loud. Slavery is back. What a shame.
