Doing a job

Why don't our public servants do their jobs? They are supposed to represent the people and do what is best for the most people. But the government has become the puppet of the rich and corporations. Those with money are able to tell the lawmakers what to do so they will prosper more and they don't care about anyone else.

If it weren't for government support I would have lost my home and children. But I received money to go to college, food for my daughters, and medical care so we were able to survive. Without it I don't know what we would have done.

It seems that those in charge would rather make more millions for themselves and have so much that they will never be able to spend it all than to let everyone take care of themselves.

The US was the greatest country in the world for a time, but that was decades ago. At school I was always told that the US is the best place to be, but we don't take care of our people. We don't encourage education or family. We are told to idolize stupidity. Our politicians encourage religion and make it out to be so important and that anyone who disagrees with them are horrible. This country wasn't founded on religion, but it seems that the ideals we were founded on have been lost.

Things have gone very wrong in this country and need to change.
