Knocking around in this small brain, big head of mine these past couple of days has been: damn, are the rich getting exactly what they want? Is THE war headed THAT way!?
As has been expressed it often feels like the true struggle of our generation (and past generations too) is one between have and have not. Bush exacerbated the situation but by no means did he start it. Sadly it feels like, to paraphrase Warren Buffett, the have nots are having less and less as the days drag on. For instance why would we not put some of the $700bil into helping homeowners? Why would we not put it towards a higher minimum wage and get the money directly into the economy again? So many questions really but all the answers lead, in a general direction, to the have nots having less and less.
Can things change? It certainly is in the air isn't it? Hopefully it will and hopefully some of the proposals I am reading about will become our new reality.
