The wealthy and powerful make more money in the form of more dividends and more profits for stock holders. When they tell us they have to cut services or benefits or raise taxes, we are supposed to stand by and let them do it. The point is that the people who are supposed to represent us, the ones in the community and state and national government who have a government job, they are trying to protect the wealthy and powerful, while giving the rest of us nothing. How about that? I think we should demand more from our government. We should demand that the government protect us from big business and Wall Street. We should demand that the government provide basic services for all of us, such as decent health care and adequate nutrition for all.
