Where is the justice when we live supposedly in the richest country in the world and there are individuals who, while performing to the best of their ability, still do not earn enough money to provide adequate food and health coverage for their families?

As an example there are some who, through no fault of their own, will have trouble graduating from high school, perhaps due to low IQ or learning disabilities. Are they less an American than some others who start out life as multi-millionaires and get privileged training and education?

If an individual gets a job sweeping up trash, cleaning toilets in a mall or other low-income jobs, can you tell me why they do not deserve to receive money and benefits enough to feed their families and be provided with health care?

Is it simply that it would cut into corporate profits or that millionaires may have to pay a bit more in taxes?

Can we say that our leaders, by putting self above country, are contributing to the theft of our great nation and the eventual collapse of the republic?

Would our honest patriots please stand up!
