See this is where I must differ from the road. The U.S Capitol Building, the halls of congress, they are not fucking Vietnam, they are not something to be taken, or controlled, to be conquered, or barricaded, they are something to be revered, respected, utilized for the greater good of the people, and fostered, made more efficient, and less opportunistic. But no. People must refer to the houses of congress as armies in a war, each one fighting to gain an edge in the others territory so that they may install their regime and kick out the others. That system, that mentality, must go, before anything of good use may come to pass. Derision only seeks to divide, and thus one must look for the places where one can compromise, instead of simply digging deeper into one's proverbial fox hole. Unless we can get rid of this; "my side your side" thought process, the country will continue to fall into disrepair, and by consequence, its people along with it.
No until we get rid of the mentality that the rich deserve everything we will continue to fal into disrepair. When I walk by a mansion I get sick in my stomach, those rich should fill the hurt all of us middle class are feeling.
We need warriors in that Capital Hill fighting for us.
Fight warriors, fight.
The rich deserve most of what they have. It is not the government's right to take it from them. I am a very large proponent of the middle class and the poor, however, I refuse to turn this country into a seize and distribute state. We are not going to take multimillion dollar homes in the name of the government, from the people who rightfully own them, only to turn them into very nice, and then very shabby tenements. We must learn to work together, and to compromise, if we are ever to get anything done. If not, then both sides will continue to get ever more radical, at which point it is likely that another Civil War will be upon us. And I refuse to live to see that happen.
