I lost a good friend recently. One that I talked to on almost a daily basis. It all started with a fight over Occupy Wall Street protesters. I had told him never talk politics with me because we don't agree but he couldn't let it go. I have been grieving this loss for a few months now, but I still stand by my original belief. Our American system is broken. It has been corrupted by big business and the politics that have been bought by big business/big money. In my heart, I know that we have to do something about this or face losing our soul as a nation to the corruption that lies at the bottom of this mess.
I have a child and I don't want her to inherit this nest of thieves. I believe that term limits are essential and so is limiting the amount of money that can be given to a politician or a PAC. Lobbyists have got to go. Without some of these fundamental changes to our system, the income disparity will continue to go unchecked.
Losing a friend was hard and I wish that it didn't happen, but I believe that things will work out. I really am an optimist.
