People Who are Not Afraid

Healthcare is so expensive. Our health should be number one. A strong , fighting society, ready to support its government. Instead, we are weakened by poor healthcare, poor wages and housing and generally a poor middle class that is hindered by the upper class that refuses to support anything but it's own selfish needs. How does a country survive like that. I guess like we have, tons of people hoping that the rich will have a heart and help out while they become billionaires. More middle clas becoming working poor  and a society that continues to think this is OK. I'm saddened. Now we prepare to celebrate the Independence Day of these United States. It's not right.

My Sowing is what has reaped.  We all have a price to pay for our society. The classism, sexism, and racism have affected our society to the point of destruction. Racism just happens to be at the top of its ugly head. How a society treats their less fortunate is a reflection of the society as a whole. Since when do the wealthy deprive their workers of a decent living, I guess now. This society thinks only of itself. The depression taught us how difficult it is to help our less fortunate. Unless we want to see the country in that state again then we had better do some serious reform or things will get worse. People are not paid a living wage, families can't survive on the pittance that they are given. The attitude is, I've got mine, you get yours. I'm wealthy, you are not. Oh well, better luck next life is what they seem to say. Their wealth is made on the backs of the poor and disenfranchised but they don't see that. Cut any government program that helps the poor. It's more of an I've got mine, you get yours society. The equality and pulling your self up by your bootstraps is non existent. It's more crabs in a barrel striving to get to the top and drowning those on the bottom. When did we stop caring for the less fortunate. Only those who display their misfortune to the world on social media and television are able to reap a meager benefit. Even then it's contingent on if people find their plight interesting enough to contribute. We have to audition for help now. Are we worthy enough to be helped, do we meet the criteria for help or are we cast aside for a more needy individual? We all need help of some kind, now we have to audition for help and hope we get enough likes or hits to reach the mainstream heartstrings. Since when did we have to apply to social media or television for help? Do others feel too many people need help and it's not real because their lives and friends are not in that situation? How do we show the reality without being the reality? Making it real to everyone who can help is the problem. Do people think it's only a few?

Our society right now has what it takes to  help the poor and middle class but it has chosen to deprive them of success. The people know what should be done but refuse to do it because of greed. They now boast billions and show no remorse. Succession of the environment will overturn the people who have tried to to ignore the poor and middle class. God will not allow us to die off. We are going to be the change that the world desires. People will revolt, when the rich ignore them . The French Revolution should have taught society something. You cannot ignore people's sufferings and think that everything will stay the same. There was a time when society could take care of their family and be alright, now all we see is greed. Evil flourishes in greed. Our government has to redeem itself. Take care of the people or it will continue to decline, no matter who is in charge. Take off the mask, stop ignoring the plight of others and help the poor and middle class. They have the money and the means but refuse to help. What will that look like in history. How much money do you really need? I suppose no worse than Jackson and the Indian migration  resulting in the mass migration and deaths or the legal sergration  of Jim Crow laws. What ever it takes to make people happy? How's that working out now. The sins of the father are coming into fruition now. Will something effective and long lasting be done or will another bandaid be placed on the situation? Hard cboices have to be made. History can't change but the present and the future can make an effort to change wrongs to rights. God will judge us for our actions.

What does it look like now? People are suffering and the ones who can help are negligently ignoring the past harms and refusing to see how they are affecting the present and the future. The children of these oppressed and afflicted people are living through this era now. The same rules cannot apply to the oppressed as they were applied before. The stakes have not been fairly applied. Just because the government took away segregation does not mean it was applied to every situation for every one. How can a state be allowed to carry a confederate flag from a war that the U.S. won, and use it over their state Capitol. That's like allowing a swatzika to fly It's flag over germany's state house. It's just not right. After the civil war, southerners had to pledge alliance to the union, so now we allow their flag of dissention and decisiveness to fly proudly over one of the first states to wage war against the union. How does that show unity. Are we United or not? That's still a huge question? United we stand, divided we fall. The union is disjointed. We really have to have a debate on whether a  devisive flag that stand for slavery, segregation and old standards should still stand on the state capital of a state that claims to be part of our United States should still stand? I wonder why this is even up for discussion. If we can't unite the states 150 years later, will we ever be able to unite them? Racism is the biggest problem in this country. Economic disparity has kept us from many opportunities of unity. Help out the classism and we help out racism. Stop damning the poor and help them. There is no reason for the intense poverty in a country that claims to stand on liberty and justice for all. We fight wars overseas because of injustice to their people and cannot show justice to our own people who have fought and built this country for over two hundred years. The irony is appalling. Give a person a chance to prove themselves. Stop putting people in a derogatory situation and then blame them for being there. Help somebody to do better. Lift them up, not tear them down, and don't stop with one, help many and see what happens. God will reward those that help, not hurt. I'm just speaking my mind in a situation that has been a part of my life for many, many years. When do we really work together for all people in this country and not just for the few. Classism is the problem now.
