This is election day November 2, 2010. There is no real change in sight despite the many changes likely to happen in the next few days. The needed change for the benefit of the middle class is not being mentioned by our politicians or any political pundit on the tube. The silence is deafening and defining. The issue is Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, but no one is addressing the greatest reason for our joblessness. Even Glenn Beck, who says most of the right things is silent on this most important issue that prevents any possibility of economic growth.
On the NBC channel today a Democratic analyst noted how this recession was different from all the recessions of the past. This recession is not cyclical but systemic. He failed to mention the Democratic supposed solution of stimulus spending was the wrong call. We cannot spend our way to a growing economy! The economy will not work for the people until the systemic problem of free trade is addressed.
As things stand, the working American is being asked to shoulder the costly burden of this selfish economic policy that only works for the fat cats. Our jobs go overseas for the sake of the corporate bottom line and the corporate stockholders. The American worker is being betrayed.
To this point we have been accepting of the Free Trade reality but we are angry. It is why Meg Whitman and Carly Forina might fail in their grossly expensive bids for elected office in California. They both participated in the betrayal of the American worker by corporate America. It is, however, hypocritical of Barbara Boxer to run those adds for she sat in Washington for the last 26 years and made the betrayal possible.
We are angry. There is no good reason why anyone should listen to this unknown quantity but please allow me to take a stab at the obvious. We the people are now bounty hunters. Every politician who is content to take the big business dollars, regardless of party affiliation, Republican or Democrat, will not survive. The sleeping American voter is awake, no politician can promote jobs while remaining silent about trade reform and supporting illegal immigration. American worker, for all of our sakes, for our children’s sake, stand up and demand change!
The only creditable pundit to speak up for us is Donald Trump. Please allow me to quote him on Fox News this afternoon, “I don’t care about China”. What a refreshing statement! Donald Trump cares about the American worker and our needed manufacturing base. We will run scared no longer. Fox news, you are a consistent voice for the conservative cause but it would seem that you are resisting involvement in this issue because of the Almighty advertising dollar.
We want to hear more from Donald Trump on behalf of the American middle class.
