Questions never asked.......

 The broadest question never asked to the people of the United States of America is "What or Where do you want to do with this country." Do you want a dynamic country with multiple areas people can work in and earn enough for medical, homes, education, retirement and most importantly daily living or a future where the jobs are limited, cities continue to implode into empty centers and you and your family actually are required to be supported by a  vast and growing number of social programs!

Both possible futures are attainable from where you set today.  Both are real in what we can have.  Both are being designed by you, by your choices of leadership and a hundred times more by your refusal to make real decisions.

I know we can have better schools.  I know we can have safer streets.  I know we can produce any object that you want to buy at a cost you can afford if you also have a wage that meets the increases in insurance, homes, bank costs, fuel and add on taxes.  (An aside here, if you look at wage increase along with loss of benifits, you will also see that every cost but food rose at ten or more percent yearly while your wages lost ground, is it surprising to you that you could not buy American when your real wages, real hourly amount fell as every other cost you had rose!)

I can, you can change the face, the direction of America.  Some would say we can overthrow the heavy hand that has made you in debt, taken away jobs and spent billions saving the money bags at your cost.

 We can have education that is great at all levels.  Streets that are safe along with your homes and cars.  Taxes that are equal for all.  Jobs that pay enough to allow you great medical, retirement and a daily living.  Manufacturing that again shows that we produce the best in the world from cars to toys, made in America cloths to tools that you are proud to buy and can afford, all of this is available to you.

But not with the political two party system.

MiddleAmerican2010, allowing many a real voice between two parties that have done so much harm to America.
