For god's sake.

We aren't building a better society in America. Instead, we are going into ruin. We are doing nothing to fix America. We are divided. Quibbling. Blaming each other for our plight. For the recession. For the unemployment. For the gridlock in Washington. Our political parties can't even be respectful of each other. Let alone get something done. America is starting to look like a scrap heap. A joke. America really needs an overhaul. Revitalization. I mean with everybody pitching in. We need to pool our resources. I mean a huge tax increase. For just about everyone. But especially for the rich. And let's use the money to rebuild America. Let's pull together for a change. For the sake of survival. For the sake of the American spirit. Yes, for god's sake. --Jim Broede

Unless we Americans change markedly and dramatically, we will fester as a nation. That's the way I see our future. We are in a decline. We have lost the faith. We don't pull together any more. We are at odds with each other. And we are in crisis. I see it every day. It's so obvious. We could pull ourselves out. But we don't want to pay the price. An all-out national effort. A united front. But too many of us want to cling to the old ways. The bickering ways. Maybe the last time we were united was during World War II. We were in decline in the 1930s. But then we rallied. We moreorless pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps. In order to survive. It was that. Or perish. And we're in a similar situation today. We need to rally everything we've got. We all have to go to work. And I mean that literally and figuratively. We all have to contribute. But I don't see it happening. Because America has lost its spirit. --Jim
