On becoming a decent example.

Seems to me that if Republicans had their way, they'd hire and grossly overpay private corporate bosses and bankers to run government. Yes, Republicans are in love with the private sector. And especially private entrepreneurs that have become monetarily rich. Republicans have a disdain for democracy. For ordinary, every-day citizens running government. They want business-oriented Republicans to run the show instead. Yes, people dedicated to old-fashioned, money-grubbing capitalism. In other words, robbing the not-so-affluent to further pad the already bulging pockets of the rich. I’m a liberal. With socialist leanings. I prefer taking from the filthy rich to ease the burdens of the impoverished poor and underclasses. Yes, the redistribution of the nation's wealth. As I think are most Americans. Because it’s the right and moral thing to do. The serving of the common good. Many Americans have been duped by the Republicans and their nonsensical platitudes. Also known as bullshit. But I’m sensing that Americans are wising up. If so, the USA will finally reach its positive potential. And become a decent example for the rest of the world. –Jim Broede
