Frustration At Its Finest
Whaddaya Gonna Do For Me, Mr. McCain- Mr Obama? Like a lot of us here in America, I struggle to get by every day. I make very little money and do a job nobody particularly wants. I work with needy folks every day. What we do is commendable and honorable, but you don't see us pulling in million dollar bonuses! There are those of us who would give their eye teeth for one percent of what these CEOs and other corporate moguls make in a given year. I'm very frustrated and I'm sick to death about hearing how this "bailout" is helping! Who is it helping???? I’m sorry the CEO of ABC Company can't take his family to the Cayman Islands for Christmas this year! I have trouble getting through every day on a true working man's dollar! How about giving us some of your salaries- so I don't have to tell my daughter she'll have to forgo those new sneakers (yeah I buy the cheap ones) or how I pray I can make it through the week on a very small gas budget on my very old car! I cannot stand all the whining coming from upper echelon corporate America anymore. Come walk in our shoes awhile and see how it feels.Stop being "politicians" and start helping "we the people"-Nobody wants anybody in office who cannot help its own constituents! I pay my taxes every year; I stay out of trouble and mind my own backyard. I'm a single mom and I do vote!
