This is just sad.

These numbers should bring out our pride and want to make this country better and improve.

Instead, one side uses it to show how bad off we are and that there is no hope, the other side ignores the numbers or makes fun of them.

Goddamn people, this is my fucking country and the place my children will grow up in. maybe you don't fucking care about your children or what happens. Perhaps you are independantly wealthy and don't give a damn about anything but lower taxes. Perhaps, you feel the government is fucked up and you would rather see us fail then to find ways to be better.

I don't fucking care what it is. IT IS TIME TO FIX THE SYSTEM, BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND FUCKING GROW UP. PAY THE FUCKING TAXES AND STOP CRYING, WORK TO INCREASE PAYROLLS AND DEMAND THAT BENEFITS START BEING INCLUDED.

IT IS TIME TO TELL THE FUCKING HEALTHCARE COMPANIES TO FUCK OFF AND EITHER PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE OR THE GOVERNMENT WILL STEP IN.

IT IS TIME TO REBUILD THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM AND SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HOW BAD IT IS.

IT IS TIME TO FUCKING TIGHTEN OUR BELTS, AND AGREE THAT WE WANT A BETTER NATION AND WORK FOR ONE.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE PETTY DIFFERENCES AND THE FUCKING GREED AND JUST DO SOMETHING.

Me, I volunteer at the library and tutor adults to read, I work in Public service as an addictions counselor and I work my ass off to help people better themselves.

I may not get rich doing what I'm doing, but I don't give a damn. When my time comes I can look at myself in a mirror and say I helped my brothers and I tried to better people. I can face my God and say I did the best I could and affected people and my community positively.

I don't have to go to my God on my knees and say, I cried about taxes and I made millions while others starved and I gave money to charities that actually used 10% of it to help people. I don't have to go to my God and say I worshipped the dollar and I didn't give a damn about anyone else because I made mine. I don't have to face my God and tell him i didn't believe in fair healthcare for all, because I had it and those that didn't well..... they were too lazy to have it.

That's a fucked up way to live.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
