I see no one talking about the real problems that are affecting the American people!

The Government spends trillions of dollars of our tax money on give a ways to other countries and war/police actions so a few in this country and other countries get rich, or should I say richer!

We see our children killed or coming home with missing body parts and the rich people who live in and out of the USA get richer from our tax dollars.

We Americans have to work longer hours and to older age and with less vacation/free time than the rest of the developed world so we can support the world---lets stop this bull and support our country's people first. We have now reduced SS payouts to our people and have cut interest rates on savings so low that are older Americans will not have a life of any value after they can no longer work. Plus our great government keeps rising the age for SS and we all know that once a person not in a government job get older than 50 they have little hope on getting a job or for many holding on to their middle level corporate jobs.---We see who the Government supports and cares nothing about!

Now we are supporting give-a-ways in the many 100's of billion dollars to countries that have 3 times are growth rate and who currencies have gain over 30% to the USA Dollar --why, because the pigs are making more money at the cost of the poor to middle class American.

Our major Corporations and the Rich have major investment outside the USA, and they what us to pay to make those investments valued to its max by our Government give-a-ways to other countries of our tax dollars--and we are..

In addition products manufacture in Asia comes to our stores with such low prices, in many cases at lower than the prices sold in Asia and yet American made products sell from 2 to 5 times the USA price in Asia. What great free trade agreements our government supports. Has any one seen large or small price decreases on imported goods that were once produced in the USA--the answer is NO! Just the Rich making more money and America getting poorer with little or no future for our children.

Keep our tax dollars in the USA and stop being the Police and Army of the World--just match the average number of soldiers and dollars sent by the other countries in NATO. After all the American people should have a life not just the other countries. Stop spending on supporting the world--save that money and use it to support America.

Tax the hell out of imports like the rest of the world and increase the tax rates for profits of $10,000,000 and greater for sources of production outside the USA and $50,000,000 for all others and rise the Federal and State income taxes to the 65% rate on income over $1,000,000. Increase the tax rate for all companies that do not provide medical insurance and a livable pension plan based on the real interest rates and cost of living in affect.

Set the rates that doctors and hospitals can charge by medical service performed to real levels and limit the insurance cost and payouts for medical liability---after all should not the real cost be a crime. Control the cost of drugs, not that you can not import same--reduce the cost to Americans so the cost is the same all over the World--not that Americans have to pay more for the same drug!

When will a person run for office that will address the real problems that faces the American people who are not the Rich pigs? Let are tax dollars reduce our cost of living and let our people have a life other than work and a real life for most if not all of the older Americans who worked. After all that is what Government employees get and the rich will still get richer just not mush greater than the cost of living increases.
