This Was Once Great Country

Today I'm hearing and reading the celebrations of our stock market breaking a new record. It's the featured story on every major website, news network and trending on social media site.

However, this celebration is in vain and bleeds disgust. Are we so illicit to the uncontrollable dumbing down of America that rich people continue to get richer while starving kids are dying in the streets? Food banks shelves run empty. Domestic violence shelters are over crowed. The school system is laying off teachers and educators. But no, lets celebrate the rich getting richer.

Don't give me that bullSSSS about the rich start companies, which creates jobs, which effects our economy. If that's the case why are we still looking at an 7% unemployment rate?

My heart breaks for this once great country. A country where we celebrate riches, TV shows featuring pregnant teens, out of control college students, music that promotes violence, rape, anger, and killing. Yet we avert our eyes from our ailing seniors, broken healthcare system, abusive insurance companies, and homeless hard working families.

This was once a great country. A country where our elected government officials are more concerned about winning for their party than being less popular by doing what's right for the greater of the people.

This was once a great country.
