Frustrated

You don't care if my family has to work on Sunday, work the night shift, toil 60 hours per week, or perform two jobs without any health care. You call it Obamacare and leave it at that.

You tell me that the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world and that I should be grateful.

You don'tcare whether I take walks through the park with my children, if there is a playground where they can explore, if there is a clean, rapid bus coming near my house so my kids can get on it an and visit another area where they can see beautiful shop windows, sit in cafes, and meet friends.

Instead, you tell me that the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world, because I have cable TV 24 hours a day, because there is an Applebee's on an industrial highway, and because there is a mall movieplex showing 16 films at the exit of the interstate.

You don't worry if my family drinks 64oz.cokes, eats KFC a few times a week, watches reality TV every night, surfs the internet simultaneously, and goes into massive debt to pay for the clothes, cars, insurance, and two year contracts in order to be connected to friends at all times.

You tell me that the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world, that you are working to protect my freedom to gut the school system, to hate Muslims, to check to see if the birth certificate is a forgery, to drill baby drill, and so my son can legally buy the assault weapons that George Washington wanted me to have in order to serve in the militia protected by the Constitution.

You just don't care about the quality of life in the United States, as long as you get your sick way.
