Out with the old…in with the new
I was a firm believer in using experience to train others for the future but recent years with the financial issues and all of the corruption in our government going on, I no longer believe that to be true. As frustrating as the bailouts and other unnecessary uses of tax payer funds may be, Americans are missing the underlying issues of replacing greedy, corrupt people with more greedy and corrupt people. For example, as Governor Palin steps down as Governor of Alaska, she will be replaced with the Lieutenant Governor of the state. To most this makes sense, that is to people that don’t pay attention to 30+ lawsuits brought against Mrs. Palin for corruption. Does it make sense to replace someone who was just found, by a independent investigator, to be corrupt with the person that reported directly to that person? Only if you want more of the same, I for one don’t.
To be honest, I am sick of our society putting people in charge of businesses and our Government to replace the very people they have learned how to be ”successful” from the most corrupt, greedy, and discriminatory people. I am not so much frustrated with the fact that these people are this way, no matter what anyone says MONEY and POWER will rule the United States, it doesn’t matter who leads the country.
I know there are ways to fix these issues, but who would want to listen to people like me that want a BETTER country for our children? No one, not one single politician or business leader. Who would want to replace corruption with someone that has not been in that position and believes in honesty, integrity and accountability? Take a look around, every product you buy, every television show you watch, every news article you read, every person that cuts in front of you in traffic or in line, and every young child that screams and begs a parent to give them what they want and the parent gives in to them because they don’t have the time or they don’t care enough to show their child they right way, this is what has become normal.
So once again, who am I to judge? I am only a person that believes in accountability, understanding, integrity, and honesty, the very type of person that big business does NOT want around as things may have to change and people may have be accountable.
