In America we have a disease that is spreading like wildfire. It is sucking the very life out of the nation that we love. It is not a disease that puts us in bed or the hospital. It is a disease of millionaires and the billionaires of this great nation. It is their sickness, but it is affecting the middle class and the poor like it has never done before.
What is this disease you ask? It is GREED!! The millionaires and the billionaires of this country want to make money hand over fist, but they don't want to share it with the people that are making it for them. One of the worst sayings I have ever heard is when I hear that someone is a self made millionaire or billionaire. That is a false statement and it is not a fact. Someone gets to be a millionaire or billionaire because of the hard working employees that they have.
These millionaires and billionaires don't want to share any of that wealth with their employees. Many CEOs and top executives are taking home millions of dollars a year while their employees are struggling. It is a disease that in their minds that they are more valuable then those employees making the money for them. Millionaires and billionaires would rather hide their money in Swiss bank accounts than to share it with employees.
No one needs as much money and needs to live the life style that they are obsessed with. Who needs five or six homes, many expensive cars, the ability to travel the world any time they want. No one does! It is a shame that we have so much homeless in America and one in five children don't know where their next meal is coming from. Massive wealth is a sickness, that I never want to get.
Greed is a terrible thing. If a fraction of this wealth was shared with hard working Americans, they would be able to spend more, increase the economy, drop unemployment, and end hunger. I hate what the super rich is doing to a great nation. When a CEO makes five or six hundred times what the average worker makes, it is a disease that will make a nation fail. America deserves better, much better.
Raise the minimum wage, stop the corporate lobbying in Washington, close the loopholes for the wealthy, vote for people who care for everyone, not just the super rich. Get the corporate money out of politics. VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR ALL OF AMERICA, NOT THE ONES WHO ONLY SUPPORT CORPORATE AMERICA.
