Let me see … why can’t I afford to pay the co-pay for prescriptions, medical bills, food, etc.?

Well, we have the oil companies abusing us, the pharmaceutical companies abusing us, the insurance companies abusing us, big banks are abusing us — there is nothing left.

When does it end? When do people get a break?

Sooner or, hopefully, not later, things have to be balanced. Those companies have no limits, yet our salaries do. The people in this country are not keeping up. We have limits.

Why isn’t someone doing something about that?

Why are our elected officials concerned with the state cookie or drinking on Sundays?

Let’s get the real issues on the table.
