Surviving in America!

So I watched the movie Sicko by Michael Moore last night, and it made me wonder, " Can America really survive going down our current path?"

I started thinking about the war, and I wonder how we ever came to be in this mess, is it really all because of the oil? Is it because we just like to fight? Is it because our government wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing they don't have power over the people?

Everyone in the world knows oil will only last another 50 years or so, and what happens if we don't get off of our dependency? Food will not be delievered, medical supplys will not be delievered, we will not be able to drive to work, to pay for our homes and our food!

After learning about other countries medical, it makes me wonder why after over 200 years, we have not found peace, and we have not figured out how to give medical to everyone, and we have not been able to help Americans keep their homes, or rebuild them when they are destroyed by mother nature.

The only way this medical for everyone would work, is by having a higher tax on expensive merchandise so that rich people that can afford expensive items, could also afford the expensive tax on these items, and that money would therefore go towards the government paying for everyones medical. This system will never work taxing INCOMES! They also give doctors incentives to get people to quit smoking, and overweight people to keep it under control, this eleviates millions of people returning to the doctors.

In America if you don't have heath insurance you are screwed, and if you do have it, you are still screwed. Unless you keep your well paying American big coorporate job, with good insurance, and even then sometimes that is still not good enough.

WE LIVE IN COORPRATE AMERICA, and most Americans live in what I call la di da America. WE have been raised to believe that the government will always take care of us, well how can we trust a government that will only take care of us by taxing our income?!?!?

All government funded programs are paid for by our INCOME tax! If we continue to want and need the government to protect us and take care of us, it will never work as long as they tax our INCOME!

WE as Americans have also been taught to hate CUBA, when in all reality 3 volunteers from 9/11 that have not been able to get health coverage here, have gone there and recieved FREE heathcare! Where one inhaler cost $120.00 here, in CUBA it was 5 cents!!!!!

How is this posible??? Because we live in Coorporate America where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. WE continue to fund unconstitutional wars, instead of finding peace with other countries. WE have things like the Global Poverty Act, that obligate us to pay 845 billion dollars to the UN for Global Poverty, by taxing fossil fuels. WE continue to fund the fuel cell and ethonal which will never be better then bio diesel. It takes more fossil fuels to create ethanol then would ever benefit us. * corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

Because of this, we have this price of corn that has gone up, and farmers are killing their cows early, or selling them, cause they can't afford to feed them. Wonder why meat hasn't gone up?!?! Well it will when there are no more cows left cause farmers couldn't afford to keep them alive!

Americans spend and spend and spend. The average American household with at least one credit card has nearly $9200 in credit card debt, according to CardWeb.com....that is only credit card debt, not counting car, house, student loans, the insurance you have to pay on your car and for medical...Ontop of this the government takes 10,000 dollars away from my income every year only to give me 700 back?!?!?! WTF!!!

We went very wrong somewhere along the lines....what are we supposed to do about all of this. Being an average medium income american, what am I supposed to do? Do I get involved in politics, and vote against the government spending money we don't have? Do I protest the war? Do I stop paying income tax? Do I start growing my own food? Do I start making my own biodiesel fuel? Do I move to a different country entirely? What can we everyday American's do to stop where our country is headed?!?!?

We have trillions of dollars in debt in this country. How are generations to come supposed to pay for this?
How do we survive?
How does America Survive?
