i posted this as a comment, but it is good for all:


i do understand capitalist theory, but i also understand sociology. people are pushed around by social structures, it is a fact. it is ok that some people need help. and that opening rant: i do not feel sorry for the burden of the rich guys, never will.

is the landslide not an indication that perhaps the people want something else? want to work together to rebuild the economy? was it a tragedy when jfk was elected, was the "new deal" a tragedy? roosevelt? historically, it is liberal politics that have brought our economy back to what it can be.

and no, there is no "healthy competition" that will make things right when the top 5% own virtually everything. and they are not thinking about what is best for the people, they think about what is most profitable to them to support their power and control. decisions are not made on what is right vs wrong, it is always about the money. if less people are in control, we can demand better business.

we really need to work together to make it happen. obama is asking us to work, not to free-load.

i know no one can understand me because i recieve help from the government but i'm an intelligent person. in moments i can be articulate. sometimes i can write a good essay or a song.

but it just so happens that i did not choose the chemicals that made the majority of the first 24 years of my life a grueling battle to not only think straight, but to try and stay alive. and i have come to understand that it is mostly no one's fault--that it is largely chemical. and if someone feels that way, that it is , should they get help or should we leave them alone to die? you helped me but you don't still have me there in your house using your resources because i am able to get support outside my family. my family has enough problems outside of mine. i need therapy, i need medication, i need a stable home and food, and without these things i cannot heal and do great things that will help the economy.

i am doing my best to find my way to doing just that. i want to help people, not be a tax burden. but it is all in time, we can be patient and it will come.

it is hard to find where you fit in an economy that tends to reject you for who you are (different, candid, sometimes psychotic).

i hope this is helpful. i really believe good things are to come, but not with political immaturity where we are fighting each other instead of working together.
