The election’s over, and believe it or not, my heart goes out to you with what you are probably feeling right now, as I know you probably feel about Obama like I do about the Evil One Percent, and it is frightening and unsettling to think that the enemy won.  But for myself, I have to say that I feel greatly relieved, like a giant boulder has been lifted off my chest and that I can live with the certainty that I will have the pension I worked so hard to achieve at least for the next four years and I thank God that people won over $$$. You know, if those One Percenters had put their millions into making America better, had actually created jobs with living wages, instead of trying to buy our nation and turn it into China, I might have even voted as a Republican. 

As it stands, I have never been happier about seeing selfish control freaks lose large amounts of money,  Adelson, the casino magnate losing his bet, Trump and all the hatemongering rumors and lies he stirred up, the Koch Brothers and their “Right to Work“ anti-union agenda, and the awful propaganda movie they put out to inspire hate and fear and demonize our president--millions spent all for their own selfish goals!  Their losses won't affect their lifestyle and they will go on with all their luxurious homes scattered around both here and abroad, their car elevators, and their every whim being met, and they can go for generations never making another cent and be just as wealthy as ever.  However, what they wanted to impose on the common people was just plain evil.

Right now, at a time I should be jubilant, my feeling about winning is bittersweet, and I pray for the safety and protection of our president and his family, as well as those who supported him, as there is already a call for violence out there.  I pray that this time around congress will do as Chris Christie had to do and work with the leader of our nation to make it work for the people.  If that could happen, if those jobs bills, especially the ones Obama tried to get for veterans, were to pass this time around, if outsourced corporations were more heavily taxed or fined, and corporations that employed American workers and paid them a wage they could live on were given incentives or deserved tax breaks, if those suffering families who lost their incomes to greedy outsourcing actually could get jobs with living wages and those who have no working skills could get a little training, all those people would be putting back into the economy, but people need a hand up, not punishment, and telling them they are lazy slobs and to get a job when there are none only creates hate and resentment. I believe if our congress, both democrats and republicans could work together with the good of the people at heart instead of partisan goals, we could have our America back, the one we grew up with and still cherish in our hearts and believe our great nation should be.  I believe in Government, that we ARE the government, and it can't be "small government" as we are a huge population and we need to try to make life equitable for all. God Bless America, Everyone!!!
