The Invisible Line

There seems to be an invisible line, that when crossed, people succumb to greed and power. Their words become lies as they’re willing to say and do anything to get them more votes, more power and more control over others while they become personally richer.

Initially, they may be the nicest people, but something happens to them when they cross that line of authority. (That line may be different for each person, but it’s there and it happens.) It’s something most people succumb to when they get into a position of authority.

How to describe those who cross the line into the elite cloud, where they’re above “regular” people, the everyday U.S. citizen taxpayer. Those who come into any kind of leadership role seem to totally lose touch with the middle class, the ones who are PAYING for most everything with their taxes.

(Do I have it right? It certainly feels that way to me.)

And I don’t think they really care about the poor, either. They create programs to make it sound like they’re helping, but all they’re doing is stealing from the taxpayers to make it sound like they’re helping the poor … They do some do-gooder work to be able to brag they’re doing something, but the bottom line is, they’re only stuffing their own coffers and making millions of dollars.

In wars, there are always people, businesses and industry making huge profits off the sufferings of the middle and lower classes along with the soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the midst of the actual battles. While those of the higher class and elite scramble for more wealth, power, prestige, and personal accolades.

I recently read that King Charles’ coronation cost the British $91 million. It again reminds me of super-rich celebrities and professional sports players. A while back, I stopped watching sports and will never attend another concert. I refuse to support these people making millions of dollars off the public. I’ve often wondered how many people can’t pay their bills because they spend their paychecks on entertainment. They can’t support their families, yet they continue to support the wealthy.

I know, there’s some different sides to this, but I am on a mission against continuing to support the super-rich while I struggle to survive. I believe this is an issue needing to be addressed.

And what about the members of government who get to vote themselves raises every year when they already make more money than they could ever possibly need. Oh, wait, maybe they need to own a few more mansions, Ferraris, or go on more vacations.

These elite help make the laws for the every day people, but they themselves don’t have to live by the same rules. They have their own healthcare programs (much better than the rest of the people) and they create laws to protect their personal wealth. For them, wealth and power is never enough as they continue to strive for more.

It’s time “We the People” stand up and say, “Stop!”
