I am sincerely happy for your good fortune and you are advantaged if despite a Democrat run country or a Republican run country has not changed your life in one way or another. You must be resolute in your political beliefs to have never changed your vote despite information provided on any forum including this one. And we can all agree that freedom of speech is great.

However, for many if you have good fortune it could slip away under the wrong stewardship. The country's debt problems began with FDR and heightened under the Johnson Administration and has become about crippled under Obama. The participation rate for jobs is at a low, median income has dropped, blacks and women are being affected at a higher rate.
The FED kowtowing to Obama is held captive to low interest rates which has affected retirees who have for several years had to forfeit interest on their savings. In fact in some banks people storing money have to pay for the privilege .

Obama policies and regulations have created such uncertainty that corporations find it more advantageous to initiate stock buybacks or engage in mergers many which are utilized as corporate inversions rather than invest and expand their business

Educational institutes have become the epitome of marxist inspired political speech wherein trigger warning and micro-aggression are the norm. where conservative students are threatened with failing grades for offering a conservative view. Where America's history is being revised to its detriment
Where male students are being denied their due process. where our founding fathers are being portrayed as hateful white racist. In fact the classics are not promoted at many universities because their authors are depicted as hateful white men . Everyday there is another story of a student who has been threatened for standing up for his/her conservative values.
Christians are also under assault in this nation. Yet the government has seen fit to establish winners and losers by providing protected classes , a system in which they continue to abuse.

The mainstream media has such a liberal bias they either refuse to report stories they dislike, manipulate the data, ignore pertinent facts or plain out lie. And the sad part is that some of those journalist believe that is what they are suppose to do. I mean only Black Lives Matter

Government regulations have strangled both corporate and personal lives. People have become so accustom to the encroachment on their lives they don't even notice. its like a lobster being boiled

Overall the moral imperative of this nation no longer exist. Its surprising we haven't yet reached bottom but we are getting closer because we are not resolved in dealing with the problems that face this nation.

Who would have ever believed that in this nation we would be having a serious discussion on whether we should continue to move toward a socialist nation and abandoned capitalism.

In Eastern Europe the communist were successful because of there salami tactic (ie taking away their freedoms one slice at a time).

I too am grateful for and thank God for many blessings. However unfortunately we have bad actors and their useful idiots that are bent on destroying traditional America, the traditional America that provide the opportunity for you and I to grow and thrive.

Personal Best Regards:
