Our worries go from pay day to pay day, just like millions of others. And we have two fairly decent incomes, but I worry how I'm going to pay the rising ca insurance and food. I pray my kids don't have a growth spurt from August to December, so I dont have to buy new jeans. We buy clothes at the budget stores and we have them fray and fade and stretch in the first wash. We ponder and try to figure out how were gonna pay for college and braces and tennis shoes. We dont take vacations and we don't go out to eat. Please dont think me ungrateful. We have jobs and a nice place to live, and were healthy. We're the people you see every day in the grocery stores, and obey the laws and pay our taxes. We fly our flags on holid ays and we plod along trying to make it better for ourselves and our children and our parents. We arent vocal any more. I think maybe were too tired I believe that people like us are forgotten in America Well, of course you believe you're forgotten, because you have been This Republican Administration treats us as if we were pieces of a puzzle that cant fit together They,'ve tried to put us into compartments and separate us from each other. Their political theory is"divide and conquer. They,'ve suggested time and time again that what is of interest to one group of Americans is not of interest to any one else. Weve been isolated. We've been lumped into that sad phraseology called"special interests. They've told farmers that they were selfish, that they would drive up food prices if they asked the govemment to intervene on behalf of the family fam, and we watched farms go on the auction block while we bought food from foreign countries. Well, that s wrong! They told working mothers it,'s all their fault their families are falling apart because they had to go to work to keep their kids in jeans and tennis shoes and college. And theyre wrong! They told American labor they were trying to ruin free enterprise by asking for 60 days notice of plant closings, and that s wrong. And they told the auto industry and the steel industry and the timber industry and the oil industry, companies being threatened by foreign products flooding this country, that you're protectionist if you think the govemment should enforce our trade laws. And that is wrong When they belittle us for demanding clean air and clean water for trying to save the oceans and the ozone layer, that s wrong No wonder we feel isolated and confused. We want answers and their answer is that something is wrong with you. Well nothings wrong with you. Nothing s wrong with you that you cant fix in November le've been told we've been told that the interests of the south and the southwest are not the same interests as the North and the Northeast. They pit one group against the other. They,'ve divided this country, and in our isolation we think govemment isnt gonna help“Our worries go from pay day to pay day, just like millions of others.
