Lost tribe of Westwood

Idiots

There was a protest in Muskegon supposedly against Governor Snyder and the Republican party. I did not go. They had a tea party last summer, I did not go. I am a fence sitter. I am the scourge of America according to Rush. I don't care about America according to Rachael Maddow. These talking heads demand that I join their cause or I am lazy and unamerican. According to many, there cannot be a middle of the road. Let's put the word in review.

The rich want to tax the poor and the poor want to tax the rich. The retired want to tax the working class, and the working class wants to tax the retirees. The Republicans want pure Capitalism and the democrats want poor socialism. The Republicans want to keep out aliens and the liberals want to feed the world. The Republicans think that since they were elected, they now get to rule any way they like, and the Democrats want to reverse all the votes that didn't go their way. Everyone want to throw the baby out with the bath water except those of us sitting on the fence. Let me put the world into proper perspective.

There was a catastrophe like the world has never seen in Japan. Thousands of people have died, will die, and will be suffering for years.

There are uprisings in the middle east like the world has never seen. Thousands of people have died, will die and will be suffering for years.

According to the right wing, we can't help them. We don't have the money. We can't spend money that we don't have.

According to the left wing, we need to throw money at these problems with reckless abandon.

Now back in the states, we argue about capitalism, and unions while our children are under educated, people are starving and malnourished right here. We can't afford to give our own people reasonable health care and free education because we don't have the money.

Comon you idiots, come back to the fence. Come back to the middle. The view is much more simple and the people are less vocal. A straight tax on everyone, on all good and service, and everyone pay the same percentage, not amount. Everyone pay the same price for a bar of chocolates, or a 100 ft boat.. but that is too simple.
