What's Next?

It appears that the lower middle-class and the poorer works and disabled citizens of this country had better keep at least an eye's look out over their shoulders or it may well be impossible for them to survive in an America focused on serving the 1% of its citizens makining the most money ( $500,000 or more per year).

On National level our Congress has, this session made it far easier for the rich to stay richer by eliminating the so called Death Tax or Inheritance Tax and by massively overhalling the Bankruptcy Laws, which I am proud to say my grandfather wrote (James Angell MacLachlan). It was his intention to help those, who because of economic reasons, could no longer pay their bills and faced jail if the creditors could not be satisfied. The Bush Administration is overhauling the Medicaid and Social Security Programs, on a massive scale, something he said, time and again during his campaign that he would never allow.

On a Statewide level we are faced with a Governor who, I beliveve, just said whatever he thought would get him elected during the campaign and now that he's in office he is showing his true colors and literally ripping the guts out of the laws that were put in place to insure equal treatment under the law for those who may not be able to speak for themselves, or are so disillusioned by a world that seemingly embraces those with money to spend but spits on those cannot pay their rent or put clothes on their backs because of disability or out of a need to see their children better off than themselves. I know of too many who have gone without food or clothing to put food in their children's mouthes and clothes on their backs. The latest insult to Missourians came when Governor Blunt intoduced his sweeping Insurance reform plan. If I were not so proud to be an American disabled individual as I am today, I might just up and leave. This country is worth better than what they have as leadership now.
