I don't want to crash our economy or promote unnecessary pain. I want to feel empowered.
I am that person in need, I just don't want to be victimized.
I want to choose who to support with my very very limited resources and I believe I can do that and further, that WE can do that collectively not to cause pain, but to avoid the despair that's knocking on most doors today.
I was born to American parents in Heidelberg Germany and came to live here 7-4-76. I fee honored to be an American.
What made America great is the absolute sacrifices that were made to stop Hitler etc in WWII.
What are we willing to sacrifice today? It feels like people are still in denial about how truly bad this is going to get, and very soon at that.
