In fact, an important advisor to the previous Republican administration made the following statement:
Remember derivatives -- the wealthiest people in the world have more worth tied up in derivatives than there is worth in the world. People like this need to be at least regulated, if not, indeed, controlled.
An American government who cares about all of its people, not just the wealthy, will regulate those who, for some reason, believe they have an unfettered right to all of the wealth in the world.
Read the polls. Look at the results of the last election.
Americans want America to ensure that their children receive a good education.
Americans want America to ensure that all Americans have access to needed health care.
Americans want America to keep its citizens safe.
Americans don't want America to spread what it thinks would be an appropriate form of governance to other nations by bombing those nations into submission.
Under President Obama, there is, once again, a democratically elected American government which is trying to bring back the conditions that created the great American middle class. Finally, you scare me because ifyou serve a second term I willprobably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8years. President Obama did not produce The Patriot Act, a shameful piece of legislation, approved by members of Congress with both Rs and Ds after their names. Those who voted for this intrusive, invasive and illegal "law" should have been removed from office and not been allowed to hold any public office in The United States. That's the kind of legislation that should make the letter writer "scared" and not feel safe to write what he thinks. However, this letter writer didn't write this letter out of a concern for America and Americans. I submit that the letter writer is probably repulsed by more than half of the American people. I say this because more than half of the American people are not Caucasian. This letter, like yesterday's "march on Washington, was created out of hatred and racial intolerance. Remember "America, love it or leave it?" It's what I was told so many times when I thought that the government of this country was engaged in wars it should not have been fighting. I was told that to disagree with "your president" or "your government" was unpatriotic. I will not use the same line for those who believe that this letter contains anything substantive and should be sent out to everyone so everyone can see what President Barack Obama is "really all about." I will not say to them, "America, love it or leave it."
