the true power of america

i was watching morning news today, about how it seems like we are helpless against the natural factors of inflation, increase cost of living, gas prices... it's amazing how no one knows what really drives america. you do, we all do. the average non-important, non-high profile, wealthy american. it's our money that keeps businesses running and our unfair taxes taken from us.

we have the power to bring american corporations to their knees.

why don't we stand up for better products and demand fair costs for the goods "they" claim we need? because we don't know we are in power, all we know is "we need to do what they say" "we need to pay what they say we need to pay." it's particularly sad that the older generation, our parents feel and believe this. most of the wasted money on goods are paid out by them. we the younger generation have a little more sense about how things really work and what is really worth our money.

remember that email chain - "for one day lets not buy gas to send a message to the big, greedy, thieves of the oil industry" it was a good idea but no one followed through. imagine what would happen if we did. now imagine if we did that for cable, Internet, clothes, entertainment, bills, taxes, computers, cars, household appliances, ipods, cell phones, accessories, and all the little things we believe we need on a daily basis.

the truth is we are too selfish and ignorant to let go of the things we have and want for the better good of all, and for a better future for all. that is why they will always win over the people and we will always have to give away our money needlessly.
