My 5-Second State of the Union Address Sign (1/27/10)

I don’t like the way the world is. I don’t like the way our country is. And I didn’t in late January of 2010 either.

Even though I voted for President Obama, I thought he could have saved us all time during his first State of the Union address by just reading the sign:

And I don’t blame the president for the way things are – they were already messed up when he took office. I think George Carlin says it best here:

I know capitalists and anti-socialists will say that wealthy people are entitled to all their assets and have no obligation to share with anyone. Even though it was recently in the Washington Post, it’s not really news that the gap between the rich and poor is bigger than it ever has been. And until the top .1 percent (or even top 1 percent) want to change the system or there is another revolution, I don’t see things changing any time soon.
