Whether you’re a right winger, a left-winger, a progressive, regressive, or even *gasp* an independent/centrist/middle-of-the-roader–heck, enven if you’re a fence-sitter–I bet, like me, you’re mad as hell at the state of our union.
1 ) Not enough good paying jobs of any sort to go around for people who want to work.
2 ) Too many illegal aliens, a lot of them bad apples, entering this country.
3 ) Too many illegal aliens willing to work for low wages in this country making it a boon to employers who want cheap labor.
4 ) Too many employers getting away with hiring illegal aliens, abusing them, and paying them wages a dog couldn’t eat on.
5 ) Too many Wall Streeters making money by trading off American livelihoods.
6 ) Too many media moguls slanting everything to benefit their bottom line instead of doing their jobs of reporting unslanted news.
7 ) Too many stupid laws that concern things best left up to the individual.
8 ) Too many good laws being ignored and violated because it pays somebody’s bottom line.
9 ) Criminals walking around free with open access to guns and explosives while law-abiding citizens are denied the right to carry weapons.
10 ) Too much focus by elected officials on getting re-elected instead of doing their jobs.
