Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

I am trying to remind myself that the times we are in are in flux - as change is the only "permanent" thing there is.

I am sure this is not the only time in US history in which there was such divisiveness, but it seems like the people elected to serve us have simply forgotten who their constituents truly are, IMHO.

Corporations are people? No, they are not. Not even close. Corporations are an important part of our economy and have value, but to place that value equal to that of an actual human being is ridiculous.

I just want things to be more fair. Even one of the most wealthy people on Earth, Warren Buffet, wants things to be more fair. Not socialist - FAIR. The distribution of wealth in the US and the world is too off kilter. I don't believe in handouts, but is it asking too much for those with the most to pay taxes like everyone else? (Perhaps a flat tax rate for all?) I am not saying the rich should pay more than their fair share.

Just fair. Of course, I am sure my definition of "fair" may not be the same as others'. (Sigh.)
