With a foot on either side of the divide I write

        Look, I get it; President Elect Trump wants to allocate a trillion dollars to rebuild the infrastructure, a beautiful thing. American as a country and as an ideal is the most wonderful place in the world and deserves to shine brightly. This will put people back to work and it resembles the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt which brought us out of the Great Depression by putting Americans back to work, building the highway and bridges that connected this great country and placed such a demand on cars that more automobile manufacturers sprung up and drove down the price of vehicles so that it wasn’t only the bank president who could afford a Model T. By the 1950s we had Jack Kerouac on the road and James Dean symbolizing this innate feeling of liberty we Americans have and are entitled too by taking to the open road so that even today the American Dream is to retire and attach a fifth-wheel so we can travel across this great land of ours; and you know what? That sounds great, but not at the cost of hate.

          Yes, to create more jobs than there are workers forces companies to offer competitive wages and benefit packages to entice people to want to work for them; but at what cost? Percolating into a fine brew the discontent of the hard working individual who can’t afford to take their family on a vacation is not the result of corporate greed but because of people who don’t look like them and shouldn’t be here in the first place?

          We are already free and should support this administration’s desire to make America great again by bringing jobs back to this country, but we should also fight these racial undertones through the rights guaranteed by the Constitution by not allowing the civil liberties of any individual to be taken away or prohibited in the name of national security and the idea that if it wasn’t for this group of sinners God would bestow His blessings on us once again and you could have everything you have worked so hard for.

          Remember, the middle-class is already gone. There is just the working class and the rich and the luxuries they enjoy by the benefit of your labor and how the real issues they distract by keeping us off track by deflecting the blame onto anyone but the American people who are responsible for the actions of a government that is suppose to answer to the constituents they were instituted to serve.
