What this country needs is someone to unite people. To somehow show people that your average democrat and your average republican and your average independent/libertarian/whatever…on most issues we are the same.
We want clean rivers. We want to hunt and fish. We want a good healthcare and educational system. We want to pay taxes, but want them to be more fair across the board and lower for those who are lower in income (for example, I doubt anyone who pays 30% of his income in federal taxes would complain if the Romney’s and Trump’s and Buffett’s had to pay 30% as well, instead of the 15% and lower they are paying). We want our prisons to have less people, but we want the people who deserve to be there to be there. We want to get help to the mentally ill and homeless.
We can find middle grounds in all of these. We need to quit with this silly “all right or nothing” or “all left of nothing” stances our politicians have taken.
There is middle ground to everything and when we reach that middle ground, we all do better.
I’m just not sure, even if we had someone to unite us, if we would even listen, because that person wouldn’t be endorsed by Beck or Hannity or Olberman or whoever is the mouthpiece for the left. It’s too bad.
