Solutions needed

In a world where most of the population is struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table more economic upheaval is upon us. The idea that a football player, because they can get hurt to the point of not being able to work gets paid sooo much money that they can care for at least 5 families is absurd. Construction workers put their lives at risk, so do police officers, why are they not given excessive salaries as well? This divide is what is said to make this country great; but it's exactly what makes this country fall into recessions and depressions of the economy.

Greedy people continue to rule the country and they have no morality as to how they fund their lavish lifestyles. Donating to a cause where they don't really need the funding is a mockery, perhaps donating funding to non-profit organizations that are within the communities that require assistance should be a better way to spend your tax write off. The level of hypocrisy is baffling to me and the way the world has come to accept and go along with these inconsistencies is beyond my thought.

A system where one day everyone is approved for a house, then those same struggling home owners are forced out of their homes because they were approved under false pretenses. The bank knew they were not able to make those increasing payments. If they were given a rate today, they should have been given a fixed rate so that they were likely to keep their homes, but instead interest increased annually or after 5 years and now we have a foreclosure rate as high as our unemployment rate.

When will the government realize that instead of bailing out the rich, they should be assisting the everyday person, who feeds the economy. The "middle class" is who buys a new car in this country not special ordered in Italy, the "middle class" goes out and buys clothes from the department stores that provide jobs locally. I hope that eyes are opened and minds open to provide this country a real chance to prosper and live up to our hype.
