Can We Live?
"With liberty and justice in all," Is it justice to take necessities and place outrageous prices on them? Americans need food, gas, health care, and other basic goods to live out their every day lives. It's completely ridiculous to see many Americans forced into unemployment and then expected to cope with America's expensive living environment. Washington's inflation rate is outrageously increasing which is leaving people with no choice but to leave their middle class lifestyles to begin lives of poverty. Something clearly needs to be done, how can we live? There is no liberty and justice when some Americans continue to get rich while the rest of us remain in the state of poverty. Instead of robbing the poor of their income and valuables they don't posses, Washington's government should concentrate on motivating the rich to distribute their wealth to those less fortunate.
