The test of progress........

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
— Franklin D. Roosevelt

Wages have become stagnant for most Americans, the cost of living, health-care, groceries, gas all of these have gone up at astronomical rates but the income of most blue collar workers is stationary. Now that millions of jobs have been lost then millions of workers will have to start out all over again in climbing the workforce ladder, it is expected to take an entire generation for average Americans to get back the financial status we had prior to the present melt down. While this is happening we are seeing the rich become not just wealthier but we have seen liquidity than any other time in our country....are we truely progressing in our society? I think not....until the average American takes back control of our goverment, our economy and accepts responsability to rebuild this country to its once great status we will again be sliding down the hill instead of up the hill.....
