DESTINY
Hubie Jones
Somewhere along the journey, disaster took a liking to Americans obsessed with placing profits over people, creating government officials and corporations whose interests lay in getting paid to the maximum degree.
Looking out for the needs of poor and working class constituents are ideas lost in the halls of congress where representatives like Santos and Boebert are not a figment of our imagination, but more likely to fit the norm.
Fortune hunters line up and get behind an issue or a candidate which ever rings loudest and swear obsessively their support for righteous leadership, all the time knowing and praying for a big payoff when the winner takes a seat at the table.
Long gone is the era of honest day labor for honest day paycheck. What exist today are pennies on a dollar for the poor and millions for the sly. Paychecks keep falling way behind the cost of living and soon both parents are working second and third jobs to stay afloat.
As working class laborers spend their adults life toiling for peanuts, politicians pass laws increasing their pay and retirement income for a rewarding and rich future. Not to mention anything about the shady financial deals garnered to cast votes against bills that help low and middle income constituents achieve financial security.
Our elected officials then threatens to do away with social security as a finale to all the complaining from the working class who should be happy to hear their voices go unheard. The struggle continues and the destination is uncertain.
