It's Time to start the Revolt in your State

I have seen a number of US Presidents come and go during my lifetime, some good and others lacking. Now for the first time I am worried about the future of our country and the deterioration of the fabric that our democracy was made from. The fire has gone out under the melting pot. Hate and self interest are now burning brightly. I understand the anger coming from all sides because for years now we have had two incestous political parties that bred upon themselves excluding the input of those they served.
In the past two decades labor's power has declined along with wages. The Supreme Court made corporations citizens while chipping away at individual rights. Our Presidents and Congress bailed out the big banks during the recent recession but allowed the banks to make record profits while they foreclosed on a multitude of home owners. Due to the loss of jobs during the recession and also because of the increase of outsourcing in the past couple of decades banks and corporations are now running the show.
It is no wonder the little average Joe is starting to get selfish and cutting corners because it has worked for the banks and corporations. Wells Fargo's executives recently got rich while practicing unethical banking practices and opening fraudulent accounts that customers were unaware of. Other banks have also been guilty of other violation. The have been fined but when the fine is equal to a few pennies to a thousand dollars, it's not much of an insentive to change practices.
The Trump administration chose to solve these problem by getting a group of advisors who mostly billionaires to solve the working man's problem. Their answer is to push through deregulation on the banks, Wall Street and big corporation. Trump's tax plan does little to change my taxes but is a great boon to big business. Don't get me wrong I do think Trumps looking into trade is good but that is only part of the solution for average Joe to succeed.
Social Security was fine until Congress started borrowing from it to pay for wars. And why are we giving more than 5 Billion in foreign aid to Israel their people have college and health care paid for while we squabble.
We need a revolution in both our political parties to get them back to serving the people and we need it to begin in every state. This way Congress and the rest will follow.
