Neither major party helping us

The Republicans are in total blockage mode: America be damned and President Obama must fail so we can come back. I wish I could say the Democrats are much better but the major problem is, they already have free health care. And they get contributions so they block what's right. Again, America be damned.
Every month thousands die without health care, diseases go undetected and insurance companies get richer. This is the end of the American dream. It died here. Our jobs were sent away, all benefits accrue to the powerful who received incentives to send them away.
We work hard, make decent money, don't smoke, drink or gamble and have no boat, no vacation home and no kids in college. It goes for food prices, energy prices, insurance prices and profits. We exist. We were sold to the highest bidder.
