Trump vs. Clinton
Death for the U.S.A.

Hello, everyone. I would like to talk about the presidential election, if you don't mind.

Let me start by saying I love the people of this country, but all aspects of our government has been betraying us for over 30 years, and we the citizens have the courage to put a stop to it. I'm not calling for violence, I'm calling for will power.

Let me explain. In the 1980s the USA had one of the top 5 public educational systems in the world. What is it ranked now? Look it up; it's available on the net. When you see how far it has dropped, you will be shocked and offended. Now ask yourself how this happened. It's simple: because we let it.

When your city and state governments told you they needed to raise your taxes, a few pennies on the dollar to keep the schools up, we had a fit. When we realized the lobbyists not only had access to the government officials who make our laws but are chased by them, we didn't think it was a big deal. Now most, if not all, of our lawmakers are in the pockets of the mega companies the lobbyists work for. The middle class used to called the backbone of our great country; now most American families live from paycheck to paycheck. There are people starving on the streets while tons of food rots on the docks and in the warehouses. My God, what have we done to ourselves? The poor are paying an insane amount of the taxes our government collects every year, while the rich pay a tiny fraction. How can this make sense to anyone?

Look, we are not stupid, just lazy. People used to work hard to make sure their kids could have a better life than them; now they just do it to try to keep them alive with a little something to eat. Now you are getting ready to vote, but it's not for who you think will run the country the best. It's for who you think won't be as bad as the other one.

So our country is broken, but what can we do? Let us start by making a statement. Let us tell them this won't do and enough is enough. Go to the polls and write on your ballot: none of the above. Vote for no one. for no office. These people are not interested in truly working for us, so why should we hire them? The people who could really help us won't run because our elections are a circus, like wresting on TV, but with worse actors. He said-she said mudslinging contest, low rate soap operas.

Wake up, people, before it's too late. Our country is on life support, and they want to pull the plug. Let us not settle for Bonnie and Clyde, but instead let us insist on the best. There is another Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Reagan out there waiting for us to shout, "Enough of these silly games. Let's get this thing back on track!" Let us stand up and do something to make our forefathers proud. More importantly, let us do something to see that our children have a better life than we have.

It won't be easy; we will have to show courage and work hard; and we will have to keep a close eye on those we put in power. But won't it be worth it so that our kids can stand up for the national anthem and show respect for our flag because they have enough of an education to know what they mean? We can do this together. "United we stand but divided we fall." God bless you, and keep you all the days of your life.

Peace and Love :)
