The Kanya incident!

This blog post is not directed.  Let’s see, what am I currently questioning. There is so much going on these days in terms of political and social agenda.  Let us focus on an aspect of these topics.  Why is it that congress won’t pass a bill that places a heavier tax burden on a higher tax bracket while lifting a heavy tax burden from the middle class?  Maybe it is because they would be taxing themselves.  Why is it that holding a public office was once thought of as a privilege and now the same office earns a burdens wage?  I’m not sure how someone would go about answering these questions when a powerful percentage of the population of the U.S.A. seem intent on squashing said questions but I see an agenda.  It seems like the rich are blinded by their money (not always but majority rules).  There seems to be a loss of humanity.  It’s as if money blinds one from seeing poverty as a problem.  For example, Kanya West wore a gold medallion to an occupy protest rally. These people are struggling to pay their way through life.  Most of them have done what the majority told them they should do and gone to college.  I give mister West credit for taking an interest in what is going on in the world outside of his own back yard I will even go so far as to say that  the media should have cut him a break.  Honestly though if you are going to show your support for a cause it is better to approach it the way Bill Gates did and make a public statement acknowledging your willingness to pay your fair share. I have enough faith in humanity to say that I believe Mister West had good intentions but he came off looking like an ill educated publicity hound.
