Get out there and Vote!

The polls are only open a couple more hours in my time zone. If you haven't, please get out there and vote. It makes a difference and some people don't even have the opportunity to vote.

J and I were watching the show 30 days the other day. It was the one where he and his girlfriend has to live on minimum wage for 30 days. They knew it was going to be hard but they thought that they would be ok. They found jobs and realized that it wasn't as easy as they originally thought. The hard work caused them to be hurt and they had to go to the emergency room. They had no insurance and thus had huge bills. They didn't have any kids and acknowledged they didn't understand how people made it who had kids. This episode made me so mad because this is what I see. I see people who can't afford basic things like food and healthcare for their families and politicians think that if they give tax breaks to the wealthy that it will trickle down. i want to ask them if it's working. It hasn't worked yet. People talk about the socialization of the health care system. I don't think of it as socialization and these people would rather have people with no health care hurt and sick because they can't afford the doctor's office. I was so mad I wanted to scream. I want every elitist to watch that show and tell me what they think.

And with that. I'm going to leave you all on a high note. This is the last song on Girl Talk's album, Feed The Animals. Listen to it all the way through, you'll like it. Listen to his other stuff. His mash up albums are amazing. Just go to You Tube and search for Girl Talk.
