The American Dream

Here in the Rust Belt, the train left the station a long time ago.

I’ve witnessed companies being sold, downsized and relocated. I’ve seen people suffering, foreclosed on their home; families being torn apart and incomes obliterated all because they bought into a dream. The American Dream.

 I’ve read about CEO’s slowly bleeding companies dry, retiring and managing to receive a golden parachute deal and a hero’s pat on their back from board members who profited from decades of side deals.

The Government bailouts and buyouts were all designed to make someone else wealthier, a reward for playing the end game. You weren’t considered nor included. No trickle-down theory at work here; more a slow motion tsunami wave.

When the Great train called The American Dream pulled away from the station, the cars weren’t full of people; the rows of seats were filled with common sense, hope and dignity.

The American worker is nothing more than a pawn. We were merely tools. The scheme we bought into is nearing its run. It’s time to take back our pride.
