As a loyal progressive I was very pleased with the Presidents State of the Union speech on Tuesday. I agree that we must move forward in the country,if we want to keep being the leader of the free world.The political atmosphere needs to change and move away from big business interests to those of the people. We pay the taxes and we should have a bigger voice in the way this country wants to go.PACs and the lobbyists seem to have their say with congress and we the people have no other voice than our Representatives and they seem to feel that big business is more important than us. The rich get a better tax deal than we do,businesses get a break and we're stuck with the bills.

 Why can't the rich and big businesses help the country at this time of crisis and ether pay a little more to help ease the deceit and later what things we can help with them in the things that want or need. If this were some other place in the world the government of that country could and most likely would nationalize all business that were turning a profit,likely for big business America is not that type of country. Now that we're in a money jam all they can think of profits and whats in it for us.I think you would call that greed, greed and more greed. The rich should help the country. Old sayings like"you can't take it with you" do have a place in this augument.
