Thread: Very Appropriate?

There was another term that went hand in hand with "the establishment". If you remember the silent majority who were the main body of the electorate. They had little representation politically speaking as they were not classified in any special interest group nor did they have lobbiest to influence the policy makers. I still believe that this is the largest group of Americans that continue to work hard at their jobs(if they still have them) and are deeply concerned with the widening gap of the ultra wealthy-politically connected class and the division they continue to make on the electorate.

One side makes token gestures that promise individual rights, smaller government and tax holidays and the other uses class warefare to opiate the voters. The cost of this division has been to procrastinate fixing existing social programs that has put us in a very deep hole. The silent majority that still votes wants to do what is right for themselves and their country but has little hope that real reform will ever happen as long as we are divided.

Unfortunately, misery loves company and out of frustration, people lash out on the groups that do not represent their own status and while these voices are amplified and the silent majority who wish everyone to do well go quietly about their lives.
