Is Obama Gonna Save Us

Truly can anything save our economy now? With all his big proposals just what can President Obama really do for us? A multi-billion dollar stimulus package and the average American gets $4oo. Wow, generosity! Are you kidding me, I make just a little under that on unemployment in a week. I think that is a slap in the face to all of us as real hard working down to earth Americans. Who does Congress and our President think they are fooling? Lets face it, this stimulus package was formatted to keep the rich people rich and the poor people poor. I personally lost a good paying job from a large corporation who cared absolutely nothing about its employees or the impact closing the factory would have on the economy of a small community. I bet the owner of that corporation is not sitting at home looking on the Internet for ways to make extra money to take care of his family. He took care of that problem by taking advantage of hard working people. If Congress really wants to help America lets put tighter restrictions on these large corporations. If a company has to close lets see to it that the owners do not fly away in a helicopter and retreat to a mansion hidden on a private island some where. Make him sell his assets, split the money to his employees and let him see what its like to really struggle. I under stand hard work and struggling to pay bills and feed my family like many other people out there. We work for an employer some times for many years thinking our job is secure and that if something were to happen that our plant was closing our employer would remember our years of service and sacrifices made and take care of us. Well I have had it happen twice in a ten year period and the only people they take care of is the ones who were already rich. I appreciate Mr. Obama's concern to create jobs and get Americans back to work, but why do the wealthy people get even wealthier in the process? I would like to see the owner of a big corporation put aside all his money and live on $12 per hour for a period of 2 or 3 years ,raise three kids, pay a mortgage, a car payment, and utilities. Now that's an American dream. President Obama needs to focus more on the small guy and let the rich people figure it out themselves. I say the biggest problems in our country revolve around the greed of the upper class society. Greed will be our down fall and we can thank the ones we all work so hard every day to make richer.
