Our government is causing a lot of stress which can lead to drinking, drugs, violence and robberies. Families are forced to work two or three jobs and even overtime to make ends meet. Things are overpriced and it’s all for greed — make the rich man richer.

The only difference today versus history is you can’t see the whips hitting the backs of Americans. It breaks my heart that mothers and fathers don’t get the time to spend with their children.

Look around; nobody looks happy anymore, and most look worn out. Suicide rates are high. When I was growing up I had my mom home until I went to school, and my stepdad was able to stay home on weekends.

American officials, you’re failing your people. It’s time for changes. Americans need to hold the whip.
