Down in the dumps

I cannot believe it took me so long to find AZteaparty website! I have been asking on Twitter for weeks if any Arizonans know of an AZ site organizing protests but finally found this on my own.
Unfortunately, I am unale to help financially. My husband is a "1099" and has not had work since October! My business is down about 50% and we are struggling like never in my lifetime! I am 67 years old, almost all my savings are GONE, not down, GONE!
Just seeing the comments on this site give me hope that there are those that will fight this administration.
The thing I feel most hopeless about is the media. they control the thinking of the masses. The AZ Repugnant's editorial page makes me angry and very sad. The letters to the editor show the ignorance of the readers. The headlines make me throw the paper in disgust. My educated, bright children believe movies about politics are real and that CNN is news.Sorry to sound so depressed, but this website shows me that there are fighters out there.
Yesterday I was getting my nails done and my sweet little Vietnamese technician commented "how wonderful the "cash for Clunkers" program is". I sadly looked at her and asked her if she thought it was ok to take her hard-earned money and give it to someone else so that they could buy a car. She looked at me in surprise, she did not think that was ok and had not realized that her tax dollars are paying for it.
I then asked her how much she pays in taxes and she naively told me that her boss pays the taxes! How do we educate the masses when they do not even believe they are paying taxes and do not know how much?
I then explained the rationale of the program to her and she thought it was a good idea anyway because it took gas guzzlers off the road. The media should be educating her! How the hell do they sleep at night! They are so liberal or must we now say "progressive" so that people will understand the new terminology.
Oh well, thank God there are those out there that do "get it". May God Bless America once more!
