The Elusive American Dream - - -

Dave,
 
Your cartoon is sadly appropriate for the bottom 98%.
 
Our country is so full of corruption from the President on down to Congress..... 
how do we, the people, even begin to fight back?  Letters to our senators is not an option, 
for there is either a form letter response or no response at all.   
We no longer have a President, but a dictatorship.....or perhaps even the maffia running 
(ruining) this country.  
Our country has become a disgrace, and for those of us who are not in the 2 percent, 
we are exhausted just trying to stay above water, and wondering if we are even going to 
be getting up to a job.  I am thankful my parents are not alive to witness what the thugs 
in Washington have done to our country.  And for what, GREED and POWER!   We have been robbed 
of our precious democracy and are owned by China, India, Japan, et al,, the corporations/lobbyists.  
The outlook seems hopeless and filled with much dispair, I'm sorry to say.  The only way there 
will be a change is to have the bottom 98% revolt and, unfortunately, Americans are characterized 
as "lazy and complacent".   The bottom 98% have been thrown into a bottomless pit....
how did this happen when we are the majority?
