The Lonely Taxpayer

Corporate bailouts, bank bailouts, even inusrance company bailouts, and all the while the lonely American taxpayer gets shafted by banks, big business, and yes, even insurance companies.  Banks want understanding and will tell you why its good for the country to keep them solvent.   But try to get some understanding from them.  They’ll put a family in the street and not miss a moment’s sleep.

And the big corporations feel its their right to be propped up by the taxpayer.   But let someone who really needs a job put in an application for employment with a bad credit score and they’ll kick them to the curb in a New York minute. 

Presently, I’m in a legal battle with an insurance company on my homeowner’s insurance and they refuse to even investigate my claim …. and my taxes are being used to keep a big insurance company in business…. and why was that?

My question for all our so called representatives in Washington is this:  When do the taxpayers get their bailout?   And for those who have lost their jobs, income, and credit, why can’t the government at least make employment and housing accessible without a credit check?   If a person has a bad credit rating and because of that cannot access housing or employment,  what are his alternatives?    Must they live like a bum on the street and beg?   Or should they turn to a life of crime?  The reality is that both of these things are happening.   Homelessness is skyrocketing.   Local law enforcement will tell you that they are arresting people who would never have considered theft or burglary during normal economic times.  

Big business gets tax money.   Foreign countries that don’t even like us get tax money.  The same banks that are confiscating our homes are getting tax money.  The big corporations who won’t hire us because of our damaged credit are getting our tax money.  One day the lonely tax payer will have enough of it and a revolt will ensue.  That day may be soon upon us unless government policy changes toward the lonely and forgotten United States taxpayer.
