Class warfare politics is America's shame. The majority of Americans want the opportunity to succeed at something, to become rich and famous, even. We don't want free; we want affordable. We want to be in control of our own destinies. We want jobs, world-class education, and healthcare that doesn't have to look over its shoulder for ambulance chasers.

The days of this country's government working for the people died many decades ago -- as the political puppetry in Washington that is owned by Wall Street, numerous other large monopolistic corporations from various industries and lobbies, the Israeli lobby in particular, has repeatedly proven -- and the concept of meaningful reform in modern day Washington has in essence become virtually impossible.

It sadly appears to me that the Public Option has been temporarily pushed off the governments health care agenda. All that is left of President Barack Obama's health care reform Bill, at the moment, is an attempt to impose rules and regulations on wealthy multi-million doller health insurance companies who just happen to have powerful Senator friends within the United States government.
