Everyone has a lot to say and everyone is hurting, but no solutions. According to the talking heads unemployment is on the decrease and there are more jobs. President speaks in generalities. I heard him say Government needs to still do more for the people. Talk is cheap. We've been forgotten people trying to feed our families and pay our rent. Interview after interview dealing with rude people who lead you on and then drop you. They have tactics now that lead you no where. These low income jobs have nothing to offer someone who has a good work history. They look at your last salary and you don't have a chance on these dirt jobs. God what have we come to in our great Nation.

The roots of the problem go back several decades, and the book addresses that (with solutions based on a deep understanding of the problem). There are several solutions presented in the book, but the main one it directly provides is in the realm of emotion. It's a story that provides people with emotional catharsis, perspective, and comic relief.

Next week I lose my car and will be evicted from my home. After a year of scrambling to find work and after losing everything in this recession...I will be on the streets. I will never take a bed in a shelter because of the countless children and families that need them. So, after 20yrs of being a business owner and tax paying patriotic American, this is what has become of me because of greed, hubris and financial criminality. Thanks U.S.S.Corporate America. Now because of you my life expectancy just dropped by 25yrs. Now I'm scared out of my mind.
I even started my website to spotlight the plight of jobless Americans months ago hoping beyond hope that it might somehow save my life in the process of helping others, but there have been no donations or opportunities in the effort. Now I will lose the site, too.

I have no family as I am the last. I belong to no religion after being excommunicated from the Catholic church for divorce. I belong to no social groups and am literally alone. On a weird note, as the last remaining male member of my family...the family name actually will die with me. So not only has my country betrayed me personally...it has ended my family tree.

This might be the only effective way to get these ideas to the Tea Party crowd and others who are blissfully ignorant of the true nature of the problems facing this country. Please publish!!!!
