Clueless?

In following the articles on the Presidential campaign it appears that the mainstream media spends too much time listening to each other and not enough listening to Joe the plumber, Joe six-pack and the hockey moms. Joe the plumber isn't depressed because he owes taxes. He gets up every morning and goes to work with the thought in the back of his head that his boss was once like him and he can eventually be like his boss. That's what gets him out of bed and off to work on days he doesn't want to. It's called Ambition. It doesn't have to be well founded. It just has to exist. Joe the Plumber's fear isn't that he will never own his own company. It's that it will not be worthwhile to own his own company. That there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Socialism is the death knell of ambition. The bible repeats it over and over: Without a vision, my people perish. It is time for the media to realize that Socialism doesn't work. It might be fair to those without ambition, but it's not fair to those with ambition. Can you say USSR?
