Blogging Melodrama

I decided that since I make all these things and people love them, I may as well get paid to make them.
So - I'm going to get a business license and advertise. Besides, that way I can sell some of my paintings while I'm out on the road on location. Who knows, I might even be able to pay for the art supplies and gas to get wherever I'm going.
Now days I'm not real sure it's possible since all the politicians have their network so tightly entrenched in our laws and have such a strangle hold on enterprise.
But that's a whole nother story isn't it? Anyone that knows me, knows how I have a big beef with the politicians.
Here's a perfect example why..... Just today I saw on the news that they are actually trying to stop an increase in the minimum wage that they have had frozen for ten years for the American workers. Yet in those same ten years, they have had ... count them ... 10 increases in wages. Hummmm something just doesn't smack right there. Federal minimum wage isn't even $6.00 per hour or a measly 800.00 a month gross. Know anyone that can live on that? I don't! I only get $34.00 a month more on my disability. I try to help myself survive, I have to pay for a business license just to sell my own skills: crocheting, sewing, painting (fine art), and toy making. And then I can't make any more than $700.00 or I loose my Social Security benefits. Yet they can get yearly increases in their exorbitant wages AND perks, AND perks AND perks AND.... well you get the message. And they are begrudging us a measly 6.00 an hour, saying "Businesses won't be able to hire anyone".
Excuse Me! That's the only reason they want to allow illegal aliens into this country illegally... they are wanting slaves and since we aren't willing to be slaves, they will just import them under the guise of helping those poor people.
Bull shit! They have no intention of helping them or us either... if they did, I wouldn't have to pay 50.00 a year for a business license then pay for the materials I needed to make the things I know how to make. I'm not using any machinery, it is all me: my mind, my talent, my hands, my supplies, my time, my money invested in me, yet they are going to tell me what I can and can't do with my own body and what I can and can't do with what poultry amount of money I may make off that talent.
Gimme a break. They don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and until we all wake up and start raising hell about what they are doing, we will all only get deeper into slavery and they will only get wealthier and wealthier.
Ok
So they are how they are, I'm still going to try... but you can bet I'm going to bitch every chance I get. And that includes to my so called representatives, senators, governor, President and the other Vice Politicians, oh excuse me the Vice President.
Guess I'll be among the elite few... 1 out of 5,000 write their representatives or call. It's a wonder we aren't in worse shape with those statistics. God help us!
