Beyond Bridgegate

Now that Gov. Christie is back to his job at the Republican Governors Group, he is REALLY giving us reasons not to vote for him.
So he says Americans want income opportunity, not income equality and tries to make you think fairness is mediocrity.
But what he doesn't tell you - none of them do - is that the same people who are working against equality are working against opportunity, including him.
That opportunity song and dance is something they have been pulling, pretty successfully, for decades. They get away with it because people want to believe it. They want to believe that those who 'made it' are for everyone making it. Or at least they believe that those at the top make the rules to favor those at the top and when you make it, you can take advantage of those rules too.
What people don't figure on is that those at the top don't want you to make it, and in fact are working hard to make sure you don't.
Governor Christie talks about opportunity, but he doesn't tell you how hard he works against education funding. Where is the opportunity in that?
I know it can be hard to face, but the fact is, most of the rich don't want anyone else to join them. Hell, if they could, they would kick most of their fellows out too. See the fewer of them there are, the fewer they have to share their obscene wealth with. That is their ultimate goal.
Further, Christie equates greatness with wealth. Not achievement, not peace, not happiness, but wealth. Like others of his ideology, to him, the rich are superior beings. If you are not wealthy, you don't measure up. If wealth is not your goal, you are probably mentally ill, and certainly un-American. Listen to him, that is how he defines America - the place where everyone strives for his version of greatness. The place where the dollar rules supreme.
This is a perversion of what America means - and if they can't get that right, how can we trust them with anything else?
How can we trust them in office?
