Several of the known and nationally printed pundits have spoken about the tea partiers and the wall street protestors. The commentaries range from their being “mobs”to being uninformed.These pundits have missed the mark. These protestors are the same types of people who were involved in the American Revolution and through the “Near Civil war” of the 1960’s which effectively brought “slavery” to an end. The youth and supposedly uninformed have a better grasp on the country’s problems and the political part in it than many of these well-known pundits. They have taken it to the streets as their ancestors did and the Government listened.Well here they are again and the Government should be listening.Many of the protestors are voters who have little or no party affiliations and are not predisposed to voting along party lines. It is past time for our Government (more especially the Congress) to wake up and do their jobs. The long serving Congress has collectively created more problems than they have solved and cannot possibly make a case for reelection unless they can see the future of America beyond their personal needs.
