There are so many other examples over many years of how Donald Trump would make claims about issues and people but never once follow through with his promise to provide to the American public the evidence to support his claims. When faced with sexual assault allegations by numerous women, Donald Trump insisted that he would drag said women into court to prove that he was innocent. To this day, Mr. Trump has not lived up to this vow.
But rather than speak about specific politicians these days, I prefer to focus on issues, specific topics like our American healthcare system, our American tax policies, the current status of our American infrastructure of roads and bridges, our public education systems, the state of our relationships with our allies and the current growth of the gap between our most wealthy Americans and the poor and middle class of our country.
In my view, we Americans have to wonder why too many of our allies have healthcare systems that allow for access to healthcare to all of their citizens at less than half the cost that we in America face. Why are our roads and bridges falling apart and not being repaired and expanded, as they should be? Why are our lowest paid Americans making less than 50% of what their predecessors were making back in 1950 while CEOs and top management people are making three hundred times what the average worker earns in our country.
My America, from the very beginning of our time, has always been a mix of capitalism with socialist imprints, and for the most part, it has worked for the benefit of us all. But today, we appear, in my view, to be moving away from our positive history, and in so doing, bringing upon ourselves challenges, that if not overcome, will significantly damage us in the same way that ever other great power before us suffered severe damages.
