When I say living off the grid, I mean it in the sense of Weeds Season 6 where they are in a broken down Jesus slathered motorhome parked in a ghost town in the midwest because they have no where else to go. I don't necessarily mean it in the green sense of turning off your electricity and utilities, although the lack of services and utilities is a distinct possibility.
While I've been through domestic abuse, overwhelming debt, job layoffs, chauvanistic bosses, death, and car accidents, it's somehow different to be in the position of not having a job (the dream job that you love) because there's not enough money in the state's budget and the college can't pay you anymore, and this on top of your spouse not having a job. The prospect of no healthcare, draining our retirement accounts, and eventually losing it all looms in the distance. But what about people who don't have retirement accounts to drain? What about those who have already "lost it all" or never had anything to lose?
Why exactly do corporations need bigger tax cuts? Oh yeah, that's right, they're going to create more jobs (overseas). That way we still won't have jobs and we won't have any tax income to provide basic services to the people of the United States. Even if I get a good job tomorrow, can I really forget what this nation is doing to its people? Can I really go on blindly with "I'm ok. My family's ok" I just don't think that's enough anymore. Too many people are suffering while the superrich get away with it all.
