Why are we afraid of governing?

How can the Republican Party put faith back into our people, instead of doing nothing and blaming everyone else. We expect more than this.
Sister Joan Alflen

Why is this important?

Why are we afraid to tax the rich equally and why are we afraid to our war funding? I am a Grand Rapids Dominican Sister from Michigan, am retired and see families struggling. I live on fixed income and am grateful for my help from social services. Why should some people be shut out from this help. There are so many why's that people are floating around. We have lost hope in our government. Taking recesses from your jobs, is not a noble thing to do. What are your reasons. When I was working, I did not take recesses, nor should you.
