Might America go to Hell?

 ~Glenn Sullivan

If Dr.King were alive today he would be outraged. The anniversary of King’s dream is coming up and still today there is “racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism” which has created a “sick society.” King fought for these ideals but clearly they haven’t been met. Racial profiling still goes on today, the police go into neighborhoods assuming things about people just because of their skin color. Economic injustice continues as the poor are getting poorer while the rich get richer, and on the ladder of our society, the middle class is diminishing and soon the middle rung won’t be found anymore.

 Obama has stood by not doing what he promised when he was elected, but may have just made things. Obama bailed out banks and big businesses yet the national debt keeps increasing. King would be disappointed with such failures and the failure with how his dream has been carried out. King would agree we need a “revolution” in our priorities. We should be taking power from the rich and giving it to everyday people; this would be the first steps of many to a better tomorrow. 

This article should have a tremendous influence on all of us because it is about the future of this country. If things keep on the way they’re going, then our economy will become even worse. Obama hasn’t held up to his promises and Kings dream have become blurred. There needs to be a change in order for our society to flourish.
