Yesterday, I was talking to some friends from back home about some current issues that were taking place. They have to inform me on whats going on the home front granted I dont live there anymore. I grew up in a small town and also one of the smallest counties in the state. The county itself has the Highest taxes in the state as well the one of the highest unemployment. Lucky me I escaped from that place, but others haven't. As my friend and I furthered our conversation, we began to realize that this has been a problem in the county for many many years, and the problem was not being fixed. Taxes are so high businesses do not want to even come near the place. The jobs the people do have are leaving and going other places, its just a lose lose situation. The sad thing about it is that this is a place where people are fed up, but no one is putting there foot down. Its like a sea of oppression in the air. County seats are filled with white business owners who own business and are scared of competition. They like to keep things the way that they are because it benefits them. The people have no choice there. The thing I dont understand is why are these people steady being reelected into office. Its just so much crookedness going on its ridiculous. When will enough be enough for the people in that area? Even though I dont live there anymore the problem concerns me because my family is there. They deserve to have good paying jobs, places to spend there money, eat, and have great entertainment. When will the people decide to break there silence?
