chicano manifesto, 47 percent 2012

Chicano manifesto:  47 percent, esta vato loco runs for re-election, 2012.

Cchwnn.

Kingsville,tx. Hello I am General Fidelio Vermicelli, con this manifesto. We now know where we all stand,

Regardless if you work or don’t work, we know where we stand. When in most cases our hood has its share                                                                                                         of those folks that are mostly fit into that 47 percent of descried by some rich folks from across the tracks.          

I will only refer to our hood, in our hood is made up of lots of Chicano, a few Mexicans, some white folks of course married to some Chicana or Mexican and our share of African Americans, better known as black people.  In our hood we have folks from all ages, all levels of education and a whole lot of disables persons and a hand full of proud Americans veterans. Many are hard working people that have learned that the American system is what we make it for us.

 Many in some cases work and many don’t work. Many have families that work and many have family members that don’t work. But one thing for sure we realized already had an idea is that we are part of the middle class in the hood. We are proud of the homes we have, the cars we own, and the business some of have own. But then the reality settles in and debts come with all this success.  We know when things get ruff we hang in there, we know when things get a bit out of hand, we try our best to balances our lives with what we have.

But this balance in some many cases comes from our government assistants. Regardless what the source, in some cases  we do get subsided just like farmers, bankers, and of course cooperation’s and educational institution, and local governments and even fin aid to better ourselves. Now the question is  who are those in the hood that get this help, well in some cases, folks from all aged, all levels of education and a whole lot of disable persons and of course that hand full of proud American veterans.

Regardless of what that dude from across the tracks says about our 47 percent, we know deep in our hearts many do not take advantage of such status but are thankful for the assistances. When we can send millions and millions of aid to foreign countries and help them maintain a very simple way of life, than why not us?   

We are not asking for a new home, a new car, a new street, or many even a raise in our pay check, we stand firm que we are the middle income in our hood when it comes down to it and we will do our part but don’t use us as a tool to determine the need for others in other hoods.

 

What is the point, I don’t have one, but I am proud to say that when I look outside my window, I know I am better off in some cases than the person living next to me. If you believe in the American barrio’s, and if you believe in the American hoods, vote for esta vato loco, and I promise an chicken in ever home and a chicken in every pot.
