The cause of the problem-is the rich

they have bought the government
How much money does one need to live well? It certainly isn't a billion and yet they whine about taxes, poor babies
They suffer so little and yet they whine
They have little concept of what it is like living paycheck to paycheck or homeless. They never see the common man. Some don't give a damn. Like one Republican said "if they don't have enough money for medical care let them die".
And you who are not suffering that support this system should have to live like some people then maybe those of you who are still human would understand what you are doing by just putting your hands in your pocket and cowardly let the system be.
One of my friends said she wished the homeless would stop asking for money from her because she can barely afford to keep her home and pay the bills. I asked her "do you think the well to do ever experience the suffering of the common man. No they are in their gated communities, have health care, etc" Why should they care? They think all we have to do is get a job (a job that many of them have exported), just borrow some money from your well to do parent (Romney's solution)
You who are not suffering in this system WAKE UP you might be next...do you really think the rich will not want more? After they get through picking the life out of the lower classes YOU ARE NEXT.
I grew up in an era that had many unions (at a great cost to life often) money and power could not screw you over. Notice how few unions exist today? The well to do got you by the balls and you just sit there instead of getting together and putting a stop to human misery. You don't like paying taxes? The solution is to cut social programs while giving tax breaks to corporations. You the worker who not sleeping in the woods thinks that is the way to solver the problem IGNORE IT. Yes, it would take courage to fight money and power. And honesty and spirituality.
When I was a kid the Glass-Stegal was in force, interest could only be charged up to a certain rate and unions were in the majority. You of the middle class what makes you think you are not next? Wishful thinking?
