These scammer fat cats that have taken over America need to realize ok so you are so rich your kid's kid's will never spend all your money but a country is seen internationally not in terms of its elite but its overall state. Our state is crumbling into itself in so many ways.

Our nation is in deep water when something like 80% of the money belongs to less than 10% of the population. It is 2007 and education has taken a dive, health care has taken a dive in every way but price. We pay more for pharmaceuticals than any other country in the world it would seem. It used to be that you could get a job that included good health care benefits gratis. That was effectively eliminated by the greedy corporate owners. It is hard to find a job that is full time anymore, because the corporation heads just want to eliminate contributing to health care for their workers. I believe that the people who own these corporations are the same people a few years ago who used to own slaves. It is time to really get involved with the way this country is being run. The founding fathers meant for the citizens to take an active role in nurturing our democracy. We aren't supposed to be leaving the work of government up to others. While everyone has been busy charging toys and amusing themselves with gossip media, the fat cats have been in the process of taking our democracy away from us. Democracy and capitalism have a hard time coexisting. We wind up with people with no homes and no health care. We have an educational system that is so broken that each year we get dumber. Jupiter1
