"In my report, The Economic Elite vs. the People,
I reported on the
strategic withholding of wealth from 99 percent of the US population over the past generation.
Since the mid-1970s, worker production and wealth creation has exploded.
As the statistics throughout this report prove, the dramatic increase in wealth has been almost entirely absorbed by the economic top one-tenth of one percent of the population, with most of it going to the top one-hundredth of one percent."

Please wake up to the fact that there is a "class"-war going on in the USA, and the middleclass is loosing.
This war is going global too, which is why I care.
Regarding socialism, I figure there is no point in discussing it with Americans - it
seems most don't know what it really means, and how it can be applied to help THEIR current situation.
Evidence? A lot of them really believe Obama is a socialist. Case closed.
(If so the why are the corporations running your country TODAY? - surely you must feel this to be true deep down... especially after the supreme court decided corporations have same rights as humans when donating to/supporting politicans during elections)
Why would Americans NOT want to live in a paradise,
where everybody is healthy,
no mentally ill on the streets robbing you - they are in hospital because it's free,
everbody has resouces,
crimes are low,
infrastructure is great and a lot of people has work because of this,
police is there to help not to make your life shit,
prison is about letting people out (getting them ready for normal life instead of making super-criminals) - and people are happy to know their taxes fight crime THIS WAY too),
all schools are free all the way up to universities,
I could go on and on.
You see, socialism has a very powerful and positive ripple-effect on civilization!
The American dream is even present! You can start with nothing and make it. Why should a lack of poor people hold you back on your way to success?
Maybe I just hit the nail, and this is why corporations are killing the middleclass as we speak. They wrongfully believe that they NEED poor citizens to get cheap labor. There is a class war, wake up. You have almost lost already (the bailout).
