See how Transparent it ALL is

Suddenly we the people are starting to believe we have control of our government.

Americans are starting to ask:

Why don't we have decent healthcare...
Why are we working harder and harder for less and less....
Why has there been no significant progress in energy...
Why is it almost impossible to actually own a home....
Why is an entire city's devastation being ignored...
Why has our government kept so many secrets from us...
Why can't the MSM report what's really relevant?
Are corporations benefiting or hurting us...
Do the 450 billionaires in the U.S. deserve it?
Are we working to serve each other or the elite?

I do not know if the "powers that be" are going to continue to allow us to ask these questions. I really wonder if they are planning a major offensive against us to muffle our voices. The offensive might not be aimed directly at us but more toward Iran or some other attack... just something to make we the people irrelevant.

I suppose, we will soon know the answer to that.

1. Thank you for your concern.

But I really have a low threshold of whining passive-aggressive defeatist crap.

3. Isn't it more passive and defeating to not ask these questions?

I'm really taken back by your response. It's great that American is asking these questions. But we still need to be vigilant.

2. If We Have 450 Billionaires Then Clearly The Tax System Is Broke

Nothing else seems plausable.

4. Yes there are that many

It was mentioned yesterday, actually 415 in the U.S. (that we know of) and 946 in the world. And they don't contribute to society.

"The 35 per cent increase in wealth mostly came from speculation on equity markets, real estate and commodity trading, rather than from technical innovations, investments in job-creating industries or social services."

5. I dont think it is fair to generalize that the very rich don't contribute to society...

But we should still be taxing the fuck out of them.
