Let's say we have 100,000,000 people at or below the poverty line...

And that the reports about bonuses on Wall Street will hit $90 billion this year are accurate.

That's $900 for every man woman and child mired in despair, not thriving, just existing all because of the top 1% lust for more and more and more...

Why do we suffer this crap?

Why do we not demand that they pay their fair share?

What is it that we are missing that we allow unfettered socialism for the wealthy and brutal capitalism for the rest of us?

Is this truly a Christian Nation that allows for this?

Why are our people so gullible to buy this shit without question?

Thank you sir, can I have another...

2. They buy this shit because they have been brainwashed

by the MSM.

They are afraid and confused. Also uneducated.

I think our legislators have been bought and sold by the bankers...

Very well said.

RIP Leslie Nielsen :)

4. What does Leslie Nielsen's death have to do with this?

5. I got it.....

But truly, that's less than a third of the country and with all the people who were at or near the poverty level prior to the meltdown being about 30-35 million, it's not a far fetch of the imagination to think there are now 100 million.

I haven't gotten an increase in my social security going on three years. No cost of living adjustments. Think of all the people who haven't gotten COL in the past three years who have slipped into poverty because of that...
