Forum Post: Broken in USA

I agree that the current system of financial equality in this country is severely broken.

It is interesting to see that many Republicans see this as their movement, when in reality, it is not. Both parties have failed the middle class. Governments are responsible for protecting its citizens militarily and financially.

When companies outside the US have extreme advantages over US based companies doing the same exact work, you begin to realize why the outsourcing has occurred. What should have happened was tariffs on imports. I believe in capitalism when all are on the same playing field. You won't even try if the deck is stacked against you. Greed needs to be cast out.

People need food and shelter, and dignity. Let's get jobs back and everything else will begin to heal, but it will take time. With reports saying the unemployed number is in the 30-60 million range, it will take a national effort to combat this massive problem.

This is the largest problem this country has faced since the great depression, and has the potential to do even more damage.

Everything needs to be frozen in time, and I mean everything. Too many out there right now are drooling over the opportunity of making financial gains from those in disparity (the vultures, the greedy). Disparity that is no fault of theirs.

Great post. Corporations have too much influence over our Washington puppets. It's not surprising to see how screwed up everything is considering our money is printed by a private corporation, otherwise known as the Fraudulant Reserve.
