I am 71 years old and I am ashamed of what has happened to our country in my lifetime. I have many friends who do not accept this deterioration as fact. I sent them the following with the subject, "Is this the US you want to live in". If you are in my age group please do the same. Thanks.
Hi Bernie, Good link. Everyone needs to see the truth. Best Regards, Nevada

Thanks for the video, I agree with 99% of it. (: Are you aware of LENR and especially the Rossi E-Cat? This innovation has the potential to be a game changer. But I am afraid there are forces that do not want to see it realized. In fact it has been held in check by the powerful for 20 years. Please help to get the word out, and change the world. Thanks.
When we ignore those who are sick or starving, we are the ones who are sick.
Thank you for posting and the show of support. Together we we will prevail!
Bernie.........Your parents went through the Depression......WWII and you have been through many different phases of this country. History repeats itsself. WE will get through this. We aren't broke. We are mismanaged. WE can change that in the voting booth.
We cannot change it if the voting booth is rigged. Our politicians are not listening to the 99%, they are listening to the 1% who give them money to be reelected. A lot will change if we can get money out of politics.
How can that get done?
A constitutional amendment demanded by the 99%
Bernie, I think things will get worse also. We have to stop these greedy Bank Executives before it is too late. They have thieved for years of the poor and even their own Bank Staffers. The Bank Executives are not your ordinary Managers or even Area Managers. They are people like Vice Presidents and Directors.
The question is how do we change it. I see one clear path, if we have Representatives that are listening to the 99% we will get laws that will regulate the greedy. How do we get Representatives that listen to the 99%. Get money out of politics!
The politicians! Pah! The only ones who can change this are the men of honour, the Bankers - men who OWN the Banks. Men like Warren Buffett. They can throw our the crooks and charlatans, the Vice President and Directors who are paid sums like 100 million a year in bonuses. They can replace them with hard working Bank Managers who are paid about $120,000 per year, and will return the profits to build up the Bank's finances, so the Stockholders and especially the Pension Funds and Customers benefit. These rotten VPs and such have ripped the guts out of the economy for long enough and are laughing at us, as they think we are mugs and small fish. The 99% have HAD ENOUGH!
Not clear, how would you change the situation, elect Buffet????
Not about electing anyone. Obviously people like Buffett can help the situation as we all can. Buffett is already saying that rich people like himself need to be taxed at a much higher rate. It really needs a change in culture for people. The Banking Executives should all be fired and replaced by Bank Managers. The Banks are top heavy and have too many Vice Presidents. Some Banks even have Senior VPs! Note that the US Government only has one Vice President, and that is Joe Biden.
