this is a documentary that I watched last night. This is extremely relevant and provides some decent information concerning our issues. Everyone should try to check it out, if you have netflix, it's play instantly =]
This film really shows a perspective that we don't normally see but that we always knew was there. The 1% do know what they're doing, but what keeps them doing it? Greed. They want more and more when they already have enough, they can't even entertain the thought of sharing the wealth that they either worked so hard to accumulate or inherit. But we're all Americans, and this inequality needs to be balanced out, peacefully and reasonably.
Yes! Inequality needs to be balanced out.
Reminder: do not respond to the Trolls, naysayers and surly types.
haha thank you. =]
The problem is these people with all of the money also have a large locus of control over policy making in the government. Naturally they are going to choose what is in their best interest to keep THEIR money. In doing so they are really hurting the majority of the American population and if we want to live happy lives, we have to do more than attempt to make money ourselves by working for hard to find minimum wage jobs that barely pay the bills while also trying to go to college and make something of ourself.
Thats a fucking struggle in and of itself, my friend, Jalan.
Jamie Johnson. Yes, he is so interested in presenting a fair point of view on the subject. This is pretty simple. The rich have no obligation to do anything with their money. It is their money. Sure there are assholes that have a goal of screwing other people. The number of those people are balanced by the communist wackos on the left. Bottom line is if you want to decide what to do with money, earn some yourself.
Straight 10% tax to everyone .... all 100% of americans!!!!!!!!!!
