How long do you think it will be that millions of American will remain content to stay on unemployment rosters and watch their standard of living deteriorate? How long do you think it will be that people will continue to pay increasing prices for essentials such as food and fuel while their incomes stagnate and decline? How long do you think it will be that millions of Americans will stand by while they are denied basic health services or given substandard care in the name of progress? How long do you think it will be that people will tolerate college tuition inflation of about 5% per year and piracy student lending? How long do you think it will be that people will allow their standard of living to disintegrate from an unjust tax code while the rich continue to benefit?

Don't listen to the business people and politicians who say America has only a setting sun to look forward to. Those are the same people who have spoon fed us the last 30 years with laissez faire lies. We have a bright future but we need to be brave enough to seize it!

How long do you think you have before the people take what is rightfully there's--the promise of freedom and opportunity? Time has run out for the 1%. Let us be brave in the righteousness of the cause and seize what has been stolen from us and our parents!

You spent money for college? Wow you screwed up. Should have bought a McDonalds.

Agreed, and I particularly like the statement -- how long do you think you have before the people take what is rightfully there's, the promise of freedom and opportunity -- so perhaps you would consider our group's proposal of an alternative online direct democracy of government and business at http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategically_weighted_policies_organizational_operating_structures_tactical_investment_procedures-448eo and then join our group's 20 members committed to that plan at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

This sounds like the same rubbish that proceeded the Russian Revolution and subsequently dictatorship, poverty, mass oppression, and genocide. "Good" ideas can lead to very bad things.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing
