The wealthy have sucked about all they can from the poor so now it is time for the middle class line up for the blood letting.

The system we have in the US
has enabled the rich to do this because they control the government.

Laws were made to do this & laws can change this.
You can suck & suck till a few have it all but wake up one day & find that the all isn't really very much. At that time we will be a very weak Nation.

If those who have much wish to keep what they have they need to find ways to see the fruits of our labor spread around more fairly. & in total there will be more for all.

Those that have, say they have created what they have & they alone deserve the rewards.

I say let us ship the top 1% to a desert island with nothing & let them prove their value.

Let us also ship the bottom 1% to see if those will let the top 1% make s***es of them. Or could it turn out the other way.

Oops that would be too many people so lets just send .001% for each group.

Lets start with the Banks & Wall Street. Do you have a credit card? If you do the Banks skim off fees for just about every thing. Way more that need for a fair profit.

On wall street you can sell stocks you don't have.

Take a look at the Check Cashing places, They suck money
big time.

The oil companies. Check out the deductions they get & the fees that they should pay & don't.

The insurance companies. Have Hospital Insurance? Fees & administration eat up a lot of money.

Have a job. How well are you paid? Have you or some one you know Had a job shipped over seas?

How about all the companies that have special tax laws to ease their tax bills.

How many companies get Government money just to move to a different location.

Why do you think big money spends so much money in the hopes of getting special help with tax laws.

So if you a really pleased with the fact that more & more money is going into fewer & fewer hands I guess that you should just keep you eyes closed & sit on your hands.

As for me I know that if there isn't an easing of the sucking money from the system I will just have to keep working.

I would suggest that might have to be a part of you plan.

You have the same opportunity, so why aren't you in the top 1 to 10%, instead of whining and crying about it? In case you haven't noticed, the rich control every country in the world, and they always will.

The point I am trying to make is that Feudalism wasn't such a great idea.

The idea of what America was about seems to me to have been a good idea.

But having all the wealth in just a few hands is not a good idea for any one but the few.

If I wanted more money I would or could have more but me having more than you is not what I want. I sell my services for the price I ask.

But I want to live in a world that most can have at least what I have. A roof over my head, food on my table, a bit of money coming in & some set aside for a rainy day. That some have more is fine with me but when the more becomes too much a line has to be drawn.

Just how much do you really need? Is there some point when enough is enough?

That sounds like a valid answer. But while most are beating their bodies & brains just to get by others are plotting & planing
how to get more money for them self. This includes buying politicians to make rules to help them & in many cases are harmful to the general public.

One of the best ways of doing what takes to get money seems to be is run for office & sell your soul to the highest bidder.

Tell me how much time to you spend on the streets of America.

Have you ever gone for a job where hundreds of people were seeking a job. & most were turned away?

I have. Many before me were turned away. When I got to the head of the line I went in & was hired.

Oh! Most turned away happened to be black. I am white.
I am sure my job sk**ls & work history had no part in the hiring.

To this day I am thankful that I got another job offer later that day & turned down the first one. On that interview the man hiring was from a school that played sports against my school.

The system isn't much fairer today.
