Money has become the answer to all questions. Yes, greed is old; but, we currently live in a new gilded age. Our capitalist system dictates that those with more capital rule. "We the people" are mere spectators cleverly fooled into thinking our viewpoint matters. Voltaire said: "The comfort of the rich depends on the abundance of the poor". These days it is called disaster economics. The more of us just struggling to live the less we are able to fight back and the more they get away with. Free markets mean freedom for the wealthy to get around democracy and freedom to exploit. But no matter what anyone says, the false idea that by doing well one is doing good must remain. Nothing will change in a nation so full of ignorant selfish people who will not be moved away from fatty foods and American Idol for even their family, much less strangers. Yet, some of us cannot give in and will always fight back. Cursed with the altruism bug we are humanity's redeemers. Colossal ignorance is the head winds we run against. There must be a communication revolution if a democracy of the people, by the people, for the people is to survive.

just another wanna be protesting the capitalist system.let me remind you that the capitalist system started out as the barter system and was the only honest system for thousands of years,socialism is more like returning to the old fiefdom system where the lord or baron did everything for you,i want my government to be small,very small.stop taking my money to build your castle.
