The U.S. has been in an economic crisis ever since the 9/11 attack, and so far, it's only worsening by the minute. Jobs are lost, industries are going down, and worst of all, the U.S. doesn't have as much to spend as it did years ago, which actually brings me to my next point: the culprits behind this crisis are the U.S. Government and the large bank companies. For years and years on end, the Government is putting millions of dollars into these banks' pockets, all because the banks themselves are going down, too. So, the question is:

Do they need all this money? Or are they just stealing it from U.S. citizens?

Large companies cannot be arrested, but why not make them pay us back? It seems only logical to take back what was rightfully ours in the first place. We have to do something; if we don't, the banks - and the Government - will make sure we stay this way: broken and lost. I personally think that if we form an army against this situation, we will need a leader. And that leader will be the inner guidance that lies in all of our hearts. This guidance is what tells us to take one step, two steps, and eventually we reach the top of the mountain, successful and working.

So, in other words, my opinion is that the banks don't really need the cash as much as we do. They seem to have absolutely no idea about the "darkness" we're in right now, and the only thing we can do is let the banks and the government know how we feel, and maybe, just maybe, things will change for the better. I believe we can make this work if we just follow what our instincts tell us; the bigger the army, the more powerful the result will be.

You see, this money that is possibly going to waste is just what we need to fix the economy. Think about it...if we have lots of money, we can spend, and that means the companies and businesses can stay active, and that means we can work at these businesses and get paid, and finally, we can spend again. See, it's all just an endless economic chain, starting from Step 1, to 2, then 3, and then...we do it all over and over and over again. What I'm trying to say is that all this cash should be coming to us. We are U.S. citizens. We are powerful, strong, and unstoppable. We have a voice, an opinion, and freedom. And now, it's about time we released it and spoke up for ourselves and the proud, strong nation we all know as...

The United States of America.
