The USA, still a World Power? Say what? You could have fooled me. There is no unity in this power. The Parties are divided. This power ain't got no class, it's classes are divided. There are few friends of this power, because the poor can't identify. And it's poor are tired of fighting the rich man's wars and are taking up the banner of class warfare instead.

Those with the power have all the wealth and intend to keep it. They say "Earn your own wealth,and don't spread ours!" Like watching interest and dividends grow was so hard to do. Ill gotten gains made on the backs of society's strongest and weakest by Wall Street inside traders, unregulated corporate monopolistic price-fixing raiders, and Ponzi-scheming bubble-inflating bankers. All with one thing in mind, a very stupid short-sighted unending short term bottom line that says "Feed me more!" And more is never enough for the "haves".

How about the "have-nots"? How do you earn wealth when you are out of a job, or working part time job(s) at a minimum wage with no benefits and still you keep going under? How can you earn wealth when there is no opportunity and the percentage of joblessness in this country rises only to stabilize when people's unemployment compensation runs out? Then you are no longer even a statistic, falling in and through the cracks of an economic nightmare.There is no follow-up to your plight, and you are considered an "Obama Socialist" if you even talk about spreading the wealth.

The finger pointing and name-calling from the radical conservative right would have you believe that it is your fault if the system fails you. The very same system likely to be abolished today if Jesus were to return right now. But let's not offend our Jewish friends and let's keep this strictly one nation under "a" God, who is "indivisible" to His Second Person (Jesus), lest we be deemed Anti-Semitic.Yowza!

Just because the homeless are not "visible" to you who are living in your ivory towers doesn't mean they're not out there and suffering. How can anyone who professes to be Christian or believe in a God, look with such cold disdain on those who are falling about him and advocate the false beliefs the wealthy minority espouse? That you're lazy, a free-loader, a <gasp> Socialist. They who are rapidly "dumping" their assets overseas to avoid paying their taxes and investing in the labors and raw materials of underprivileged nations like robber barons of yore, creating more of the very poverty they abhor
