  1. Due to the depravity and violence of the long-term entrenched political elite class in this country, this country is set up to serve the top 1% to 2% at everyone else's expense. If we got better people elected this could change, bar none; but people keep voting for the same evildoers and are shocked when nothing changes, and the business and private elites continue to take more and more which causes poverty to expand and trickle upward at alarming rates. I'm all for fair and ethical business provided it is indeed fair and ethical and everyone is benefiting from it; which isn't the case in most enterprises today imo. With a few simple legal changes ALL effective poverty could be ended tomorrow but that won't happen until people of actual conscience get elected in this country and start taxing and regulating all of the excess loot away from the top and funnel it back downwards where it belongs. People can still be wealthy, just not to the ludicrous degree they are now. To think that people have a right to infinite accumulation is something that has always been obscene and appalling to me and I oppose it in my bones. NO private business, no corporation and no single individual or private household has the right to accumulate bullshit amounts of wealth without end. There should be upper limits to income and business size across the board. We can debate where these limits should be but they should most definitely exist. We have to set them somewhere. All families and children under certain wealth levels should get absolute ironclad guarantees of access to comprehensive medical care, a variety of nutritious and desirable food, housing, mental healthcare support, quality public schools, access to public transportation, emergency services and emergency safe housing, and any other basic need government can assist with. If these political filth only want to serve the crassness and the evilness of the ultra elites then they needs to go. The bottom 90% matter TOO. If only we could pull a 1917 today. It has to start by demanding better for ourselves and all other ordinary people in the country. We CAN do it; it just takes political will, which unfortunately is about as craven, corrupt and evil in my eyes as it gets. If we want public policy to work for the bottom 90% we're going to have to throw out the corrupt Red and Blue nonsense clown show and put in some communists and socialists that will do what I have described. Things absolutely WILL NOT change and will only get worse until we do that. I think we can indeed vote our way out of this but only if actual human beings step up and run for office. Short of that I don't actually know because then that means we're stuck with the status quo, and I find that unacceptable. We certainly not going to shoot our way out of this, so voting and debating is the only way. I don't know- it may take a lot longer than our lifetime to change it. Really sucks. Life could be materially secure for all at virtually every moment but not with this kind of Satan-loving political structure in place. One way or another we better start demanding change, organizing for and doing what we can to get there. Every little bit helps. Poverty and lack is absolutely unnecessary and a stain on our social conscience in a nation as materially blessed and plentiful as this one. Bar fucking NONE.

  2. The problem in this country is nothing it is seen as a right by the demons we keep electing to be our overlords. Opportunity is parceled out piecemeal to a lucky few, and the bottom 60 to 70% are routinely thrown away and left to their own devices with few to zero supports. Human life has no value to the animals who have power here and therefore if people die or suffer due to avoidable material lacks they could care less. It's the benefit of being a sociopath. All these problems are beyond easy to solve. We ALREADY live in a post-scarcity world. We produce enough stuff to provide for everyone several times over, but where is it all going? Well some of it's going to those who paid for it, and the rest is going in the trash. Not enough is being redistributed and sent to where its needed. This could be so easily be changed by conscientious hardcore leftists in office if they could ever get elected- but that does seem impossible. The two less than human, utterly worthless, joke of existence corporate parties control all and people continue to be fooled time and time and time and time and time and time again. Its sad to see. People don't have inherent rights to basic material security here; but billionaires, mega millionaires, and Wall Street legal crooks have the right to keep taking forever and impoverish the rest of us to do so. Nice value system our ruling overlords operate from isnt it?? If we want different we have to build up an actual Left party where we matter and vote differently. To think the subhuman Democrats are literally going to suddenly change their spots and start carrying about us (pretending they mean what they say) is beyond a sad hopeless naivete, when generations have showed us this will NEVER happen. Like their GOP friends they serve the elites and always have. Wall Street controls all when it comes to overarching government policy; the Red and Blue parties are the same party with two different faces- that is all.
