The largest problem in the US today is that the corporations are taking over our country. They are buying our congress. Wall street, alone, spent 1.3 billion on lobbyists last year. I am sure the energy companies have spent about as much. And our supreme court has been "packed" with 5 justices who vote constantly for corporations over the people and our democracy, even calling corporations people (sociopathic people-my note). Almost every decision empowering the corporations (with totally crazy justifications and probably unconstitutional) is split 5/4 5/4, 5/4. Which party appointed those 5 justices who always vote for the corporations over the people? Today the bottom 50% of the poeple have 2.5% of the nations wealth. the top 400 richest people have more than the bottom 150,000,000. We are 65th in the world in income distribution. Ahead of Rwanda and behind Uganda. We are turning into a plutocracy and it our largest danger. And what we should all be focused on like a laser. <<So bush stole all $2.6 trillion in SS money in your mind? That's dishonest. I'm talking all of them who allowed it to happen. Who voted them in? What generation screwed up?
