There are 311+ million people in the U.S., yet we hear about 1% being the problem. And, really, only a small percentage of those have the real wealth. That's like an elephant being hounded by a damn chihuahua.

If we weren't all so convinced that it was right to continue this way, if we weren't so scared of losing our beds on the plantation, we could end this tomorrow. We just have to learn to stop pointing fingers, because those people, the wealthy, are NEVER going to change. We will never make them change either, because they can always hire half of us to kill the other half until we change our way of thinking, as Jay Gould rightly pointed out.

The problem is that it may well end soon, whether we keep propping it up or not, because our little pyramid scheme is not making things better, and it can't go on forever. The odds are that if and when that happens we will be left with a bunch of people whose minds haven't been changed, who are eager to make it all better like it was before", who will follow some goofball preacher that says his snake oil will get us all better again right off the cliff.
