  1. I think the human civilisation is going through a very critical phase. Economically a large chuck of the population is suffering and a lot of conflict all around us. Our future is bleak. No point in blaming some individual leaders.


  2. of course it is. who do you think rules?? i mean its a system thats planned out. only rich white guys can rule because they are well rich and white. so all the  people that arent rich or white get screwed over. the rich people pay less taxes than the average working person, why?? because they are rich. so i believe that yes, this government is created to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

  3. No. Our government is set up to let the ambitious and educated get ahead. If you are poor and uneducated, you shouldn't expect that the rich to pay for your healthcare, housing, food, and care of your huge family. You made the decisions, you need to figure it out. You have fallen into the class envy trap set by the Democrats. There never has been a time a poor person writes another poor person a paycheck. We need the rich to own companies and employ the rest of us.

  4. No, this government is NOT designed to MAKE the poor poorer and the rich richer.  The government is designed to ALOW the poor to get poorer and the rich to get richer.

    In the US, you and you alone are in charge of wether you will be rich or poor.  If you work hard, get a good education, continuously improve your skills,  and invest your wealth wisely, you will be rich.  If you don't work hard, you don't get a good education, you don't improve upon yourself, and you carelessly spend your wealth, you will be poor.  And you can be anywhere in between, where you will be is up to you.

  5. I don't know if it was designed that way until they passed the amendment  allowing income tax, but our government makes everybody poorer.  The rich just seem to figure the system out better and probably work harder at it while they are getting richer.  Everybody has to buy this $4.00 gas that is a democrat contrived emergency since they won't let us develop our own resources.  If you like current  gas prices thank a do nothing democrat congress along with a few liberal republicans.

  6. No, but it seems that's what President Bush's administration has done!

  7. The poor get poorer because they make bad financial decisions and the rich get richer because they make good financial decisions.  The government has some control over this but only in the rate of taxes they apply to each group.

    It baffles me when people like Obama want to punish those in our society who have been fiscally responsible.  If they truly wanted to help the poor why do they not teach personal finance in public schools rather than algebra and calculus, which are things that most people will never use in their lives?

    We as a society and as a democratic government should hold up as examples those people who have been frugal with thier money and not wasted their income as an example for the poor rather than blame them for the poor being poor.

    Most millionaires in America are people who made less than $90k per year, not CEO's.  They spend less money than they make and do not use credit cards.  Poor people are poor for the most part due to their impatience and p**s poor buying habits.  They use high interest credit to "get" the things they want rather than saving their money until they can purchase these things without credit.

  8. The middle class pay a %37 tax rate

    The wealthy pay %17 tax rate.

    You do the math.

  9. Their agenda is to cut out the middle class, it's the way of all dictators, you are only left with the very rich and the very poor, Bush is taking the correct steps of a good dictator, and will soon have and own the USA.  Why are only good people assassinated?.

  10. actually thats not how it is at all

    in the long run the government - along with this so called capitalist system - will drive america into what the USSR use to be ; that is the bulk of ppl make basically the same amount of money having the same rights and power as everyone in their 'class' while being dominated by a group of more powerful ppl

    oh offcourse its not all like the USSR atleast in the US in u can own ur own land right? ..well after u pay off that large *** morgage ..if u manage to pay it of ..till then the bank (those in power) have control over it
