America used to be a place you could come to work to be able to support yourself and your family.

Looking back over the last quarter century it seems to me that we’re seeing a reversal of this trend. American born citizens so overburdened by the failures of their country that they dream of moving somewhere they can support themselves, and maybe finally begin to live their lives.

What are your thoughts?

    In many ways the USA does not care for it’s people.

    Not only that, we’ll allocate 800 billion a year for eight wars, then tack on another 100 billion for a war that isn’t even ours, and 98% of voters are still going to vote for the ruling parties next year. This is despite the fact that we’re all paying 30-50% more to live, college is unaffordable, health care is likewise unaffordable, the right to housing is evaporating before our eyes, and in a few years we will have to fight for water.

      We have to look back at the great civil rights leaders of the 20th century. We must not accept oppression. We must work hard for a decent world for our descendants, not the ruling class’ “productivity”.
