The myth of the United States - Part 2 (Final)

People would say why don’t they go back where they come from? I would ask the same question to the immigrants I would talk to and they would say: go back to what? Or : go back and admit defeat?
Both parties have sold their souls to the biggest bidder, in most cases corporations. There is almost no difference between the parties. Who is to blame for this? In my honest opinion, us. We tend to forget that politicians work for us, the represent us, the constituents. If I have a business with employees, and I don’t check on them, there is a very good chance that they will not look out for my interests. We have a saying where I come from that says: “the eye of the owner fattens the cattle.” I think that is very clear. If it’s not clear enough I will be very happy to explain that.
The US is turning into a third world country. We call that capitalism, so in the name of free markets we are pushing more people into poverty for the benefit of a few people at the top. We are removing people from their houses so that the banks can recover the money of bad loans that they created, and misled the public into getting. Where are the authorities recovering the money that they loaned to Wall Street, at the expense of Main Street.
When I go to a store, either clothing, electronics, shoes, nothing is made in the USA. Everything is imported. We have lost our industrial base. What made this country number one.
I have never seen any other people around the world vote against their own interests. I don’t have to go very far. Just in New Jersey people voted for somebody who will cut the education budget. Communities will have to raise their property taxes so that they can still pay for the people who teach their children.
Pundets will say that it is good to fend for yourself, and that it is good to cut taxes. We have been teased and misled to believe that one day we can be part of the top 1% of the population.
We are not number in education, we are number 36 in return on investment on health care, we have not been investing like other industrialized nations in the future of the country. The only thing that the United States can be proud of being number is debtor of the world, and the only thing that we have been exporting for the last few decades are jobs.
My conclusion is that the country has been hijacked by corporate America. The same people who make us believe about a free market, and the utopia of capitalism, and then they are the first ones to ask for bailout when things don’t go as planned. Capitalism is you make it, great, and if you don’t you are on your own. Free market, which I find a joke, because they are never free,means that the each one competes to be the best. That is not what happens here, what we have here is just corporate welfare.
