diatribe

that there are poor people in the united states is a cause for shame and embarassment to the united states. rather than help the poor in any real, meaningful way, americans always take the short cut. yet, even while knowingly taking these short cuts, americans don't understand why their shoddy efforts aren't good enough. thus they declare that all poor people are lazy or just 'looking for a hand out' and put the blame of poverty squarely upon the poor, who are victims of the capitalist system for it is through capitalism that poverty is created. and so mainstream americans created the homeless and needy within their society all while beating the drum of consumerism, which is bizarre, as consumerism and capitalism is an unfair, unequal system. even the middle class suffers even though they are largely ignorant of the abuse heaped upon them by their masters, the rich of this nation. now, in america, a man is said to be free but this is not true for all men, women and children in this country are under one thumb and that thumb is rich who make the rules, repress the people and take from them their civil rights and liberties. in fact, the rich have even made it so a brick building has a larger voice in the way the government is run than a flesh and blood citizen simply by calling the building a 'corporation' and, according to the united states supreme court, this building gets free spech and a say in politics. the rich have it made. they get away with murder, theft and treason simply because they are rich while poor people slave away in their prisons and factories. but it is the golden rule here in the states: he who has the gold, rules.
