The new American dream

The homeless on the Sacramento River.



Rejoicing in the success of capitalism?

 

Can't help but feel that you're trolling but I'll play along.

There are homeless people everywhere, even in NZ. It just so happens that the US has the highest Western disparity between rich and poor. Go to Paris, walk along the Seine and under the bridges you'll find the tents of the poor and homeless and France is all "Socialist" and that.

Saying that, I do feel gobsmacked that Working and Middle class American's can't see what's coming their way if they don't stop supporting the rich and their ability to become more rich. All that accumulated money is coming from somewhere. It used to come from abuse of other countries, then it came from the US working classes and now more and more from the US middle classes.

 

This isn't about capitalism, we don't practice it anymore, we have corporatizm and fascism. Thats what the NWO systems are based on.

 

Where is your picture of destitute and indigent of Venezuela, Cuba , North Korea, Vietnam?

 

until Bernacke changes course you are going to see more and more homeless people.

 

Very accurate. Free markets allow for competition and an even playing field.

 

Those countries do not pretend to be the richest country on the planet.

 

The new American dream is to get and hold down a job.

 

___Yep.___

 

You are correct. We did surely become too materialistic in years gone by... but these times will affect that lack of values significantly.

And many of the wealthy (not all), will learn or face (the hard way) that the middle class is the backbone of their success (and the strength of this nation).

All of that will come.

 

No one has to sleep in a tent in the United States. These people want to sleep in a tent because they don't want to follow the rules they have at homeless shelters. Maybe that is the best decision for them. There are worse things in the world then sleeping in a tent. Many people sleep in a tent for fun. They call it camping.

 

They say a picture paints a thousand words.

Capitalism itself need not be this way.

It is merely an ideal, and it's the people who then shape it to what it is.

Bill Gates is a capitalist, yet is perhaps not typical of many v wealthy capitalists.

No, what you are seeing there, and all around, is the symptoms of greed.

In short, the crippled economy of the US, or that of some EU nations, like Greece, it has gotten into the state that it has through the greed of rich speculators, crooked banking, and their debt often being owned by foreign banks.

Modern politicians pander to the needs of those same bankers and speculators. It may hurt us, the people, we are the one's that have to suffer the cuts and the job losses, and all because the economy has been shot to bits by speculators and assorted banks.

Then those that caused it, through their paid politicians and media, they try to shift the blame onto other things, actually, they want us to take responsibility for their wrong doing, and that is their end game.

And too many fall for it.

 

Why can't they get a home?

Let me guess, it is too expensive and often too difficult, as social housing is a mess in the US?

 

So they're just having fun while banks repossess their homes?

 

Hahahahahhhhahhahajajajjajajajahahhahahahhahjahhaha

 

Why are they homeless?

 

How do all you leftists explain the success of Chinese capitalism in lifting half a billion people out of poverty in thirty years?

Any way there isn't going to be a socialist America. There doesn't need to be a federal govt.

 

Have China done that?

Well, in truth, for a large part of history, China and India were the economic super powers. For much longer than the US or Britain has, for instance.

Indeed, some economists say that it's almost been a 'blip' that we have gone through a phase of being the economic powers, and that in the fullness of time, the original powers will again be graudally restored.

Just the natural order of things..

 

Who said I'm not a capitalist?

 

Yeah, it's true.

 

Yeah, so is Obama.

 

Thanks for the vast non-sequitur.

 

I'm just speaking truth to power.

 

Corporate down sizing for more profit?

 

Awryly, I see that most of your posts and all threads started by you are venomous hatred/jealousy of the US. Anti-American flame baiting with stupid questions that you already have an anti-American answer for. For crying out loud, give it a rest.
