I don't doubt you've got good intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with those. 100 years of the mainstream is what's got us into this mess, dude. Not really something to brag about, you know? Good luck...
We were doing just fine up until Reagan if you ask me. Then Newt controlled the GOP in the 90's and came up with NAFTA. Then everything the Bush & Tom Delay run government did. If not for the GOP, we'd be just fine.
And you must not be rich. The rich aren't complaining. They've never been richer. That's because they control our banks and our government. They run the oil companies and they run Blue Cross and Blue Shield. They are the Koch brothers. The modern day robber barons.
I know your intentions are good, but you know not what you are asking for. You want every man for himself? You aren't rich enough to benefit from that.
The Greatest time in American history was from FDR-Clinton. Unions, civil rights, labor laws, high wages, great prosperity, entitlements, low unemployment, etc.
The rich hated those years. We made too much. They wanted to make more. All these benefits like sick days and vacation days and collective bargaining was eating into their profits. So the attack began under Reagan. But Bush and Tom Delay took it to the extreme. They needed to crash the economy in order to push their radical agenda. Now we are broke. So they say we need to make sacrafices. But the Bush tax breaks have to stay.
The GOP broke this country, not socialism, not regulations, not liberals, not freddy mack or fanny mae and not unions. And they did it on purpose.
