The American people are being programmed to be poor, stupid, working class, government dependents. Our education system is not designed to turn out highly educated individuals. It is designed to produce 'slaves' who will keep 'feeding the machine'.
People ***** about '8% owning 85%' yet do not say a word about the piss-poor education system, a government that claims the 'success' of it's social programs 'designed to help people' is how many people are dependent on them rather than how many people have improved their lives and gotten off of them.
If you started from scratch and tried to design a plan / process to keep yourself in power, in control, rich you could not come up with one better than what has been created here in America. ... and most people have not caught on yet.
LBJ's focus, after civil rights passed - due to his own racial bias - was on blacks. He declared in order to control the blacks and con them into forfeiting their newly-won rights the government had to 'give them something, but not enough to make a difference'...and that is exactly what he did. He said that his plan would make 'those ni@@ers vote Democrat the next 200 years'.
The idea was simple - give blacks 'freebies', getting them addicted to govt handouts - dependent on them to the point where their survival depended on receiving them. To do this they had to keep them uneducated and poor, tell them they were 'victims' who were 'owed this'. Great plan...and it worked. More than 50 years later Democrats have blacks believing the DNC is the only party that cares for them (because they keep doling out the 'free stuff upon which they are dependent) and things have only gotten worse, not better.
LBJ had a great plan, but his vision was too small, narrowed by his own racism. He lacked the greater vision / conviction of applying this new 'economic slavery' to those of his own color as well. LBJ sought to make whites the 'ruling class'. Years later color has pretty much been eliminated from the equation to where there is just a 'ruling class' and those who 'feed the machine', who perpetuate 'economic slavery' by becoming addicted to, becoming satisfied with, and dependent upon government handouts.
The middle class is slowly being eliminated in this country, as the nation is being forced to evolve into 2 groups - the ruled and the rulers. Need proof? Nancy Pelosi demonstrated it - put it right out there for the entire US to see...and no one blinked an eye...when she declared about the ACA: 'Americans have no right to know what is in legislation (edicts) until they (Congress - the self-appointed 'rulers') force it into law.
As America continues to decline I have no real hope that this nation will wake up to what is going on before it is too late. It isn't a 'GOP Vs DNC' thing, as the two parties have conned people into thinking (which is why we can't hardly tell the difference between the two these days). It is 'us' - the 'ruled' - against 'them' - the self-appointed rulers.
Our education system sucks, that's true, but it's because of the people. The public has demanded that they have Black History month, and focus on social crap, and save the polar bears, and other mindless crap that serves no purpose.
They also demand that they focus on sports, and football, and other trivial crap, that has no value. Additionally, you can't get rid of bad students. No matter how much they act up, and refuse to learn, schools can't ditch bad students. If that's not bad enough, teachers Unions make it nearly impossible to get rid of bad teachers.
When you look at private schools that routinely out perform the public ones, what do you see? A primary focus on academics, and sports and athletics is minimal. Bad students are eliminated very quickly, and bad teachers even faster.
People point to Finland education as being some of the best schools in the world... and shockingly, they nearly the exact same policy. Bad students are removed from schools very quickly. And the schools focus on academic success, not social crap, and save the yellow finch, and hug the trees, and love minorities.
The problem in our education system, is the public's fault. That's all there is to it.
But it's not "designed to produces slaves". Please. The only people slaves in our society, are people who choose to be slaves. Life is work dude. Get over it. You have to serve someone, or you don't live. It's true anywhere in the world. Get over it.

Nah, you are crazy. That's bonker talk. The list of people in this country that have built massive wealth, and ended up in poverty, is endless. Most of the top richest families, end up with no wealth by the 3rd generation.
Vanderbilt was arguably the richest man this country has ever known. The Vanderbilt's have zero. Nothing. All the money was squandered.
The reason rich people are rich, is because they produce things that have value. The reason poor people are poor, is because they blow their money. When a poor person does rich people actions, they end up rich.

You are crazy if you think the system protects the wealthy.

Stop blaming others for the publics failures. There is only one reason Nancy Pelosi is in office. The public voted her there. This idea that somehow "we're being conned into blaw blaw" is more blame shifting. As long as you shift blame, the situation will not improve. Go to any AA meeting, and the first thing they teach is that before you do anything at all, to help anyone, they have to accept responsibility.
Trying to blame "society" or whatever, is a great way to continue to the problem.
