Have you noticed how compassionate our government is to its citizens v. other countries?

I absolutely agree. It isn't too late for the American people to stand up & take back their country, charity begins at home & don't let your politicians lose sight of that.

Man, you hit the nail on the head. I don't really think the government (the elite) are compassionate to anyone.

Watch this movie about the very situation you're talking about...

Very telling. Our wealthy are EVIL. Not all of them... just the power-hungry ones in Washington and NY.

Our nation's "wealth" (they share a little with us, the common man here in the states... through lower prices) is being built on the backs of people in impovershed nations... not just on their backs... but with their blood as well.

Tiger Woods makes more money per year endorsing Nike on TV than all of the workers who make Nike shoes put together. Nike shoes are made in Indonesia by enslaved people working 20 hour shifts for $1/day.

Sickening greed... that's all it is.

Big business owns our politicians. While we are watching the superbowl these fools are making deals to line their pockets and sell out the american people. Democrats and republicans.

well, i agree. for those of us who are "middle class" we get no help. the help is for those who won't help themselves (welfare) and not included in that is the lovely illegal immigrants who get the same benefits as if they paid into the system. oh yeah, that's right those of us who have paid into the system don't reap the benefits just those who are too lazy to do for themselves and those who aren't supposed to be here anyway. it also aggravates me that someone who comes here legally also gets more benefits than that of a natural born citizen here. thanks bureaucracy.

I'm just glad to think that our schools are producing people capable of such intelligent, logical thought as this....
