Great video. I doubt it will ever happen in my lifetime. The rich will always survive by drinking the blood of poor. When the world starts to die the rich just move to another rock and the process starts all over again.

This is why they dont pay taxes now! In order to achieve Reichs goals we must first concentrate on these two root causes of most of our countries problems. We must enact publicly funded elections or real campaign finance reform, and require truth in news. Eliminate the its entertainment loophole that Fox has successfully used to lie to us.
