you kind of have to ask yourself - "whose side is Obama on?"

81. There was certainly a pretense...

But from the 30s to somewhere until the 70s - early 80s, the government for the most part worked for the betterment of the little guy. There was still corruption and cronyism, but it was, IMO, a lot less prevalent. Today government resembles more a puppet of the wealthy class with a thin veneer of still working for the rest of us. They have multiple media sources now (something they didn't have in the past) to push the propaganda of whatever message they want to push, because the media is owned by the very same people that are corrupting government to begin with. This was/is part of the grand plan...propagandize the populace to a point that they think this is just the way things are.

The American middle-class is what made the U.S. The economic power that it is. The middle-class that was grown from progressive government policies post-WWII. It is this very middle-class that the RW looks down upon for some reason...and is currently working to destroy.

You don't have to go too far to see countries that basically have no middle-class. South/Central America is an example: Although they've made major strides in the last decade, most countries in this region are a stark example of what happens when a government is corrupt and embraces unregulated, hyper-capitalism coupled with fake democracies. 1-5% of the population is extremely wealthy, the rest absolutely dirt poor...and I mean really poor...the middle-class is basically nonexistent.

This, with what the RW is pushing us toward, is where the U.S. Is headed.

There is one thing that will turn this around...#OWS.
