In past USA history, a person could live in the mountains or on their land and actually survive. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, industries wanted to get these ppl to come to cities and work for them, so they lobbied politicians to create taxes forcing them to find jobs.
At that point, we did become slaves to our financial system.
But it gets worse... now, today, we have states creating insane things like Massachusetts just passed a law requiring their residents to pay for health insurance. That is crazy.
We have no freedom at all anymore. We are slaves of our system.
Everything is taxed and if we don't pay the taxes, they take our property.

Not slaves, we are victims of our politicians.
In the past, the news stories from India were full of poverty and starvation. Tonite I heard a news story about a new problem India is facing: obesity. It is estimated that 17% of India's population is severely overweight. That amounts to about 200 million fat people, which is equal to 2/3 the population of the USA. The story stated India is ill equiped to handle the NEW health problems this presents.
I guess Americans, particularly the unemployed IT people, can take comfort in the fact that Indians are getting fat off all our jobs exported to India by our politicians and big business.
How long before the news talks about the problem the Mexican government is having with wet-back Americans crossing the border to work illegally?
Americans, we are being raped by our politicians and the world. How much longer will we allow this to go on.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I am sorry to say there is no "American Dream" Johnny will not grow up to be President, hard work will not get you ahead, life is not fair, and yes we are slaves.
Everything you see around you has been bought with borrowed money. Everything. Every penny we spend is borrowed. It is not ours, it is Saudi Arabia's and China. They have lent us trillions. The pay check you get is not your wages but is borrowed money. The USA is $8 trillion dollars in debt.
Believe me, we are slaves, and if you pay child support it even gets worse.

What do you think.
Of course, but follow the chain up and you will see that Govt. is nothing more than a cream topping of Bankers and a filling of big wig Corporatists going from govt to CEO position and back to govt.
There will be alot of happy Americans when this system of things crashes and the field levels.

Yes we are. We are no longer a goverment by the people for the people. All politicians now are just self serving, overpaid pimps for lobbyists and special interest groups who should be paid minimum wage since most of them are millionares.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!Every day we are drug to work in our chains, Whipped when we slow down, Fed horrible meals and slammed back into our cages at night. Beaten when our work quotas are not met, and our children sold to the highest bidder! No ability ask questions, protest, complain. No voice in the government, no chance to elect the leaders we want by voting, and dissidents are shot every day! Stupid question
