The middle class is being made poor and will disappear. We have to pay more than our mortgage for health insurance. We are forced to file bankruptcy to pay our medical bills. Our percentage of taxes hurts while 50% of Americans don't pay taxes. We have to decide to get rich or will become poor. There is a cement ceiling holding the middle class down from becoming too successful.
On that note : The rich don't care about anything but their bank accounts. California is in an extreme drought. Someone I know just signed a contract with a water bottling company, to sell them water pumped from wells off his property for $15,000 a week. The local's can't even use water without following strict usage laws , yet, this guy ( who already is immensely wealthy ) is selling water that in reality isn't even his
to sell.
Think either care that they could pump the aquifer completely dry ? Where is the responsibility ? Socially and environmentally ?

No one can deny that a lot of people are looking with unhealthy suspicion at any one who appears to be of a particular theological persuasion in the U.S. and other countries. And the same goes for kids wearing long, black trench coats in the summer. Goth rocker expressing themselves or nut job about to unleash hell?
Why are applications for concealed weapon permits rapidly rising ? Why have teachers in some school districts been granted permission to carry concealed guns ?
I've had two friends die within weeks of each other because of "
medical complications" - or as described by another friend who works in the medical industry, Medical dumps !
Medical dump ? Should such terminology even be part of our vocabulary?
Anyone who invests in the stock market knows that the market is artificially inflated, and knows it will crash, but, a lot of people still play away hoping the inevitable never happens. But it will. And when it does...
Yeah, I get tired of reading the seemingly never ending proclamations of doom. BUT, would I really be a skeptic IF I spent a fairly large amount of money and time on preparing for worst case scenario's ? I mean if I truly didn't believe...
