The anger you are expressing has been noticed by the 1% upper class. So they are building moutain hide aways and luxury condos in missle silos stocked with guns and provisions for when the pitch forks come.

The middle class is disappearing and those at the bottom suffer the most. Wall Street, corporations, and the super rich own our political system. None of this is changing any time soon. Political campaigns are full of empty promises. |
More disappointment than anger. Capitalism is still the best system for progress; but left unfettered without a strong, shared morality, it will destroy society just as badly as any socialist or communist system...the end result's the same - the elitist class hosing everyone else. ...and don't let me imply union leadership is more moral than corporate leadership as they negotiate deals "on behalf of the workers" while they collect very nice wages and fringe benefits for themselves.
