Embrace it, exploit it, abuse it, destroy it, feast on its helpless remains, and shit on those who were once in your position. How wonderfully capitalistic.

Only millions? No wonder they've no real power against their competition. Weaklings band together when the strong comes calling, and plenty often fail to match its power.

Soon we will see the end of child labor laws so that families will be able to stay off the streets.. we will see mandatory insurance payments with almost zero coverage, everything will have some sort of law attached to it and the punishments will be harsh unless you have lots of money. Most of the jails will be privately run for profit and their "prison profit" lobyists will loby congress to make as many things illegal so they can make even more money.
How about our prison population versus other countries?
It is obvious we are going towards fascism more and more every day
We aren't already there? Oh, we still have a fun little 'republic' for the masses to entertain themselves with while the real leaders of this nation remain in shadow? That'll be gone soon enough.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
