People are realizing that some members of congress(allot) have been in congress and passed bad laws for over decades. I bet you don't even realize how bad it is here, there are reports in the news here that state police officers are killing citizens for no reasons. We realize our government is corrupt but for the time being they hold all the power, and the mindless masses that believe in them are just mindless masses. The harsher you treat your people, the more aggressive they become. There will be a breaking point and in the wake of economic collapse it will be soon.

When the money runs out, the government will put it's boot down. Then we shall see if america can hold true to its creed Home of the Brave, Land of the Free.

I hope you're right, but I kinda doubt it. The same corporate giants who have bought out our elections have also bought our media outlets and they're using those to control our minds. Look how many people actually believe the garbage spewed by Fox News. I suspect this is why they wanted to pass SOPA; they want to control online media just like they control the rest of the media out there.

Same corporate scam West Virginia coal minors suffered in the 60s and 70s and before. They would pay in company script and own a monopoly on the housing and grocery stores and by the time the employee paid all the bills with the company script they were broke. Legalized slavery.

Big business cant legally do that now so the loophole is to create an entire societal gap in pay to make the middle and poor dependent on them.

Interesting... I've been doing some research into the American labor movement... This is going in my notes for verification and details...

RE: Walmart employees on strike
It's the reason redneck shouldn't be a derogatory term (and is simultaneously the reason that it -is-).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
