I don't hate America. I just want it to be fair. To treat her people better instead of like slaves. She is 15 trillion dollars in debt. Where did the money go? The roads and schools are a fucking mess. We have nothing to show for it. The money went to that 1% who pay little or no taxes. If I was a young man I would leave the slave camp called America faster than fly on shit.

I guess my life isn't bad, lived in America all my life, just got back from a 2 week vacation. Have retirement savings, a place to call home and never miss out on anything I really need. Times are certainly changing though and it's true you can not do with two incomes what people used to do with one. If there's one thing I know it's that you must change with the times, yesterdays answers don't correspond with tomorrow's problems. Also it seems that the people that are struggling the most in the modern world spend all day on youtube.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

That is a dumb argument. What about your parents and everybody else's parents ? We create our own reality and that goes for generations also. If you do not believe this then you must be heavily invested in the idea of material things providing some kind of security. This is an Illusion much like the vaunted ideals of Democracy.

I'm talking about being able to provide a roof over the head of your family, feed clothe and educate them to at least the standard you had and then watching them being able to have at least the same standard of living as you did.
The fact that globalisation has increased job insecurity, cut wages in developed countries and is continuing to arbitrage western labour rates down to Asian levels for the forseeable future is actually the number one concern of Americans. It's their number one concern despite a 24/7 media culture of trying to keep them terrified about something, whether it's Saddam's fearsome WMD or suitcase nukes or whatever.
And they're right to be concerned. Presumably you would like your kids to have at least the same opportunities and standard of living as you had. If the economy wasn't getting bigger then there's a concrete reason why this couldn't happen. But the economy is getting bigger, just the benefits of economic and productivity growth are going entirely to less than 1% of the population.
Future generations will have decreased job security, a large percentage will experience long periods of unemployment/reduced hours/low wages and there'll be a much-decreased social safety net for them to rely on to house and feed their families in these times. Are you OK with that or is this a dumb argument?

Crack X and computers seem to be dealing with a huge percentage of the young, can you imagine the speed at which our teen generation are going to start requiring advanced aged medical care?
We are heading for trouble just in that one scenario.
I swear the top controllers will eventually forge a street drug and release it and wipe a huge amount of these future liabilities right off the face of the earth before it comes to that point.
They are farming us for taxes and managing us through prices to keep their private enterprises ticking over and in the black. These young dudes are like weeds in the same farm and will send those resources into the red for a long time so i bet they come up with something diabolical to save their own a$$ or keep them out of the system.
More jails? Maybe more future off shore 3rd world countries used as a confinement areas for certain problems.
We have one for illegals here, they dont even make our shores anymore the problem is managed and confined on the way here in Papua for cheaper $$$$ and our political backing to who is in power at the time so they remain there in power.

The truth about America.

The sad part is working people are slaves and don't even know it. It takes a billion dollars to be president. Where do you think the money is coming from? It's not coming from working people. To the far right patriotism means to bend over and take it up the ass. If you don't then you are un-American.
