Based on this, the vast majority of us hard-working Americans must be millionaires. I know a number of hard-working Americans, and the last time I looked, none of them was exactly rolling in dough.
I think the initial poster had it right; we have become a government of the corporations and special interests, by the corporations and special interests, for the corporations and special interests. The people have all but been removed from the equation.
It's time we stopped measuring a person's worth or value by the size of their wallet or by who they know. As an American, I think it's also time we stopped trying to dictate to the rest of the world and instead take responsibility for the things we've done to help create the mess the world is in today.
