The function of the Department of Defense is NOT to defend the United States…
We all know that the United States is not defendable

The Function of the Department of Defense is to create and maintain the ILLUSION that the US is being defended.

This is true with many of the Departments of Government and is true especially in this day and age, in the case of the ‘American Dream”… The second Greatest Story Ever Sold.

This is where we have been duped by Wall Street into believing that Democracy and Capitalism is the same.

Well, it ain’t.

“Unequal distribution of income between genders, races and the population in general in the United States has been the subject of study by scholars and institutions.

Inequality between male and female workers in the US has decreased considerably over the last several decades, inequality between black and white Americans has stagnated during that time although not among other races), but data from a number of sources indicate that income inequality over all has grown significantly since the late 1970s, after several decades of stability.

While inequality has risen among most developed countries, and especially English-speaking ones, it is highest in the United States

While post 1970s increase in inequality (sometimes called the Great Divergence) has not been caused by a widening gap between the poor and middle class, but between the middle class and top earners, with disparity becoming more extreme the further one goes up in the income distribution

A 2011 study by the CBO found that the top earning 1 percent of households gained about 275% after federal taxes and

income transfers over a period between 1979 and 2007,

(although this number has decreased somewhat since 2007 as a result of the Great Recession THERES A JOKE!!!-THE “GREAT RECESSION” MY ASS.

From 1992 to 2007 the top 400 earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392% and their average tax rate reduced by 37%.

The share of total income in America going to the lower earning 80 percent of American households (also after federal taxes and income transfers) has dropped to less than 1/2 in 2007.

Scholars and others differ as the causes, solutions, and the significance of the trend, which in 2011 helped ignite the “Occupy” protest movement.

While education and increased demand for skilled labor is often cited as a cause, some emphasize public policy; others believe its causes are not well understood.

Inequality has been described both as irrelevant in the face of economic opportunity (or social mobility) in America and as a cause of the decline in that opportunity.”

I believe it is the one rally important mistake the founding fathers made when creating the documents we continue to use (or misuse) today with which to govern ourselves and the world.

Limiting the amount of money one person can acquire.

Tonite- right here in the good ‘ol US of A, millions of children will go to sleep homeless and hungry.

Romney’s wife has an elevator for her Cadillac

But isn’t it wonderful that we live in a society where you can have an elevator for your car!?

We should be ashamed of ourselves
