America is in a devastatingly dire economic situation because it has never tapped into the bountiful resources that have always had the ability to pull the US and its' economy from the miring mess it is in. The state of the US and world economies are suffering drastically because of the mess that the US governments' subterfuge and true lack of attention and effort has ultimately caused in mending the US economy. Government officials must stop ignoring the plight of Americans and the economy by finally assessing and collecting the American elite and their corporations their fair share in taxes from revenue acquired by continually raking in unwarranted and unjustifiable earnings, profits and wealth at the expense of America and its citizens.
The upper class has ensured, through actions, that their ill-gotten gains continue to occur (at the expense of the US and its' citizens) by putting in place imbeciles, morons, cronies and simpletons in governmental, lobbyist and news media positions throughout the US. With these positions in place, these elitists and their corporations have ensured that a blind eye and a deaf ear will always befall the American public as these parasites continue to bleed America and it's population dry. Stop to consider that the average American pays a staggering 35%, or more, in taxes on meager earnings while the upper class pays, on a generous average, only 17% (on a good day) on their excessively, ostentatious and unjustifiable exorbitent wealth, profits and earnings. And we all know that corporations pay their fair share in taxes - if you believe this then you believe in Santa and faery-tales too.
America's government officials, the upperclass and American corporations are truly the new age robber barons causing the back-breaking, country bankrupting, drain circling oppressiveness sending the US and its' citizens to the brink of disaster and beyond. Until these elitists and their companies finally pay their fair share in taxes, America and its' citizens will continue to suffer the short sighted "Me, me, me, me, me!", "Only my ill-gotten acquisition of wealth at any and all costs to the American public counts" attitudes these parasites and elected government officials embrace and embody. These pirate-ous profiteers have never been held accountable, nor have they ever paid their fair share in taxes in their continual pursuit plundering and raping Americas population and resources, all in their greedy pursuit of wealth.
Many Americans haven't made a rent or mortgage payment for lack of employment in many months while members of Congress blatantly ignore the necessity to extend UI benefits while giving the wealthiest few and their companies extended tax breaks. These tax breaks, on a low average, increases the individual coffers of the wealthy few by $200K more of unearned profits for each three million already in their possession - without having to do a thing their wealth instantly increased with the stroke of a pen by the President. Congress and these Robber Barons dole themselves this additional wealth yearly, while treating down-trodden Americans like parasites for needing government assistance for the mess that the government and the upper class have caused, and are continuing to cause without an end in sight. The 200K per 3 million dollars they've increased their income by each year is roughly 9 to 10 years of UI benefits for the average American and their family.
Consider the Great recession started in 2007 and as yet has no end in site, UI benefits, if your lucky nets only 99 weeks of assistance. Now consider that the Great Depression, oops, I mean "recession" has been ongoing for approximately 206 weeks and counting. Many Americans have been without any aid, intervention, or support from the US government for more than two years while the wealthy continue to reap unjustifiable wealth during this same time because of the tax breaks their friends in congress give them as freely as candy at Christmastime. Americans are becoming homeless and crowding our streets at an alarming rate while congress works to give even more wealth to those already living in complete and utter excess. While the average person is being told to, and expected to live with less the elitists of America and their corporations are growing and harvesting money trees planted and nurtured by the American government.
Many Americans go hungry while members of Congress and the wealthy never want from hunger. Many Americans don't know where the money will come from to pay delinquent utilities of the last several months while members of Congress waste tax revenue on extravagant, first class roundtrip flights in the US, world and their home states multiple times per month. Many Americans have applied for more than a thousand jobs over the last three years as unchanging unemployment holds the world economies in the depths of the Great Recession, while members of Congress and the wealthy refer to these Americans as lazy or stupid for not finding employment. Many Americans went back to school to gain new skills for this volatile economy only to find that when they've completed their studies in order to re-enter the workforce that Congress has made it easy for the wealthy and their corporations to outsource dwindly employment opportunities to other countries.
Many Americans feel the loss of hope, dignity, family and a lifetime of possessions because members of Congress, the upper class and American corporations robbed it from them while coldly ruining their lives. These Americans are our families, our friends, our neighbors. The current administration, congress, elitists and their companies have yet to recognize or acknowledge the crisis they have caused is growing exponentially out of control, all in their blind pursuit of unjustifiable greed. No amount of government generated propaganda will alter the measurable effects to society and the economy.
