Yes, simply terrible. Generations of people, hopless and suffering.

And American citizens, living in slums, for the middle to lower middle class who are living in a country totally dominated by capitalists. You don't have a future without cash. No college without money. No life without money. It's repulsive.

Thousands of Americans have hopes, dreams, plans of a family and a future. So few of them will realize this dream. 50% if not more marriages end in divorce and the country is in economic turmoil. This shouldn't be. America is the wealthiest country in the world, and yet we're not the lowest in polution, police brutallity or whatever. We're high in poverty, unemployment, everything. Why? Because we have an idiot for a president.

So badboy, FDR was anti-American?
This is such an ignorant statement that it's hard to find where to start.

Back when our country was founded, and onward until the dawn of higher technology, people had to WORK to make a living, whether it be immensly difficult farming or putting in 14 hours a day in a thread factory for 10 cents an hour.

If you claim a great many Americans are struggling in poverty, wake the fuck up. Life today is NOTHING compared to how it used to be. You cannot be denied health care. Almost all people have food or housing or at least access, and there a great, great many government programs to help you if you need it, as well as numerous charities. People do NOT have it hard at all.

I know that my ancestors, when they came here, did not sit around bitching about how the rich people dominated everything and crushed their puny dreams. They worked their backs off farming, and even though they weren't rich possession-wise, they supported themselves and their family through their efforts.

I'm tired of hearing all this childish complaining about how life is so hard. It ISN'T. Take a trip to someplace in Africa. A majority of people are HIV positive, there is virtually no employment and disease, death and poverty are the norm. I would say they have it bad. If you live in a house, have food and medical help, it's sufficient.

And you know the good part about capitalism? You earn how much you make. My parents have already told me if I want to go to college, I have to pay it off myself. I won't get any assistance from them. How will I get the funds I need for this? Working. Even if it is just McDonalds. People should really give it a try. If you want an education badly enough, you will find a way to pay for it.

But I suppose it really is Bush's fault. After all, he's so stupid that he's driven the US into a pile of festering garbage and poverty in four years, right?
