Republican said:First off Thanks everyone for the welcomes. lol I'm a Miss. O and the reason I'm quoting from Comrade Brian is to say hey I never mentioned living in a demcracy. The USA is a Republic. Yes the leaders are rich so what, I love rich people just as much as poor, living here under a Republic gives us ALL the chance to be rich, I for one am proud of that.
I don't have a chance at being rich, the more money your family/you has you get to go to better schools and such, so you would probably get a higher paying job, so more money for you, while others who didn't start out with as much money get left in the dirt, I'm sorry to say your expectations of capitalism are not all true. Also the poverty level is 15% and rising 1% a year, and 1%=about 3 mil. people, so there 45,000,000 in poverty in US, and the poverty standards need to be raised A LOT, and top 1% richest in US own around 80% of everything, and rising, and if everyone had a chance to be rich I doubt anyone would be in poverty. We are all Slaves to the capitalist system
