When will we wake up from this nightmare that consumes all of us?
From corporations that lie to our face and call it a carrier, to rising gas prices. When did we become so enslaved? In school today the children still learn about America land of the free. (Maybe only for the children who come from wealthy homes)
When did land of the free become enslaved by money?
The truth is that it's always been, like a small corporation it very loves to its employees until it becomes bigger.

FREEDOM - FOOD FOR THOUGHT
None are more hopelessly enslaved
than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1749 - 1832
....
"The bold efforts of the present bank has
made to control the Government....
are but premonitions of the fate
that awaits the American people should
they be deluded into a perpetuation
of this institution, or the establishment
of another like it"
Pres. Andrew Jackson
1767 - 1845
The last time the American debt was completely paid off, was in 1835 after Pres. Jackson shutdown the central bank and proceeded the Federal Reserve.
...
Become enlightened - watch a video of the Zeitgeist Addendum online.
Its so sad, tis sick.... the true terrorists of our world wear $5000 suits and work in the highest positions of finance, governance and business. However this selfish, corrupt, power hungry lot are not the true source of the problems.... they are symptoms.
...
Greed and competition are not the result of immutable human
temperament... greed and fear of scarcity are in fact being created
and amplified... the direct consequence is that we have to
fight with each other in order to survive.
Bernard Lietaer
Founder of the EU Currency System.
....
We can either have democracy in this country
or we can have great wealth concentrated in the
hands of a few but we cannot have both
Lewis Brandeis
Supreme Court Justice
...
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional
love will have the final word in reality.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
1929 - 1968

Do yourself a big favor, watch Zeitgeist: Addendum, by Peter Joseph 2008

You know, i used to think like that too, but if you met some of these men that work on wallstreet you wouldn't say that.
Most of the succesful ones making that cash come from broken impoverished homes. They worked hard through school, college, and then the social circuit that encompasses their lives.
They have no life they work all day and even into the evening entertaining others to keep them as customers. they miss out on life to make it, and as a result their personal lives suffer. Not to mention they lose lots of money on the stock market and business ventures.
they have earned that money and status in life. they worked for it, just the same as any other person who has worked and earned their way through life. If life was equal and even it would be boring as hell and not worth the adventure.
this is coming from a girl born in dirt poor home. you sow what you reap, and if you take the time to set a good foundation from education and a social network you can lead to great success.
Perhaps they should teach a class on becoming successful in life.
O and if you look through out history it is the same sad story. Partly why gypsy jews and jewish merchants were hated was because of the expensive spices they brought, cornering a market on peppercorn which at one point in time you could use to pay taxes and rent with in the middle ages.
Alexander the great wanted to conquest india for this spice amongst others.
muslims cornered this market because Mohammad himself worked for a widow that caravan these precious commodities, worth more than cold coral and pearls combined. which after he married her became the founding father to a religion as well as current medicinal uses on the herbs that enhanced modern medicines from middle ages up.
greatness is obtained by those who seek it, even if your motives are not what they should be.
