USA tent 'cities' on rise as US economy crumbles (23Dec11)

[TheMoonandSea]

The communists/liberals are killing off the white race. And white liberals still love them. Go figure. I get the paper which lists the "faces of the fallen" every Sunday. Those are the people that died that week in the middle east. They're about 95% white, and whites are only about 50% of the US population. Their jobs are being given to illegals and they're forced into the military.

[Halftrac]

STOP OBAMA NOW! WORLD TOUR 2012!

[Serkant75]

Fine country. The american dream. wasting billions of citizens money on wars in Iraq, but don´t care for its own people.perhaps they should try communizm system

[Serkant75]

reading your name-tag, i subscribed in a jiffy !

[IamPreTjenE]

You see no black people because Obama is allowing all of them to get welfare benefits and HUD housing!

[krallstello]

This breaks my heart..This country is no longer....evil elitists have destroyed it. Pray and pray harder....

[petro77vitch]

why do i only see white people here? i thought the black people where ''the underdog'' most of the time when it comes to having well payed jobs and stuff? it's not a racist tent party i hope?

[robpea100]

Yes we can said Obama, can what exactly? Fuck your ppl?

[iansuderman]

It seems many communities are trying to say these tent cities are more than an inconvenience to them. They feel it is an attack on their property values, for this reason they are chased away from common society.

Just why exactly is it so important to embrace God if your fundamental belief of how to treat people is so against Christ's?

[Mufaso1000]

Too damn bad; it's the fault of the dumbass American voters who keep replacing Democrats and Republicans with more Democrats and Republicans year in and year out. They get what they deserve. If they things to be different, then they need to vote differently. If not, they need to shut the hell up.

[jbrider555]

That last tent is incredible.

[mikecorbeil]

Do a Youtube search for Lakewood, or maybe Lakewood and "tent cities", here, and you should find considerable videos. There's one that's a documentary of good length, but there are shorter ones that are also worth viewing; some of them anyway.

[TheInnerOrchestra]

Guess relying on war (i.e., kicking the shit out of the rest of the world) isn't such a good business model anymore eh? Perhaps learning to save instead of spend will be a good starting point, along with a break in the 'We're Americans, the Best' mentality...

[kclaytor2]

What I would like to see the US like is that there is free land for homesteads, and no building inspections for building your own home. It would be so easy for all to have housing if we did housing like that. The land for homesteads should be big enough that a family could feed themselves with it. Some people would still want to work jobs and live in the city, but those who couldn't make it there, would still have a place to go where they could support themselves.

[hayden50]

Thank you Obummer

[tmriley04]

WATCHING THIS IS SO FUCKING HEART BREAKING! This is disgusting, something needs to change

[PersonalJesus348]

Hoovervilles

[thelumberjackjohn]

meanwhile obamas on vacation

[LegSpreader69]

Let me guess, these were some of the people that chose not to watch corruption but watch american idol instead? No sympathy here, America can rot for all I care.

[MyWordizBond]

it all comes back down if you look into history. this is why it ws meant to be like this forever...

get some lnd, a wife a kids and live from the earthly ressources.. there is enough land for everyone.

[warisbs]

"The American Dream"

Waking People Up And Getting Them To Realize That The American Dream Is Quickly Becoming....

"The American Nightmare"

[RamsesReturns]

That is too simple of an observation. This country never crapped on these people, people were ignorant about who they allowed to "represent" them and now we are paying the price.

[MuhammadDerkaDerka]

This country has crapped on these people, and yet that man still wears his American Flag tee shirt ! PRIDE

[woodbinedrinker]

Obama is going to put these people in FEMA death camps.

[Gump902]

They are getting ripe and ready for the FEMA Camps!

[yaahme]

O-BomB-er has a plan to BomB poverty multiple times with Humanitarian BomBs jus! weiner did to Libya and Now in Syriat like the Peace Prize Award

[capucchan8]

but I thought the recession ended in 2009

[FlankerVT]

you can thank globalism and bad government policy for all this mess.

[liarpoliticians]

@FlankerVT Globalisation is the fancy new name for Communism.

[udical]

@liarpoliticians of course, globalism is no chance communism with same standards and same no chances everywhere

[slavik4666]

@liarpoliticians how the hell can you come up with that?

[iraaus]

@liarpoliticians

Do you know even what is communism??

Do you think a communist will give tax payers money to the banks??

Communism does not work, but you are an excuse for what is happening, you are part of the problem!

[Knepperify1]

@liarpoliticians

It's actually The Tragedy of the Commons.

The Internet is invoking this worldwide.

The 'Commons' in this instance are your labor and pay rates.

Communism means common ownership of the means of production - that's not what this is.

[johauHAU]

@liarpoliticians communism still will always give you bread on the table, capitalism is what destroyed you country.

[Twisted86]

@johauHAU

Tell that to those starving in China. What destroyed our country is the lazy citizens who allowed a corrupt government to go beyond its power and bankrupt us. Had we kept our government in check we wouldn't have most of these problems. We had the good life too long and we took it for granted and got lazy.

[johauHAU]

@Twisted86 chinese arent starving, just those that have moved from the farms to the cities, china is doing much better than many other countries. and i think we both know that yur country was ALSO destroyed by the kapilastist gigantic companys that moved themselves to to other countrys. it wuld ahve never happened if the goverment would own all jobs.

[sahayneemoonbow]

@liarpoliticians that is a really dumb statement.

[XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX]

@FlankerVT When globalism via a schematic of Stalin's Russia ofc.

[krs561]

There are more and more of these cropping up all over the USA. Get ready folks, coming soon to an area near you!!!

[ktomasz999]

(WASHINGTON) The JEWS work more effectively against us than the enemy’s armies.

[edarotag84]

Get rid of the 50,000,000 "ILLEGAL" aliens and we would have some jobs

[areyouready22]

@edarotag84 That's not a bad idea but it's no where near the main problem. First our ignorant government needs to stop spending twice what we make, stop trying to police the whole world, stop putting shackles on American industry, stop sending all our jobs to China and stop the entitlement mentality sweeping and infesting our nation. That's what we need to focus on before anything else.

[bezant1971]

Ironically ,they would be better off during a massive social unrest in the cities

[rollingcube]

Give directly to the poor... not organisations!

[BeantownJim]

safety net???

[bobbygnosis]

I have been unemployed for over a year.

I am alive due to the good graces of family and friends.

When do we revolt against the Ayn Rand disciples?

[05121784]

@bobbygnosis

The job absence is a result of, not capitalism or freedom, but socialism and gov't intervention. You advocate less freedom and more government. Parasites steal from the productive peoples. That's why there is a BLOWN up mess!!

Profit is good! Wealth is fantastic! There wouldn't be any corrupt criminals not liable for their crimes in a free market.

Re-read Ayn Rand and afterwords, Murray N. Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market.

[bobbygnosis]

@05121784 You sound crazier than me.

[05121784]

@bobbygnosis Okay. Money is terrible. Hate wealth. Go ahead. Maybe that's why you don't have a job and you want a gang to steal from people who do WORK.

[bobbygnosis]

@05121784 I don't even know what you're talking about.

You're fucking nuts.

[anamericanstory]

Yes, we have been feed lies all our lives, just to support the corrupt politicians. People are finally waking up to their lies.

[TheZachary86]

its like the 1930s all over again

[Waterfall714]

it looks a bit fun.

[dave777blaster]

you ain't seen nothing yet ,what is coming in 2012 will fill the FEMA camps .

[humanills]

Don't believe the 8.6% number. It's actually around 20%.

[maximusTLP]

@humanills I think it was at 22 last time i checked, probably higher now, even here in texas its getting worse.

[humanills]

Need one of these in Sonoma county. Got the van.

[kcirdrab]

This is what happens when the Anglosphere Corporate sector & political class willingly liquidates its manufacturing economic base after a quick buck for itself

Impose tariffs on Oriental imports or get ready for a lot more of this.

[MetaReaLizard]

@kcirdrab Intelligent comments. I'd sooner just declare a state of emergency and start localised programmes of housing, energy and basic food production. In this day and age there is no reason why people in developed countries should be without shelter and food. It is an unnecessary draconian method of creating cheap labour supply. If the capitalists are willing to stoop this low then we need to step in and use our invisible boots to kick them in the backside.

[codownni]

They have done the place up nice.

[Alan7997]

Modern Hoovervilles.

[TheWelshie1]

Very sad ,i wish them all the best

[FreddyTheJumpingCat]

This is wonderful news! America had it too good for too long, and all based upon exploiting the rest of the world. To see America in it's death throes should gladden the heart of all non-US citizens.

[TechTVChannel]

@FreddyTheJumpingCat yes but you are hitting on the wrong people , these are just innocent people who have been smashed by the same capitalistic machine that is destroying the rest of the world , citizenship does not mean much anymore it is about rich and poor everywhere , what we would like to see is the banksters having to live in tent cities like these then yes it will be a nice day for all of us us and non us citizens

[dave777blaster]

@TechTVChannel you 'll be happy when everyone is groveling in the dirt?

[wakeup2nwo]

That's just one tent city, there are hundreds in the USA. There are people living underground in tunnels in Vegas city. Its been going on since the 2008 crash and is going to get much worse very quickly. The UK holds the same fate. Be prepared.

[JoshDG92]

@wakeup2nwo

how to be prepared?
