Yep. We are all prisoners or slaves in America. The Banksters and Gov't have financed a system of elimination where our lives evolve orund their "Ponzi Schemed" economics. Times in America will worsen. Its all about money. No compassion. No love. The "Banksters" will punish you for not being a productive citizen. They will takes your home, car, children and your life. Economics.
