  • Someone should send this video to Obama! Tag it with... Did you sleep good last night Sir? Because these people Didn't! How about some of that CHANGE we've been hearing about! Sir.

  • In the richest country on earth how is it possible that such places exist? How is it possible to get embroiled in an never ending war in Afghanistan that costs 2.2billion dollars a week and we have no money for public housing? How is it possible that a B1 stealth bomber costs $238,000,000 a piece yet, we mock those people who use food stamps. How is it possible that an Apache helicopter costs $30,000,000 a pop and we can't create a job for those who have lost everything. Is this America?

  • Blessed are the meek and poor, for the day is coming when they will walk streets of gold!

  • In 2005 I moved my business OUT of California. It was the smartest thing I ever did. If I had stayed there I'd have eneded up here. California is for the birds. What's ironic about it is that the very people here in this post talking about the rich and the wealthy in a negative way - they are the ones who voted for them. The wealthiest people are liberals in LA and San Francisco. If you don't want to end up in a shanty town, move from CA and stay away from liberal areas.

  • America is run from a "elite" what sucking out the land ! In the medias they say "America is a great nation"-"America is the best country in the world" ! The masses see and hear that the whole time and every idiot think "Im great"-"Im wonderful" ! In the shadow of that they exploited you all-america is maybe the most brainwashing nation in the world !

  • This is what greed does. If we weren't so greedy and dumb by spending cash we don't have, this shit would not happen, we are killing our self. and by helping people who don't want to help themselves we are killing our country and will soon not have the few freedoms we have.

  • @weepingboy3 It's really sad isn't it?

  • these people really need help.the state is only taking from those in need such as students ,homeless and elderly and giving ''PRISONERS'' food and plans on building new prisons when they shouldnt be there in the first place.the state needs to really need to do something and stop thinking about themselves for once.
