Great job jamie

Oh poor daddy. Give me a break!

Today I watched a guy searching through trash cans and a dumpster. THAT'S depressing. And I see that more and more.

Greedy scum have taken it all. The economy is broken, but the richest are STILL making hundreds of millions. This can't go on much longer.

REVOLUTION IS COMING!

HEADS WILL ROLL!

As a person without alot of money, I cant stop thinking about all the things I could do to improve the standard of living if i only had the money!

WOW.....ALL THAT MONEY AND JANIES DAD IS AN IDIOT.......NOT A SPIT OF DESIRE TO HELP ANY CAUSE???? MAYBE WHEN HIS DAD DIES AND HE HAS TONS OF MONEY JAMIE WILL HELP WITH SOLUTIONS. UNTIL HIS FOLKS DIE JAMIE WILL APPLY SOME OF THE SOLUTIONS. ONE TO START WITH WOULD TO STOP ALL THEIR COMPANIES FORM ANIMALS TESTING AND ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS IN THEIR PRODUCTS.......

I think Jamie's mom is older than Jamie's dad, Mr. Johnson.

Here's a solution: less power to the rich and more power to average person. We know that that the richer gain more political power as their wealth grows. There's nothing wrong with wealth, but the mega-rich have the time and resources to get what they want politically.

I'm 63 and learned about how the system is rigged for the rich 40+ yrs ago in the antiwar movement. I started paying taxes at 16. Worked myself through college. I was a carpenter for 20+ yrs. I was also a high school teacher. I've been a advocate of democratic socialism all my adult life. The ruling-class doesn't give a damn. The politicians are their whores. We're headed for complete collapse. I'm on survival mode, on the island of Kauai. WORKERS UNITE!
