The top 1% of earners in America make as much money each year as the entire bottom 95% of all Americans combined. Just think about that for a moment. This really won’t work. And people are dying because they can’t afford health insurance. The crooks on Wall Street are back in the go-go business of Casino Captalism. The billion dollar bonuses have begun again.
The super wealthy are the people who own Congress. They have bought and paid for it. They are the same people who got the big tax cuts under Bush II. This reminds me of the terrible injustice and economic inequality that existed before the French revolution. It really makes one stop and take a big breath.
And in Congress the Senators and Representatives are behaving like drunken fraternity boys. What ever happened to civility, decorum, and good manners?
This is not the America that I grew up in. Something has gone horribly wrong. Did I wake up in a parallel universe or another dimension or something? Sometimes I think that this just can't be happening.

I wasn't raised as a Catholic, but let me quote Pope John Paul II anyway, "Capitalism, undisciplined by morality, will eventually self destruct." And here's another papal quote: "If you want peace, work for justice."
