This is one of the many reasons I try to get people involved in politics. When the US Supreme court ruled on Citizens United, they in effect gave corporations the right to buy off our elected officials. As long as this is in effect, our elected officials will continue to pass laws which gives corporations more and more rights and more and more tax breaks while penalizing the working class.

This is not a Republican problem. It is not a Democratic problem, it is a problem at every level of our government and I fear it has gone on for so long, the only way it will ever be fixed is for the entire economy and government to collapse.

Those that are debt free and can grow their own food stand a much better chance of surviving than those who depend on the government for food, rent, etc., etc.
