First of all, I'm getting a little aggravated by all the anti-American threads floating around these days. We're not the only country in the world
with these kinds of problems. The rest of the world needs to wake up and realize that we're not all that anymore. This isn't the 50's. This is 2012
and economies are more global than they ever were. Maybe once upon a time we were the richest and most powerful, but not anymore. We ( our
government)treat our underpriveledged like crap while we go around the world militarily bullying everyone else. Don't get me started about how screwed
up my country has become because I'll throw sh*t at you you can't understand.
Do you have any idea how many coporations have moved their operations from here to other parts of the world for cheap labor and bigger profits? Do
you have any idea how many companies that are left that will hire illegals instead of legal American citizens for cheap labor and bigger profits? Do
you know what happens when you combine those two facts? A welfare nation, that's what. We're not the richest nation on earth. The companies that use
the USA for mailing purposes are the richest entities in the world because they have our government bent over right where they want them.
Wake up. What makes you think we're the richest country in the world? The corporations have the government by the family jewels and, if you notice at
around 2:15 in the video you posted, the boy said that he goes to bed hungry a lot. Then in the next sentence he goes on to say that his mother is
pregnant

They can't feed the kids they have yet they're having more? It's ignorant parents and greedy politicians, who are in the minority of
the general population BTW, that shine a dirty light on the rest of us. And it's the media that shoves that 10"inch record towards people like like
you, and you swallow it whole. Gullible isn't the word I'm looking for sweetie.
You combine our government with irresponsible parents who couldn't take responsibilty for their own actions if their lives depended on it and this is
what you get; kids eating rats. Come over here and I'll show you the conditions that our Native American population are forced to live in. You'll
leave swearing up and down that you're in a third world country. And you'd be right. You know those kids in the video? See how how there school has
electricity and running water? I'll leave it at that. It's sickening to me that we do this to our own. That last thing that I and people like me need
are people like you who don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. You spout off about "The USA does this..... The USA does that..... and you
just don't know. You don't have a clue.
Zip it up Bubba, your ignorance is showing.
