You say these 100 million but i dont see them. Most of them are liveing in houses, or trailors or some kind of housing. Sure there are poor, but theres not a 100 million people that are in danger of starving to death. Most of the true homeless are in the citys. I think weve got a pretty good handle on the homeless population considering its not quite as bad as it is in Europe. Maybe these 100 million that I dont seeminly see hardly any of, vote republican because those are the ideas they agree with and dont vote purely out of self interest. My god what a terrible system.Come on, Guys. The US is a great country, but there is a lot of room for improvement. Politics is a major area. How in the name of God can any of these 100 million people vote Republican
The American political system is so stupid that I find trouble describing it. "Republican" or "Democrat"...for the love of God.
DO AMERICANS EVEN KNOW WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS? I don't think so
Rabs said:Also my political leanings started when my family was dirt ass poor, and I had just a single parent. My mom and I were living off her barely above minumum wage and we were not doing that horribly bad. I mean sure we had generic kethchup (which is nasty btw) but I didnt go hungry. Its possible to live off of it If your not stupid.
We got this stupid concept in America were like, you get what you work for and if you dont work you dont get much. So if your high school dropout, your gona be in poverty and the government shouldnt spend money to bail your ass out. If your late for work everyday and get fired, thats not the governments problem, thats your own lazy problem.In a country that spends $500 billion on the military, it is hard to understand how poverty can even exist. Fighting poverty is easier than funding a NASA mission to Mars or building stealth bombers.
How do you know a lot of poor voted republican?How can the broad mass vote Republican? A lot of poor obviously did
Thats your opinion. Maybe they just dont want handouts?People actually voted for a party that turns the screw on them.
Kinda like when a naton elects a genocidal maniac?This is either a sign of mass retardation or of a sadomasochistic temperament.
Oh ok. Were just so stupid over here we cant manage ourselves. We got to were we are in the world by being retarded.American democracy is a fraud.
Oh i know, its tragic. Every morning I wake up and repeat to myself "Hail furher Bush."The people are so brainwashed that they cannot understand the most basic of issues.
I dunno, who thinks this? I dont?Maybe I am expecting too much of a nation that believes the term "worker" or "working class" is an insult.
I dont get it. Sure some of our poloticas were born with a silver spoon in there mouth, but a lot more were born middle or low class.Or, that the common folk cannot rule.
We vote for those two parties to represent us. I dont get what your trying to say. You realize that all registerd voters in America can vote right?It is not rule BY two parties FOR a small elite.
What do you mean working class. I dont get it, a lot of our polotcias came from working class back grounds.A real democracy can only mean the rule of the working class. Why? Because they are the people.
Your right I dont, I swear alleigance to the United States of America. I generally label myself a conservative not a republican.You do not swear allegiance to the Republican/Democratic authoritarian oligarchy.
Chief Bones said:1. "You are advocating a Socialist State (or) Communist form of government...No wonder you are so negative about the United States. You would have us form a government where "the wealth is re-distributed" and there would NOT be a "free enterprise business system"!"
2. "...Yes ... there is a group of citizens that live below the poverty line ... however ... the living standard is higher for them, than for those poor that must survive under a socialist government in any other corner of the world."
3. "And by the way, our government is not a 'Democratic" government ... it is a Representative Democracy. That means that we choose others to represent us before our House and Senate ... we DO NOT cast a personal vote on every single piece of legislation that comes before our representatives. The NEVER has been and NEVER WILL be, a form of government where that happens. At least under our form of government ... "We the People" ... are allowed to choose our own leaders ... show me where that was true for a socialist government. YOU CAN'T."
Ollie Garchy said:3. The US is a representative democracy? Well, who represents the American people? The Sheriff of Nottingham? Come on. The existence of tens of millions of poor people sort of undermines the idea that any representation exists at all. These people do not have a voice. If they did, simple logic dictates that they would vote for candidates who work towards improving their position.
Rabs said:Also if you go these fixed poverty lines, China has lower poverty rate than the United States. I'l pass on that thanks.
You serious Rabs?? maybe it just refers to Urban poverty, since China has a vaaast rural population, which is a world apart from Shanghai.
