...in the way that I did.
If you have lost faith, like I have....in a "system" that in the best of times, experiences 45 million without health insurance and the bottom 20 percent with no "net worth", while the top one percent holds 30 percent of the total wealth,
and is a "system" that experiences large spikes in inflation and, that, twice in the last 75 years, has featured a decline to 1/5....or less of the recent high valuation of one of it's major stock exchanges, along with high unemployment,
and has produced, in the present decade, an increase from $300 billion annually, in defense and intelligence gathering spending, to more than $700 billion presently.....as it "unwinds" huge numbers of formerly wage and benefit rich "union" jobs.....
.....while the large majority of my countrymen describe that system as the "American way of life", and accept, as a given, that this is a universal belief,
where is the "poltical division", and the "left" vs. "right" "divide" that you condemn as unproductive? Where is the "left" portion of the partisanship that you want to diminish?
