We get high unemployment while big corporation posts profit blowing expectations out of the water. I don't get it.

To this the answer is clear, IMHO, and that is while the top 5% continue to cash in and own more the masses are pretty much forced to turn to government for help or perish. This will then erode freedoms like we have never seen (because even in the middle ages people could ride horses or walk and live off the land till they found a little nook to farm, that doesn't exist now, there is NO place to hide that at the VERY least doesn't cost money.)
The media is working to destroy the Catholic church, Obama is washing his hands of Israel, the Muslims already pretty much hate us... so religion is being destroyed methodically.
We have given generations money to have families, no fathers and not work. Meanwhile, we have pretty much financially forced 2 income families and cut education and yet, expected children to achieve and be responsible. In essence we have destroyed the truest strength the USA had and that was family.
We as a society have been trained to spend on luxury and not necessity. This goes from the President's budget down (this has been EVERY president since LBJ).
We have ALLOWED industry to transfer jobs overseas and lower wages for the past 30 years, thus increasing the middle income family's need for cheaper goods, that again sends wages lower and sends more people looking for cheaper goods, lowering wages and continuing the spiral. We are about at the bottom of the spiral and like a whirlpool that forms in your bathtub sucking the water down the drain, we ain't getting back out. Next stop is total freefall.
The people with money, that top 5%, have bought houses outside of this country and are prepared with security gates and little fortress houses. Ever see the floorplans they released for Gates' home where he has built into a mountain his sub floors and supposedly has it more secure than Fort Knox.
In other words the extreme wealthy KNOW there is a crisis coming that will rip this country into revolution and anarchy. That's the one part in all this that has failed (because I believed this financial freefall has been planned for a long time).... government's failure to get gun control. Otherwise, it's perfect. The press has played well into getting people to believe there os no hope or way out, the government has done everything they can to prevent spending on necessities (infrastructure, education, jobcorps, etc.) and maintain opportunities and corporations were able to merge or use hostile take over to destroy good secure companies that weren't playing the game (RubberMaid).
So in the end government will have control over the masses, the ultra rich will have their sanctuaries. And in their minds the world will be orderly. Meanwhile freedom and life as we know it ends.
