Capitalism is good for the rich. If you're not rich, capitalism doesn't help you. I'm not rich. At this point in my life, I'd consider killing the CEO of a pharmaceuticals company to be in self defense ( ... )

I just had it, and it got me nothing but more outrage. It'll steal the joy from your life. It's just anger.

Solutions are needed, not being pissed at your boss. Your boss is just someone else's employee who's trying to get the same medicines and gas and food. The hate doesn't get you anything but more hate.

I'm not talking about your boss, I'm talking about your boss's boss.

Whether or not things are good or bad, my point was, there are things you MUST do, or else you can be angry about it, and not have food. It's like,"Yeah, I don't like that I work for a money hungry giant. But the local, socially conscious places aren't hiring. So I either work here or starve to death." And the work is really not that bad!

I think there's just a lot of blame being put on individuals, but the reason it's hard to get medicine, gas, and a job is because our economy is tanking. There's WAAAY more class division in India, but because their economy is very strong, the average guy isn't struggling for his place like we do. Basically, you don't have to be angry at the wealthy in America, because at this rate, none of us will be wealthy for long--rich people don't have the money, it's just not there!
