Economic Class System in the United States

Apparently I was very bad when I published an article on Helium.com, because they out and out deleted it.  Say what!  Just because I said we have always had a class system in this country and the Native Americans were the first group of stompees chosen by the founding fathers. 

I prefer a more truthful analysis than the history books offer, so here it is again.

Class System Collapse

I'm right back where I was four years ago.
1. System doesn't work, it's time to share the wealth.  Tax the poor, but not the rich?!!
2. Drug war is a waste of time and money - duh, it's not working.
3. Why on earth aren't George W. and his crew being prosecuted for gutting the country?!

US Class System Collapse

The United States is possessed of a class economic system, which does not work. Now that it's finally and completely collapsing, maybe it's time to get a new system rolling, one that's a bit more equitable for a whole bunch of people, and not just the chosen few. It should be fairly obvious to everyone that the class system doesn't work. And the United States has had a class system going since the get go. The words freedom for all are just that, words.

Should bonuses be paid to executives in bankrupt companies?

The creditors have not been paid and the cash flow is backward, that is after all, what bankrupt means.  The company can no longer operate as before, that is why they are asking for legal protection from creditors.  Should our corporate sponsors then about-face and reward themselves?  Hell, no!  Any sane person would not think so.  For this question to even rear its ugly head is a blasphemy; and the system exposes itself to be deeply corrupt and very arrogant.

Inflation in the US

The United States economy is precariously balanced on the price of a gallon of gas.  Heating, cooking, and driving are all dependent on this factor, the price of a gallon of gas.  If the money boys could figure a way for people to eat gas, they would be thrilled.  They have to make do with profits on fuel and heat; and those profits are huge.   Of course the price of food is bitterly attached to the transportation cost of goods.

How to best recycle plastics

Plastics come from petroleum, our favorite source of non-renewable fuel. How many strikes is it going to take for petroleum products to be banned? Oh wait, right, we can just wait until they run out naturally. The drastic far reaching dangers inherent in ignoring this problem are stupendous and plastic is the most visible symbol of it all. Extracting oil from the earth costs a fortune, takes a toll on the earth and the animals, affects earthquakes and assorted weather phenomena, and pollutes the air, the water, the earth. And now it has to take responsibility for the huge garbage pile of plastic the earth is becoming.

Making high-speed rail a viable solution

High speed trains should have been a fixture in the United States years ago. Now that the government is offering more incentives for this purpose, there is no reason not to. The United States is the only highly civilized country that has no high speed trains. The reasons for this are political and corporate in nature. The low- level hostility between Amtrak staff and passengers trickles right on up through the channels of governmental and corporate entities.

The rich get rich faster: The poor get rich slower

Everyone has to pay a bit in order for society to move on, grow, and evolve into a better society.  Development of all forms is essential to life. However, the poor by their very definition are stagnant.  Their growth is likely to be on the loss side, whether in terms of health, education, or employment. They sink to the lowest dregs of the bottom of the barrel.  Here there is no room for movement, very much like the fact that the elite really have nowhere to go to get away from the rest of us.  It behooves them to play nice.
