Poverty (and the USA)

[ionnsaigh]

Yes, but none of the 14 would have paid attention because we all know that men never stop and ask directions

Excuse me please Bobbie, would you show a poor man the way to the White House.

[Sweltered]

He knows the way, but he'll be looking at Hilary's ar$e as he crosses the threshold

Och what a shame - she couldae answer.
No matter, Don't you think that the Clinton's have had enough power?. America is a big place.
What are the chances of say, a veil wearing poor working class Arab woman, becoming the next President.
Aye Freedom and Democracy.
O.K. if that seems unlikely lets drop the , veil the Arab, and the woman.
What are the chances of a poor person being elected?. After all- that it what it's supposed to be about - Democracy.
Democracy fails the poor, The rich have no problem, as they shout freedom from the rooftops. Drowning out the cries of the poor.
Nothing to do with democrats or republicans- or middle class liberals with the " Black Women " - we've never had one before mentality.
Democracy or the sham that currently exists both here in Scotland - and the States- bears little semblance.
You would willingly vote for a kick in the economic gut, one vote every five years, your chance to participate in the great lie. Och well the Democrat didn't win, never mind - democracy - gives us another chance five years down the line.

Exactly, much better to have a wonderful leader "elected" for life, like Chavez, what do the people need to own their own land for, when Hugo can take "for the good of the country". NO matter if you are rich or dirt poor, or if your family have worked the land for a hundred years, its ours now.....

[ionnsaigh]

Perhaps you have lost sight in Americas despicable desperate drive for control of world energy . What is the difference between a democrat and a republican, very little - a choice between the lesser of two evils. What you have in the USA is an economic system (capitalism) that remains elected for life. So perhaps a benign dictator may indeed be the answer to end mass exploitation of the worlds poor.
As far as land ownership is concerned, does it include the mountains, the rivers - you know natural resources stolen from the many by the greedy few. Private land and keep off signs, belittle our once proud collective spirit.
The vast majority of people who work on the land, don't own one blade of grass, even if they have worked the land for a thousand years. Landowners were instrumental in the clearances, and they played a significant part in selling our right to self determination, when licking English erse ( Act of Union ).
Up the big landowners, right up them.

[Sweltered]

No, basing my thoughts on an former colleague, who had to give up his job here in the US to go back to Venezuala to try and prevent Chavez stealing the land his family had worked for 90 odd years. He was not rich by any means.

It's not Hilly baby you would have to fear it's Billy's boys. You could end up shot in the head in Battersey (sp?) park and amazingly enough not have any dirt on the bottom of your shoes or be holding the weapon that you supposedly killed yourself with.

AHHH, Libs and Dems, they are SO open and honest................NOT

Rich enough to work in the USA, economic migrants unite, support the morally corruptible state- that collects unquestionable parasites that live off the labour of slaves.

You really have a backward idea of what this country is really like
