I am still asking the same questions I asked 4 years ago.

[humblebum]

Why don't all Americans have access to decent affordable healthcare?

Why are we still losing so many jobs?

Why are we still bogged down in a never-ending war?

1. in a word, corporations. n/t

[tblue]

2. Yeah. It's so sad!!! nt

[sam sarrha]

3. to bankrupt the country so the Fascist Corporatist can steal the pension money an enslave us.. duh!

the Plutocratic Cleptoracy is in charge, the bottom
80% own only 13% of the wealth and 74% of the debt....we'r screwed.. they want it all..!!

4. You started asking those questions a few months ago?

When you joined DU?


Perhaps the better questions would be "why do you not understand why we are losing so many jobs'?

Why are the Ins. Co's doing everything they can to eradicate 'medicare for all'.

As to why we do not have affordable health ins....... DO THE MATH. Sick ppl are a profit. Caspitalism is all about the profit.



Why 'CURE' when we can "treat' for incredible profit.

11. I used to be

eagler. Came to DU in 2001. Left for a couple years. Couldn't get back in so changed my name.

[alittlelark]

12. Sure... cute.... its all fine.

I contacted a few friends - some DU some not.


It's not really fine.

13. what are you on? nt

5. simple answer

because the "haves" are in control and will remain in control until something serious happens in this world.

Will it take a world wide Katrina or Haiti to knock the rich off of their thrones?

What will it take when the "haves" being born today are told from the second they are born that they are the ones that will lead our country.

Mind you, these "haves" are no better than anyone else in this world except the have lots of everything and plenty of money and come from families that have more than one home and several of everything.

These people never serve in the military, that is something that the "have nots" must do for them so they can hang on to their greed forsaking no one.

In the end they will be judged, but what the ramifications of it all are is unknown to any of us now living in this state of chaotic greed. There are no jobs for the middle class and it cannot continue to exist as it had existed during my parent's generation. What remains is the equivalent of near slave labor for too many.

Asking for decent health care is not to be had by the "have nots". This is reserved for those with the several houses and cars, etc. These are the ones that end up going to fancy colleges like Stanford, Amherst, etc. No "have nots" need apply. Welcome to America.

Good luck my friend. We all need it.
