US is the RICHEST and GREEDIEST country ill say that. greed is the answer to all that you all are speaking on. because yes this country WAS founded with great intentions to be the BEST country in the world. just like a company might begin, with talks of treating the employees with equality and respect, and all with great benefits and rights galore...until that is of course the power and money and respect started to build and those with all those possesions couldnt control the human nature most of us hide. they started to ignore the "good" instilled in most at the time by religion...the fear of god and all. the ones whose pockets and mansions grew ignored their ever growing smaller conscience yelling in their ears. eventually over time...the snowball's grown. and those with power, are still in control. is this a "free" country...well yeah in the ideas of its structure...but nowadays can we really say the "structure" of this country is good. we vote...but is it really us that is heard? when you go to the store and something is free...you dont gotta pay the person behind the counter any $ right?...well then why do i gotta pay so goddamn much to live in this country if its a free country? yeah it's one of my personal motto's to say it could always be worse...cause it could. but dont let that really blind you from whats going on, distract and let you enjoy yer day? sure...but dont be fooled...nothing in this life is free, especially not the american people...we are all controlled, and if you dont see that? well than congrats modern-day uncle sam...yer winning!
