Americans are Stupid and Lazy

Why do I say that? Because the general populace stupidly continues to support thecorporate/political establishment, in spite of;

-An unemployment rate of over 20%-A devaluing dollar (loss of 33% in value since 2002)-A widening gap between rich and poor (biggest gap of any industrialized nation)-A falling wage base (adjusted for inflation, the average wage earner makes less than he/she didin 1970)

You are stupid because you keep letting Big Business and the politicians rip you off and plunderthis country for their own benefit. Consider this; While profits for all types of industries havesoared to a 25-year high, employees' wages and living standards are actually backsliding. Themedian salary for a full-time worker is $475 a week, down 1 percent from a year ago and 4.6percent below its 1979 level. Median family income dropped 7 percent, from $39,696 in 1989 to$36,959 in 1993, while the stock market rose almost 50 percent over the period.

So yes, my fellow Americans, you are STUPID!

And you are Lazy because you continue to listen to these politicians who spout lies and offer youbroken promises. Government no longer represents the people. There is only one political partyin this country now, and that is the party of the rich and powerful, the ruling class. As GovernorGeorge Wallace said in 1968, "there ain't a dime's worth of difference" between the Republicanand Democratic parties. Both the Democrats and Republicans are controlled by Big Business.Heck, even a few of the politicians have slipped and admitted as such publicly, on camera!

Americans, you are lazy because you dont get off of your obese butts and find out what is goingon. You listen to the main stream media for your news and information, which by the way iscontrolled by who? Big Business! In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all newsmedia in the U.S. Today? Only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's NewsCorporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of themedia industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

Americans are stupid and lazy because they sit around, moaning about how bad things aregetting, but offer no solutions on how to fix our screwed up country. Or, there solution is to cryand wail about what the government is going to do. The answer is the government is not goingto do squat. The US government is controlled by a ruling class elite, and all they are interested inis making more money, getting more power, and taking care of themselves. They are not going todo squat for John Q. Public. They could care less!

Well, I am not lazy and I am not stupid. You want a blueprint to fix whats wrong with America?And, no I am not one of those tea partiers that want to do away with government. That is NOTgoing to happen people. I am also not some survivalist that wants armed insurrection. That playsright into the ruling class hands. They already have camps set up to lock people up who try to gothat route. But there are changes that can be made, if enough people get up the courage to take

action, and kick the ruling class out of office.

But replace the ruling class with who, to do what? Here is my blueprint for change. You mightdisagree with part, or all, of this blueprint. You might call it prejudiced, or unfair. That may be.However, my goals are the following;

Get corporations and big business out of politics and control of our nation back into thehands of the people.

Jumpstart massive job growth for US citizens

Blueprint for change:
