...losing our soul.

Unfortunately, we have a system in which the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. A widening gap between the rich and the poor. Corporations and industries aren't overtaxed by any means. Because they find loopholes in the tax laws. They not only shelter themselves from taxes; but they milk the government for tax subsidies. They hire lobbyists. Armies of lobbyists. To get their way. We live in a plutocracy. Not a democracy. Money rules. The more money one has, the more power one has. We are losing track of the common good. And in the process, we are a nation losing our soul. --Jim
