Well, I left simple greed off the poll.
I think to put any blame on working class Americans is to miss the target altogether. We're not the ones that gave tax breaks to corporations to help them move high paying jobs overseas. People that bought a house a few years ago could afford it at the time, the cost of living was lower and people had higher paying jobs. If our leaders cared about the future of America they could have done things to prevent this catastrophe, rather than enable it. Most decisions made by our "representatives" are made at the behest of corporate lobbyists who represent the move towards globalisation and the decline of America. I think blaming Americans for the absolute corruption of our political process is absurd. Yeah we're apathetic and lazy but that doesn't excuse the people with real power who are destroying this country. The move towards a world government is real, and the current crisis greatly helps those who wish to slowly implement it, step by step. The next step is a global economic governing power, and I believe you will see that being created in the next few years. The world government will be controlled by bankers and European royal families who wish to make Americans their slaves. If you can't see that happening right before your eyes, maybe you just aren't looking close enough.
