The unpalatable truth is we live in a failed democracy that has been co-opted into a capitalist neo-feudalism the massive gap between the rich (feudal lords) and the poor (serfs) is a defining characteristic, the war on the middle class by large corporations outsourcing production capabilities to China has destroyed middle America and the foundation for economic stability in North America. Companies like Apple employ 700,000 Chinese workers and maybe 35,000 American workers. Couple that with a failing education system with rising tuition costs, an entire culture enslaved to corporate interests. Anybody who can get an education is enslaved by debt anybody who can't is enslaved by debt, costs of living go up wages stay the same. If you aren't already rich buy a helmet things will only be getting worse.
