Welcome to The Third World:

Go to "Some Assembly Required" - please follow link.

Here's a taste: "Welcome to The Third World: In America, income inequality is soaring, states are cutting once-essential services like schools, fire and police services, public transportation and road maintenance and street lighting. Many corporations pay no taxes while sales taxes burden the poor. Infrastructure is decaying, bridges and dams are unsafe. Unemployment hovers near 10% and is unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future. The housing crisis has barely begun. Wall Street takes 40% of corporate profits. Public health deteriorates while health costs soar. And corporations now own the political arena."
