Fuckfuckfuckfuck I hate donald trunp he lyk vladimir putin?

First, we are a long way from being a third world country, we are not doing as bad as the alarmists say. However, there is the issue of the decline of the middle class, America is still the richest country on earth, at least in terms of being the biggest economy,the big companies and corporations continue to make great profits, but it doesn't seem to "trickle down" much now does it? Back in the day, you could get good benefits and a decent pay as a factory or construction worker just as examples, other types of work too.

Somewhere along the line, the masters of industry and other "job creators" decided that they didn't have to pay the employees what they are worth to the Company, why not see how much work we can get out of them for as little pay and benefits as possible? That way we can stick that much more in our own pockets! And if you disagree, your a damn commie, its just how business works, deal with it!(this seems to be the current attitude, and it has been that way for a long time) The workers for their part, have lost discipline, no one wants to bust their **** on the job anymore, in part as a response to the lower pay and lesser benefits, but also because the American culture has gotten lazier,maybe life got a little to easy for a while.

There is no one party or individual to blame, although I do blame the Republicans somewhat more because their policies seem to favor the rich at the expense of what is better for working people, but some democrat policies are also not in the interest of the growth of the economy either. The housing bubble is a separate issue, but also took a tole on the economy, the roots of that can be traced to the 90s, when they started to deregulate the housing market. The Republicans loved it because they don't like regulations, the banks could make more money by offering home ownership to lower income people, the democrats loved it to because it might in theory help give poorer people a home and have the effect of creating more equality, it backfired on the nation because so many of these people were either irresponsible and could not hand a mortgage, or the banks took advantage of them and carelessly or in some cases maybe even deliberately put them in a bad situation just to improve their own bottom line.

The solution: there needs to be a revival of economic morals. The rich led the way in not giving a Shlit and they should lead the way in reform. First: the Industrialists need to start hiring and paying decent wages, it will be risky, but they should take a gamble on the american people .

Employees need to learn how to take a job seriously, work hard, not take longer breaks than you are supposed to (this is a big problem where I work),respect the company, be willing to learn etc.How to accomplish this is the hard part, how do we go from where we are now to a society that doesn't tolerate being a doosh? In doing this, the Government can play a role by rebuilding infrastructure. If they do this, it will save the country money in the long hall by having this, and in the immediate sense it will not only employ people but give people experience and training that they can then take into the private sector.

This is something that the left advocates, and I agree, but the right has a point too: you can't just throw government money at things willy nilly and wastefully, the Government needs reform in how it hands money, they need to hold people accountable and track the money, it is the people's money and needs to be invested responsibly or not at all.

Kind of. A lot of other countries are nowhere near as rich as we are and have far more benefits. People seem very afraid of what they call "socialism" but in socialism, the government has much more obligation to give the citizens something out of the money they pay in taxes.

Right now the government has very few means of reciprocating money in any tangible way to the citizens and is pretty much free to blow it on whatever the hell they feel like after they've done the absolute minimum. Our healthcare system is crap, our educational funding is crap, and we've blown an inhumane amount of money on a retrospectively pointless 10 year long war which we're still technically in. I honestly wish more of the occupy wall street protesters were articulate enough to complain about the billions of dollars of taxpayer money the government just gave to the banks as a reward for their own incompetence with little to no strings attached.

Instead they were just like "YEAH F*** RICH PEOPLE." Basically the money is there, the problem is that we have a government that doesn't know (or care) how to reciprocate money in a way that benefits its people and uneducated citizens that want to have their cake and eat it too while they're currently doing neither. The government is full of people who don't want to fix the problem because that would cut into their "do whatever the hell you want with this" money, and the uneducated masses are so afraid of the word "socialism" that they demand that we don't get socialism level benefits even though we pay socialism level taxes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
