I'm 43. I grew up poor in the south. I've been watching this happen my entire life. Those of you that think this can somehow be fixed, you're where I was 20 years ago. Talks of change and revolution and power in the hands of the people has been around for about as long as "we the people" have. We're to comfortable, by design, in our misery and outrage. We will not give up our meager comforts to show the people in power we're tired of it. The revolutionist mindset is fostered by the ruling class, knowing full well we're all too complacent, afraid and just comfortable with it all to challenge their rule.
