USA Why are you not organizing to take control of Money/Power/Wealth the common denominator?

The average American is too busy trying to make a living for their families to set up any kind of organization.  They are also too lazy to learn and realize what the Republicans and George Bush is doing to them.  It'll be too late when they realize they could have done something to make their lives better.

The reason for all our fighting is simply access to resources and perception of power. There is always going to be limited resources somewhere or another. People will always hoard in times of crisis, and will not think of their neighbors' welfare. Religious, cultural and racial allegiances will always be important dividers. Rich lands, poor lands, water, my pollution going to your country, my poor migrating to your country, my technology, your oil, etc. Who decides who gets to keep that? Several powers are entitled to it by one reason or another, so they'll tear it off each other's hands.

Unfortunately, we are getting a very unwelcome lesson in that right now, aren't we?\n\nI would say, the inability of the sources of help to get properly organized.  Add to that the inability of the victims to help themselves.  You end up with anarchy, lawlessness and dispare.

Big business runs this country. Money is what it is all about. Any one ever notice the rich keep geting richer & the rest of us are happy with the crumbs from their plates. As long as we are kept fighting amongst ourselves the rich will continue to control the wealth which is what this country is all about anyway.

you already are you just don't know it .the ruling class of the world has many people in many nations including canada so as much as they can profit from frenidly governments  and cheap labor is as much help as the people get. A basic infrastructure and education is needed to provide business with a stable and functioning labor pool to draw from . A basic rule of thumb is how much do i have to give workers in-order to recieve maximum return on my original investment. medicine is the first tool to arrive as saving there children seems to make them more greatfull and willing to be lead by corprate greed. so in a sense we you and me are all helping the world  become a better place to live in, slowly.all these bleeding heart liberals saving the world are paving the way for corprate take over no country we have helped has not been exploted for natural resources animal vegtible or mineral it all comes down to greed if you give a little you can get alot in return. Give all you want it always comes back to you .notice tax dollars pave the way for corporations in america and a new imaggrant labor pool is always ready to assume the lowest paying jobs so people who have taken advantage of the education and better living standards can move up the ladder never really able to reach the top in large numbers only so-many cheifs needed and lots of indians pardon my analogy no malice twords minoitys meant .

WOW! Now that's a loaded question. It all depends on who you ask.\n\nThe Extremely short, short answer: Money, Power and Politics.\n\nSlightly more elaborated answers:\n\n* Because we are trying to put an end to terrorism?\n* Because we are trying to bring freedom and democracy to the masses?\n* Because war is good for the pockets of American Businessmen?\n* Because the U.S. Governments wants to strip away American rights and freedoms giving themselves more power and to do this they needed to fabricate a war on terror?\n\nBut the most compelling:\n*Because many Middle eastern nations, including Iraq, have plans to switch their currency base from the U.S. Dollar to the Euro and this would slowly erode the worth of American currency essentially knocking us out of our vaunted place of power in the World Economy.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Truth to tell, first world (or what now are called the industrialized countries) are socially stratified just like societies themselves are.  In a society, you have the filthy rich and the dirt poor.  The filthy rich like to stay that way, so they offer "answers" to problems so they look like they're working for the people who need the help the most, but in actuality, they're not...they're maintaining if not increasing their power.  As you've noticed, the world is becoming a global community more and more every day.  The same thing has happened on the global level.  There are the rich, industrial countries who don't want to lose their power and influence.  Therefore, they offer "solutions" to problems which don't work...and honestly, weren't meant to work.  I have no idea what third world (developing) nations could do to better their situation, but they definetely need to stop letting the United States run their governments, economies, and such.  And this is coming from an American.  America is really doing its darndest to be the policeman of the world-trying to keep everyone playing on our terms, and its really starting to make some influential people REALLY mad.  Maybe if they'd all get mad together, something good would happen.

I doubt it. Americans are too lazy to involve themselves in something so strenuous as taking a stand for something. Just look at our anti-war movement; everybody is so apathetic that nobody really does anything about it. I can't imagine an issue strong enough to ultimately divide the entire nation in this day and age. Perhaps if people wanted to rapidly shift to socialism or something similar not seen in America before, maybe that will start something.

Your problem is the desire you hold for these things. Many people work hard for their money. They also value possesions. Seriously though none of it will be here in the future. Things come and they go. Better jobs that pay more to better cars and other stuff. Or, we may be just like the Romans and fall back to primitivity. Who knows? Just get your kicks while your here and try to just do stuff for everyone else. Give of yourself to others and you will find that friendships mean a hell of alot more than stuff or cash...

America may be the land of the free but first and foremost its the land of the almighty !!!?dollar  the pursuit of wealth is the driving force in America and the fact that people go hungry in a wealthy society seems to be of little or no concern to most Americans least of all its President who is prepared to spend billions on a war that he cant win and who i believe recently made a cut to  the benefits that the Vietnamese war veterans are receiving,perhaps those soldiers fighting now in a lost cause should take note.

Since USA people mostly care about money, the practice will stop when it no longer makes money for a voting majority, if snyone is rational. Since they are mostly nuts, i doubt they will ever get wise or tire of it until their own ox is gored. Ethics and morality mean nothing to this pack of wolves.

Attention:  Update...America IS a medieval fiefdom with a small minority of lord and lady plutocrats and everyone else either in the professional, bureaucrat or manual labor slave classes or the warrior cult.\n\nNo need for them to cut and run; after all, the oligarchy of wealth and power is in COMPLETE control of the situation!

Sadly, I feel that men control most of the assets in this country.  \n\nHowever if you consider children to be assets then Im sure women have far more control (legal guaradianship) over them.\n\nSo I guess in the long run you can say men have more assets as far as money goes, but women raise more children thus having great power on the future generations of Americans.  So its a matter of opinion to say who trully has more power/assets.

In the US, you have a chance to make somehthing out of yourself, no matter where you comes from or your socio-econimic status.  There is no aristocracy in the US.  We are what we are driven to be.
