The system is not designed for every american citizen. It is and was created by the one percent for the one percent. Doesn't matter if dimocraps or rethuglicans run the show. Whenever someone speaks up for the working person, average one that is, the terms like takers and socialist are used to denigrate them. The one percent must rule in ouyouyr system.....they always have. You also hear well if you are willing to work hard blah blah blah. The majority of the people I know work hard or worked hard.....they still struggle. That's what the system is about. The only thing a smart worker can do is become valuable and use that against their employer every chance they get.
