Olympic Conclusions

[size=1em]Your reply seems to accept that it is in evidence and has become a problem, but merely goes on to blame the architects of our misery. I care not who what or when, (for now) but I do care that it exists, and it must be addressed.  The immigrants are not a handy scapegoat, for the most part they are ballast.  You commented that the Empire had exploited their lands and alluded that they are in turn doing the same to us. Newsflash! Queen Victoria is dead. We can't be expected to pay the price. [/size]

Can't agree. My country, for one, was devastated by economic embargo (sanctions) during the 90s. Then it was bombed. Then it was given credits at high interest rate which I knew we can't repay. It is being done all over the world. Rich are getting richer, buying practically whole countries for pieces of paper, backing it up with military supremacy. Look at Greece. Germans offered to BUY a whole island in order to repay Greece's debt.

And it's all democracy. I get to choose once every 4 years between 3 or 4 same, crooked politicians. And they will all, no matter which one I ellect, continue to sell out the whole country. Once a country gets too poor, people look for a way out, for a better life. They have every right to do so.

However, this is not fault of any "people", or nation. It's all politicians and big corporations. They are above all that. The only reason people in the "west" are left to live somehow in high standard i so that kids of those rich guys could grow in a more-less normal, healthy society. Why would anyone pay 10$ per hour, when Chinese have wits, manpower and ability to do it for 1$ per hour if even that much. For a short period of some 50sh years, while there was a present threat of communism taking over private capital, ordinary working class were allowed to live lika some sort of middle class. It is all diminishing now, no reason to keep them happy and well. Hope I'm wrong, but in a decade or two, it will all come to poor working class and a few rich guys - globaly. Middle class consisting of judges, police and the army to keep it all at nice and smooth.
