How many billionaires are going to get millions when millions of families will be destroyed and thousands die?

The budget will add trillions to the deficit. But WHO gets the money? We know who looses. That is plastered all over the media. I want to know how many, millions or thousands or hundreds, "wealthy" are going to be given all that money that was taken away from among the neediest in our society?????

The ridiculously wealthy have no material needs that are not met a thousand-fold already. What they want - NEED in many cases - is power and compulsory adoration. They get off on believing that money and political power somehow ACTUALLY make them the zenith of human evolution, the alpha, the omega and the everything in-between.

American society is 100% centered around wealth worship. It is also collapsing into a cesspool of despair and deprivation and has "leaders" who are cheerleading the parade into the pits. All in service to the very upper echeleon of people who truly think it matters somehow beyond the grosteque creature comforts and nonsense they vomit out of their gobs.

TRUE greatness was when the wealth of the nation was used to do things like increase crop yields to feed the planet, capture technology to reach from Kitty Hawk, N.C. to the Sea of Tranquility in less than 100 years, when small pox was eradicated and other viruses put on the brink of elimination.

Buying a 5th fucking mansion and living in utter luxury, cocooned away from humanity is not greatness. Its pathetic. But we live in a country obsessed with stars and wealth and determiend to fool themselves into believing that its just another few months until they too will be livin that "Dubai-style".

It is no secret. It is just reality in a nutshell. We were on the cusp of becoming a truly great point in human history, but that gets further out of reach every second now, as gravity and the laws of reality 'conspire' to bring us back to a thudding collapse. So close....and yet so far away in the end.
