what's the biggest threat to the future of the United states.
You missed the biggest threat to the WORLD. Over reaching US policies to enslave the world, and gut the freedom of the American people. Patriot ACT and the NDAA will be and has been used against American Citizens.
The US gov't has trampled the US Constitution and created an atmosphere for World Wars.
Typing this sends the Dept. of Homeland Security surveillance systems scouring personal information looking for American patriots that push back against the machine.
WE ARE NOT A FREE PEOPLE ANYMORE.
We have the illusion of freedom, and as long as the US Gov't thinks it's their job to keep us SAFE & SECURE....WE ARE NEITHER.
You're not looking past the show the politicians are putting....
Who is producing and paying for this show, who is deciding which candidates get their piece of speech (money, for you) that enables them to run.
Everything that you did not like about the government is what these wealthy elite has given you. They control the economy, the government, the media and just about everything. If you don't like what you see, government wide, you need to break the tie between money and politics. Corporations aren't people and money isn't speech.
Actually, to clarify. BIG CORP/BIG GOV are a giant life sucking machine. Those big corps got that way by big govt so it isn't one way or the other. You can say the corps own gov or the govt owns corps if you look at CAFRs, but they are just two diff sides of corporate fascism. Certainly the wealthy elite are playing their part for sure.
I have to laugh, looking at the lists, I think we may have created our own "extremists" list maybe we can have them all rounded up by the govt's own definitions.
becuz the left vs right, dems vs reps is a false dynamic. It is a side show to keep people occupied. The latest opiate for the masses. If we keep fighting among ourselves the uber wealthy continue to skim off their take and loot the treasury.
I did a search the other day of the uber wealthy's toys. The million dollar pens, the $300 million yachts, the trillion dollar homes.... Amazing stuff. In the middle of this search I discovered what might be the mist costly home on earth.
In the Swiss Alps they recently built a home, the cost to just build this thing was $15.5 billion....
$15,500,000,000 for a house. WTF, we have much of the world living in squalor and someone has the grapefruits to waste that much on an ego trip. Hope he has a nice view.... Would want him seeing how everyone else lives.
I saw the Perkins guy that built the $200 million Maltese Falcon sailboat yacht the other day. When the reporter ask what it cost to build he said he was embarrassed because it was built for ego and he knows the money could have helped so many....

Poor guy, he lost $50 million on that ego trip.
But, to you it is a left vs right thing....
Please provide a link to your 15 billion dollar home.

It's officially the world's most expensive home coming in at $1, 011,000,000 dollars or 630,000,000 pounds. Forbes has a great slideshow, an almost 'virtual tour' of the home here.

So I take it that you think rich people are our biggest threat, buzz?
