"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss." Karl Brunnholzl Capitalism is, or is soon to become a dying economic practice (system). The reasons are certainly many, complex, and interconnected. But the primary reason is that capitalism, particularly in the USA, has become entirely focused on increased productivity to maximize profits and increase shareholder's stake, ie increase the wealth of individual shareholders. Which means in truth, as well as in straight talk, to insure that the real (and obscene) wealth is funneled to and concentrated in the top 1 or 2 percent of the nation. When self interest becomes the driving force behind every decision, and selfishness essentially becomes a "virtue" as it is with folks like Trump, then the footing on which a society stands on begins to crumble.

By the way, I was having a discussion the other night with James over this very issue. he told me to have you talk with him if you believe I and a racist. He is a black man and a friend.
We need to come together and against both party they do nothing for the middle class but push them farther into poverty. The only thing that come out of a political debates is a bunch of promise. We know that the media and government used race to control us Gorges it has been proven that the gullibility of the average black and white person.Wake up its about the special interest group they run this country look all the money raise in this recent election. So go had keep talking and talking and nothing in the lives of people who are really hurting will change.Also the media and the blogs who got jobs they say they speak for the hurting american but also get money from special group. I will say this: Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are the same there is no different its about power and money not about the real american people who has follow the rules.
