   We know very well that our collective wealth (tax dollars) have been   
   funneled to the few rich and powerful.   
      
   We even know how our own taxes have been used to move our jobs to foreign   
   countries, to let our education system and infrastructure crumble away, and   
   to damage our economy. But we're OK with this.   
      
   Think about it.   
      
   With our approval -- and this includes America's progressives -- public   
   dollars were pulled out of basic humanitarian aid (i.e., welfare) for our   
   poor to help cover the ongoing costs of annual "tax relief" (i.e., welfare)   
   for the rich/corporations.   
      
   The closest we came to outrage was a collective "Oh, OK." The more modern   
   nations find this stunning. But here in the US, most of us have been   
   thoroughly indoctrinated with the notion that the poor deserve nothing while   
   the rich deserve everything they can grab up. The poor are bad, the rich are   
   good. So, we might grumble a bit, but it's a token gesture. At the back of   
   our minds, we are thinking that somehow, the rich deserve everything they   
   can take from us.
