How nice for you thinking of yourself.

For many in this country, $300.00 will buy medication or food or help pay inflated rent.

Sometimes, when I read posts like yours, I secretly pray for a severe recession or even a depression. This would make selfish people much more appreciative of what they have rather than being discussed about an economy they helped to create.

Watching the behavior of people over the past thirty years, my bet is on a great awakening for the American people.

When we decided to carry a large amount of debt to satisfy our desire for instant gratification, we sold out our financial souls. If we didn't learn how to live within our means, this recession will be very difficult. However, if we have learned how to live with less, we will survive.

Good points! Sometimes I wonder where those who were not alive during King's life learn history.

Where did you learn history?

The purpose of this article is to present the facts and not to shill for a candidate; we will leave that to Bill Clinton.

Neither Bill or Hillary can point to a time in their lives where they risked anything to bring change for anyone. They have spent their lives looking out for Bill and Hillary. Now they are using the same tactics they accused the "vast right-wing" smear against them. Does the word hypocrisy ring a bell?

This is something else the Clintons missed during their covering themselves during a time of huge change. As a matter of fact, there would have been no "womens movement" had Dr. King rose up and demonstrated we could use our own voices to bring change.
