Out of touch with reality is where the majority of the American people are. Being poor and ignorant is very profitable for businesses, country/government and the wealthy. They all get their money from you! This is how the economic game is played based on you being ignorant and out of touch with reality. First! You must Understand the life game being played on you, that you are in. Capitalism and materialism are about making /getting your money by any means necessary without any regards for the victims/you. Crime amounts to over a $trillion-dollar business in this country yearly. Check this out! You buy your televisions; you buy your cable connections to watch your movies, you pay to go to movie theaters where actors and movie makers get paid millions upon millions of dollars from you. Getting over-charged is a story for another day. Televisions and movies are the vehicles advertisers use to get the word out to you about their products that make them billions upon billions of dollars from you buying their products. Were it not for televisions in your homes and you being ignorant as to the purpose of money. The point I am making is, televisions in your homes should be free to you the programmed Comsumers who makes everyone very wealthy, and you get nothing but deeper in debt.  We the people elect these poor politicians into office to represent Us, they get into office and forget their Oath of office lining their pockets with gold from whoever need their services. We the people buy tickets to concerts and support businesses as they make billions of dollars, and we get nothing in return. City programs getting billions of dollars to help the poor and needy, there are more poor and needy today than ever. Where is the money or accountability for money spent.
