Recently there are a lot of talks about how to protect Americans from foreign terrorists and corporate wrongdoers. Well, you can talk, but what difference will it make? As long as there are culture of egoism and distrust toward each other, the chances that the bosses and the rich guys will save us are slim.  People act only in their own interests. It is the principle of the American economics and law. The 95% of the whole wealth of the world is controlled by the few 5%. Why would rich banker or the owner of the global corporation protect poor guy in a bad suburb. The boss wants only one thing, which is the protection for himself. So, he lives in a nice suburb. He may put a security fence around his property. During the day he tries to avoid common people. He does not use elevated trains or busses. He usually uses limousines. He has an office with the opportunity to shut the door closely from the lower level employees. So, he invents myths that any motivated person can become rich. He puts this fairy tale in the media. Just read the newspapers, watch TV, listen to the radio, or browse the web. Nobody is talking about the huge salary gaps between employees. The gap is just getting wider and wider. The benefits and basic rights for the ordinary people is just getting smaller and smaller. Those who try to talk about it are shut down in the academic institutions, ultra religious communities, poor neighborhoods, and in jails.  Recently rich guys lunch another myths. They start talking about how united America is, how hard all Americans work in order to pull the economy out of the recession, how much Americans volunteer and give to the various charities. How nice. You are the exploiter of the working people; so don't lie to yourself and others that you are a good guy. Hashem knows who you are and what motivates you. You are a thug and a snob. Don't distract working people. Not Muslims and immigrants are responsible for the hardships of the ordinary people. It is you, Mr. Rich. Not only you cut their salary and benefits, you make them behave like robots. Who needs "Sexual Harassment" and "Violence Prevention" laws? You need it, not the employees. You paid for these laws and you got them. As a result people do not trust each other. An employee cannot say anything to anybody. What will be your next move? Replace people with robots and computers. It is easier to control robot, but it is not that simple. Cashiers are replaced with ATM. Blue color workers are replaced with robots and automatic equipments. The bottom line is maximizing profits, not the wealth of your fellow citizens. You make them go to shops more than they should do. Nothing is solid and durable anymore. People used to buy good clothes, furniture, houses, and cars for a lifetime. Not anymore. Consumers buy car every few years and clothes every few months. It seems that quality is going down, not up.  What is the recent news? Plane crashes almost every week. Car accidents kill hundreds of people every day. Do you care? Look at the weight of newborns, life expectancy, injuries, ills, and happiness of the common people. Do you care? Ok, you give .05% of your income to charities. Wow, how nice of you. Don't tell me that not you, but government should do more. It is you who lobbied government to do nothing. It is you who failed to pay your taxes fairly. It is you who made laws works for you. You made the government weak and inefficient for the people. The efficient police and arm forces from the government are what you want in order to control the unfortunate rest. Is there a hope in the end? You offer hope to everybody. You say to the guys, "Please choose religion or bar, and dream all you want." Choice between Coke and Pepsi is a bad choice, and you know that. What do I offer? Nothing.
