a dysfunctional society breeds dysfunction. This economic system pits people against each other in the quest to be a profit leader and be top of the heap. Money may not "trickle down" but the stress from all of that sure does. And now we are at the point where there are only a few at the top (like the Koch's, the Walmart family, even Zuckerberg and his fabulous foundation) that so many are struggling with just making ends meet (and sometimes not succeeding with that).

Something has to give. We are seeing the shootings, we are hearing about white blue collar folks dying, and our infrastructure is crumbling.

This country is a mess.
