Share the Wealth!

My question is why dont people such as 40 billion dollar Bill Gates, 37 billion dollar Warren Buffet, 22.5 billion dollar Lawrence Ellison or 17.8 billion dollar Jim Walton and family help us get out of this economic crisis? I know this is very democratic and they worked very hard to earn their money buttttt y cant they help our country when we need it? Bill Gates for example, made approximately 300 per second.... doesnt he want to help this country?

More "California Love"


How can people be so focused on a war in another country when we have so much war going on in our own? Everyday gang members fight for power, money, drugs and their lives. In 2001 53% of the homicides were gang related violence. These people don't know each other.... for all they know they could be related. Their minds are not on anything but killing and not being killed. These gangs reach out to anyone in their community because they want to be the most powerful. These gangs reach out to kids as young as 12!!!!! Can you imagine being in sixth grade and being scared for your life because kids around are in gangs and doing drugs? Gang violence not only affects the gang members but also the children of the members and the community which they live in. These parents are putting their children who they "love" in danger everyday. If they died who would be there to support them feed them grow up with them? Gangs are affecting the communities because they are putting drugs and weapons into the hands of minors. With so many drugs and weapons on the streets how are you going to keep it out of the hands of minors?

Terrorism livin' in her the u s a

"The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects." (-By DEVLIN BARRETT and MATT APUZZO YAHOO!) Not looking too good for the supporters of Guantanamo Bay! This arises some serious questions of the Bush administration! This shows Obamas will to be open with the public on the things he supports.... This not only brings up the question of what where the interrogation tactics but also what did they find out? Was it something they didnt want the American public to know or was it they didnt want people to know of torture....
