I'm getting old and I can tell you every decade has only gotten worse for more average hardworking people as time passes by. Nevermind anything you were told by the media or in school because it just isn't true at all. The rich always get richer and the overall general population gets poorer. It is a gigantic ponzi scheme. If you are making good money you got to be smart and in many ways selfish as fuck. That is just about what it comes down to. Every motherfucking politician is in on the take, every fucking one of them. You seek ethics and moral in life? You can find plenty of that in all the poor, run down and forgotten places. You will never find that shit among the "higher classes" of today's society. People are willing to eat you up and spit you out. Now when you take that to atone and modify your view of life itself, you might someday say "fuck it, it's over anyway" and start doing what is right for you.
