Economies and communities are plundered for profit. Financial bosses are more powerful than standing armies. They take full advantage.
Detroit is ground zero. It reflects what's wrong with America. It exposes predatory capitalism's failure. It represents the worst of what's coming.
Ordinary people are out of luck. Greater pain and suffering will follow. Democracy's nowhere in sight. Monied interests matter most.

America's criminal class is bipartisan. It conspires with Wall Street crooks. It's allied with other corporate favorites. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter.
Ordinary people are marginalized. They exploited. They're entirely left out. Their lives are wrecked. They're deprived of enough to live on. They're heading for neoserfdom.
