Poll question: Which of the following is the worst problem for America?
I know many of you will say that other problems are worse, but of these, which is the worst.

1. The first two are more immediate, but the 3rd is arguably the cause of the 1st two.

2. Concentration of wealth allows for
buying of the legal system, ergo corporate personhood.

And the wars also lead to the concentration of wealth.

6. I believe the concentration of wealth leads to the wars
or more precisely, the wealthy want the wars because war serves their interests

3. Of the 3, Concentration of wealth...
But that doesn't mean they are really the worst problems facing America. Since Concentration of wealth is a contributing factor to the other two, there is no contest.

7. Regulation isn't going to cut it at this point. As we can see, "reform" bills move
through Congress and end up having only a title.

8. People who want to identify "the worst problem" and ignore the rest.
;-)
