The truth of the world

HAY GUYS! I'm in America! Theres all these weird people here. They're all trying to like work and do stuff. And every day they walk around to useless jobs which pay hardly
anything due to the gov stealing half their money and then corporations stealing the other half! BUT THEY KEEP WORKING ZOMG WTF. I stopped one on the street and asked him why he kept working if he was just working to make other people rich. but he was like "Dude, if I dont work i'll starve," because while speech is a right, barely, apparently staying alive isn't. So i was like, what kind of fucked up place is this!?

The problem is, is the artificial standard of living REALLY costing that much because it SHOULD or is it costing that much because of corruption and other practices that need to be done away with?

And really, if you dont have TVs and cars and stuff like that, you're considered poor. So are the middle class citizens scrambling to try to act like theyre middle class when they're not, or is the middle class shrinking and having to work harder to stay in the middle class?

And the teachers are sometimes at fault. For one thing, there should be no "busy work," as you get absolutely nothing out of it. As far as things like history, students are taught too many little trivial details that they forget in a year. Instead, they need to pound the general eras and ideas and such into the kids' heads so they don't look like idiots when they don't know the difference between a communist and a socialist or something. You can't make them memorize a huge amount of minute details but the general specifics can be hammered into their heads.
