       It's been quite awhile since anything of value came up on the
       Social Media site Capital X, aka: Twitter.
       This was sent in by a reader who is also a good friend... and
       maybe one of the BEST explanations of "what's wrong in America"
       in maybe the most understandable way that could be imagined... a
       grain of rice. Follow the link, turn up the volume, it
       enlightening.

       As long as the "ubber rich" can "buy" American votes with false
       promises of "helping those voters", NONE of us will ever have
       more than a single grain of rice... and those "rich folks" will
       ALWAYS be looking for ways to get their hands on our piece of
       rice. Politics itself has become the biggest abuser of
       Capitalism, and the struggle is those in the "red" vs those with
       plenty of GREEN.
       Didn't we learn anything from "Old Man Potter"? What has
       happened that greed is now disguised as "good business
       practice".
       Politicians keep talking about "term limits', maybe what should
       happen in Politics is that delegates should have an INCOME CAP
       based on the aversge income of districts they serve.
       Maybe this answers the age old question in American Politics...
       Q: Why are the most wealthy Americans ALWAYS against paying more
       taxes?
       A: They might have to give up a few pieces of rice... amazing.
