It’s rather difficult to write about poverty and America’s welfare and the dynamics behind it all, since it truly isn’t simply as black and white as so many might wish for everybody to see it.
Today, here in America, one of the most advanced nations in the world, we find the American people trapped in an age-old recurring pattern of society, struggling through poverty and working while still barely getting by and surviving, in a competition and struggle over assets and resources between the various income levels – between lived suffering and abstract authority – between those who bear the weight of the system and those who most benefit from it.

It won’t take much of a hiccup to cause a massive economic disruption to be accompanied by extreme social upheaval and violence, especially given all we have witnessed from our illegal alien “guests” – guests hell – damned foreign takers and looters.
Think of the cattle auctioneer’s chant as a prayer. To the untrained ear, it’s nonsense, a stream of words compressed beyond recognition. If you know what to listen for, phrases emerge from the hum and buzz: Will you go four? Will you give five? The job of the auctioneer is to whip bidders into a frenzy, selling cows, heifers, bulls, and steers at the highest price possible through the power of constant supplication. 
Gold prices spiked in October, reaching a new record high of over $4,300 per ounce. And while they’ve declined slightly since that point, the yellow metal is still selling at significantly higher prices than just a few years ago.
