AE#4 Equality

 Stand up to the Government was the major feeling I experienced while watching Moore's film. There was a deep depression strangling my heart throughout the movie, the working class has always been beat down, subliminal messages for years have told the poor their no good; once a thug always a thug, so to speak. Movies always depict the poor as dirty, uneducated, depressed, and forgotten, and every once and a while a kid makes it off the streets and becomes a magnificent football player, sure. However the film lays out the life of the working class, survival. In no way are they uneducated, dirty, depressed, or forgotten the people are family orientated  full of common sense and will to live life. Every dollar is spent before they get it, the families of America are not born into money, have no one to lend them a hand or to bail them out of a crisis. 
         The people of the working America need to to band together and educated one another to become a community. Communal Gardens, Carpooling, discount grocery shopping, keeping monthly utilities down. Physical education for the children, stay out of trouble  in the film children are sent to jail for such lengths for such petty crimes, if the child was wealthy they would have a lawyer and never spend a day in jail. Our judicial system is supposed based on equality, then how come the members of congress and wall street and the super companies  destroy lives of the folks that make less and never see a day in jail but one man or woman of a certain economic level can steel bread then suffer jail time, loose freedom, gain a criminal record, and their life will never be the same. 
         It is the system which allows the rich to dictate and keep the poor down smother any chance for success. A article on MSNBC's webpage by Rev. Vivian Nixon talks about criminal records for peaty crimes keeps the people "locked in poverty." Nixon states, "However, it becomes more complex when we consider the Pew Center’s 2008 finding that nearly one in 100 adults in the U.S. is behind bars and the National Employment Law Project’s estimation that nearly 65 million U.S. residents have a criminal record on file. This leaves them vulnerable to employment discrimination based solely on a conviction, no matter how long ago it occurred. What makes a lot more sense is a national ban on previous convictions inquiries until after an applicant has been deemed otherwise qualified." There needs to be a Revolt, not violence but we need to join together get rid of Washington and become the true land of the free. America has amazing capabilities we need to realize this needs to be done together and not one american should be suffering if individuals are flying on private planes.
