OK,
For a Swede looking at how the states mistreat the odinary guy and give the rich ones and big corporations so many favours with tax declines, supporting the banks when they put them selves in a mess, not regulating bonus schemes on Wall Street, but failing to provide a functional health care for everyone my advice is: once and for all, give up the american dream and start caring for your next. Start taxing the rich population and corps and reduce their influence on the govenment - bringing back power to the people!
