Food for Oil, food for thought

On average, every individual in American spent over 30 thousand dollars in 2002 for housing, food, healthcare, transportation and entertainment, yes entertainment. Over 32 percent of Americans earn less than 20 thousand a year!!! A report by an independent think-tank lists the companies most likely to benefit directly from this spending spree: GE, Microsoft, Exxon-Mobil, Pfizer, Wal-Mart, Citigroup, Johnson & Johnson and AIG. Interestingly, Business Week lists the top 10 companies in the world and it goes like this: GE, Microsoft, Exxon-Mobil, Pfizer, Wal-Mart, Citigroup, Johnson & Johnson, Royal Dutch Petroleum, British Petroleum and AIG.

Green-span

So who has the money? Most would readily say the rich, OK, but who are the rich? Let us look at some numbers here- less than 13 percent of Americans earn over 100 thousand a year, less than 3 percent earn over 200 thousand a year. Over 65 percent of Americans earn less than 50 thousand dollars a year, half of those earn less than 20 thousand a year. Majority of Americans earn just about enough to sustain, a recent study shows than Americans save less than 1 percent of their income, that is right less than 1 percent. So if Americans are saving next to nothing, what are they spending on?

Corporate America

If there is one thing we can all agree upon is the fact that corporate America is all about the money. If you do not think so, you should stop wasting your time by reading the rest of it. America, as seen on TV- can be broken up into red states and blue states, but there is one more color that most American media fail to account for while candidly segregate it’s states and people- green.

The Media

Is there such a thing called objective media coverage; rational, unbiased, factual news? Since it’s inception, the media has continually squabbled over lack of journalistic freedom of expression, stating censorship of the right to free speech. Are journalists really oppressed? If so, why do we never hear a dateline story about media bias? or about the oppressor and the manipulations that they so cheerfully (read fake) decry? If television is any indication of journalistic freedom of expression, the subtle attempt to publish their propaganda like “war is not bad if it is fought to achieve peace” or that “poor blacks peddle dope as part of a political conspiracy to eradicate poor blacks“ may indeed warrant censorship. Is the media biased? If so, why? What are they trying to get out of the viewer?
