The 2nd one is my favorite. It illustrates the real reasons behind the Iraq war and the problems it causes. People are dying in wars, while presidents get paid off by people that make the weapons and materials to make new wars.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Our soldiers fought and died so this gap could get larger. Most common people in the US are distracted by sensationalism and a scapegoat: extremist Muslims, and people have even gone as far as racism. The recent rise in nativism (anti-foreigners) has caused groups such as the KKK to resurge, further dividing the nation.
Corporate leaders and rich men then capitalize on rebuilding nations at the expense of the poor and middle class of our own nation, as well as the lives of the Iraqis and our owns soldiers, while the insanely wealthy pay less percentage tax than the lower middle class. People are being distracted by problems created by the mass media, controlled by a rich and powerful few.
In the name of a never-ending war on terror, the people are losing rights. Torture is becoming commonplace. It is virtually impossible for a common man or woman to run for office on a federal level any more, so the corrupt do not get replaced.
