This is the sort of thought process that needs to be discouraged because when enforced you have people that begin seeing it as justified. "See, they can handle it, we can just fuck them over some more! They've already accepted it!" The reason the other classes are struggling is because of policies and business strategies put in place by the upper-class. They fucked our economy, they fuck our pockets, consequently fucking our overall health, liberty & "pursuit of happiness" just so they can keep immense profits for themselves.

Never compare the USA to Africa - Africa is so full of injustice, genocide and cruelty it is just unbelievable. Although, America is covert with their militaristic corruption supposedly as a nation we are peaceful with liberties & freedoms. America is better than our current trajectory but by giving up on the "niceties" of the lower & middle classes & not supporting real living wages you may be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of even more injustice & cruelty in the US of A. The war in America is of the mind - when they get you thinking the way they want they will be able to exploit everything under the sun... sort of like what they've already done & luck plays no part of their agenda.

JiggaJonson, while your life may be harder than that of others around you it's a whole world apart from the poor of Africa. How far do you and your kids have to walk each day to collect enough contaminated water to survive? What? You get clean water piped right to your house? Yeah. Poor. I see.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be helping those less fortunate than ourselves in our own societies, but I also think those people should appreciate quite how lucky they were to be born where they were born...

So fucking quality compared to that auto-tuned crap from this year.Totally!! It's the rap/hip-hop in the Haiti version. Other parts are OK but not good as 80s version.

Mint,
Was going to promote this but it appears the audio on the original stream got changed?? http://www.videosift.com/video/USA-For-Africa-We-Are-The-World-1985
First time I've seen that happen? So it's more in *limbo then dead. Just a heads up.

I thought about responding, but no.. Thank you though for consulting Wikipedia before casting your downvote.

According to Wikipedia, this is the most obnoxious, self indulgent and offensive song of all time.

Yay, thanks for the promote! =)

*promote this *happy song.

These type of things raise awareness more than anything else, farhad - and I only posted it because it's the Christmas season and this song still has legs when compared to the "USA for Africa" American version.

And make no mistake, libertarian capitalism is as much a faith-based initiative as the hope that donations will fix the problem. Donations may be appropriate in certain situations, where markets may be in others.
