		<description>I hope the following is understandable...

Life is more hectic in the USA because of so many entrenched systemic forces that we must pay for...

the &quot;skim&quot; that allows the few to amass so much wealth via little effort.

From taxes to higher costs for everything we consume.

One mere example...

The billions of dollars skimmed from the masses to pay for celebrity endorsements that are passed along in the costs of goods and services.

That money handed over to Tiger Woods for the Buick autos he represents? Surely that cost is included in every GMC vehicle sold.

So many other &quot;skims&quot; that allows the few to amass wealth.

How about those multi-million and billion dollar lawsuits?  Those costs are passed along in the costs of goods and services.

So much wealth skimmed from the top.

Systems and sub-systems set up within a larger economic system usually with the connivance of governmental entities so the skim continues.

It is a racket and we all must work longer and harder to pay for that skim.</description>
