What's holding back the USA is corporation. They control basically every aspect of US society and as far as corporation has shown, it is corrupt. Corporation lobbies to presidents and congress men and women and forces their hands to make decisions that benefit corporations instead of society. Corporations are run on one mantra, and one mantra alone, make money, no matter what must be done. This is why large scale farms throw away tons of grain every year, because it keeps grain prices high, where they very easily could ship that grain to Africa and help fight the horrific poverty and starvation that plagues that continent. The USA needs to start policies to help the poor countries of the world, because it is moraly correct and also because it will benefit all the people of the world, even the wealthy corporations of the US.

On a slight side note, liberal laws are not always against Christianity. Liberal laws are what created welfare and other such social service programs. As far as I've learned from being a Catholic for the past 20 years, helping the poor is one of the greatest tenets of Chrisitanity. Liberals are the ones who fight agaisnt the dealth penalty and for socialized health care so that everyone can have hospital visits when they need them. Sorry, just a little rant I needed to get off from constantly hearing how liberals are so anti-religion.

Why not take away the power of the government to make decisions to benefit corporations? Once government decides to fuck with business, business will fuck with government.

The US Government throws the grain away, and also we DO ship a lot of grain out for free.
