"Watching Gangs of New York."

The film made by Martin Scorsese in the mid 90s that was showing how the gangs, and local government was trying to control New York City through thievery and political games. Thievery was a way of surviving for the low class, and political games were being played by the power players of the higher gangs and politicians that use the higher gangs to create chaos so they have a reason to uphold the law. Seeing the corruption in the film makes me want to compare the corruption in real life of our federal government.

One of the scenes shows a low class women trying to steal to make ends meat, and she was stealing out of need. Our federal government likes to steal from it citizens, because of its greed for power to control its people, and the people that control the federal government are the fat cats that sit on wall-street. The fat cats on wall street are the companies that has received federal bailout, and now have their hands in the US treasury taking the hard earn money of Americans to cover their losses. They are also using our money to lend out to other countries without setting interest or time for them to pay us back. They lend the money to gain control of that countries natural resources in the near future as away of paying that money that does not belong to them, but to us. The fat cats have a greed for power the way the low class women of the movie needed to steal to survive.
