The most serious threat: the hunger
México. - For those with left-wing ideology think that The States is a country without remedy by their so conservative society. The Americans that have less formal education have a better perception of the socialism than those which has a university education. If we see the other side of the currency, the positive reaction to the socialism, and inversely, negative to the capitalism, it depends this vision at level about revenue on the population. In this perception and to confuse us a little, 43 percent of the smaller of 30 years also has a positive perception of the capitalism term.

Most of those which have a positive reaction to the capitalism also have a positive reaction to the capitalism, lack of education and untruthful perception of the reality. This indicates us the serious confusion in the one which live the American societies and would explain because the marginalized population votes and they are added to opposite movements to their interest. In this road we have the right-wing movement Tea Party that it is composed in great quantity by white workers resent with the system by the economic crisis and with the sensation of the fact that the political class it has abandoned.

That is the figures message as Glen Beck, influential announcer and leader of opinion of one of the chat and news programs of Fox News. In the monument to Abraham Lincoln in Washington, resounding in the area still the historical speech "I have a dream" of Martin Luther King in 1963, lifting a hope in thousands of hearts that were listening it, and they trying to resurging this social leader in "a movement" as a new version than what directed King, are found Beck and Sarah Palin (ex candidate to vice-president), with demand before the politicians of taking into account this resentment and "to restore the honor" to The States and their inhabitants.

The right-wing force with their constant advertising has lifted a wave anti - migrant and anti - Muslim, arriving to annul the facts in function of their ideological struggle. To the public opinion not imports to him that may have been collapsed the Mexicans presence without papers in the last two years, neither that the Bank of the Federal Reserve in San Francisco, conclude that the immigrants have increased between 5 and 7 percent the wages and they have generated employment. The message received continues being what is opposite: the country is under immigrants’ invasion and worse, Moslem that threaten the character, the identity and the faith of this country blest by God. The chain Fox News has been devoted has thrown more firewood to the fire creating the Islamphobia and arrived to an inflection point in which a comedian is dared to strip it. The announcer of the newscast The Daily Show, Jon Stewart.

Political leaders surfeit
The famous slogan against the political class is, "that would be gone all", was given when the country was in crisis in 2001, now resounds in the walls of the States streets, not necessarily as a coherent movement, but as eat one’s fill expression with surfeit, and focused in particular on the political leadership of the White House. Almost three years after that exploded the but economic crisis from the great depression, after of the rescue of Wall Street and gigantic companies as General Motor by the public sector, with a unemployment rate of almost 10 percent ( in reality would be of the 17% if we included the underemployment).

With one of each American seven now in the poverty and with a concentration in the equal wealth to the one which was prevailing in 1928, and with forecasts of the fact that for the great majority there will not be relief during years, the confidence in the political class visibly is by soils. Eight of each 10 American express be "frustrated" and disappointed with the policy as a rule in this country. In fact it registered that less than 50 % of Americans express confidence in the principals "institutions" of the country, and the one which generates greater confidence for 43 % are the armed forces.

For the politicians, the qualifications are awful. In the survey of AP, is registered that 46% prefers not to reelect its legislative representative - 43% says that yes - . A 73% disapproves as accomplish their work the democrats in the congress, 68% disapproves labor of the republicans. The country is divided upon qualifying to the president Obama: 50% disapproves it, 49% approves it, but all the surveys demonstrate a collapse in the approval level of the mandatory. The majority believes that the country is going in wrong address. All this after one of the legislative meetings more productive and ambitious in the last decades.
