Crumbs from the table

I found this cartoon at www.otherwords.org/ and it reminded me of this post that I started April 1 and never sat down to fully form.  It is still not fully formed but I will allow the cartoon to do most of the speaking with only a few words from me.

Why does it increasingly seem as if American society is devolving into we, the people, fighting each other for crumbs from the table while those who control the levers of power enjoy the lavish cornucopia?  Even worse, it seems as if there are those who intentionally drop crumbs from the table in order to enjoy the spectacle of fighting for crumbs.  Imagine if we, the people,  recognized ourselves in the other with whom we fight for the crumbs?  And stopped fighting each other.  Then decided to look up and question why there is a cornucopia out of reach of the masses.  And set about to change that.  Imagine that if you can.
