Andre Soltys, oil on canvas, dated 2012. The red bend at the bottom is the decline of America's economy, the problems that are pulling the country down.

The red color is the blood of the society that is dragging it all down. The white color is hiding the truth about the real situation: murders, infringements of rights and other problems that are hidden from the society. As if blood flows on the grid of problems.

Stars are states, they are placed according to the size of states and proximity.

The blue color is the Democratic party on both sides as on the map, and inside the red color is the Republicans.

The grape stalk is a group of democratic states, there were 13 of them at first and the one that separated, (changes in the party), the green leaf at the bunch on the right is a symbol of money outside the flag.

The influence of U.S. money on countries outside of the U.S. (outside the flag).
