We sit by and watch laws being broken by the rich and powerful more and more. Meanwhile our prisons are full and they have become another industry for filling the pockets of those already rich. Who are those "criminals"? Certainly not the ones who need to be there often enough. International law is not much different since only the losers can be tried for war crimes. We have more criminals running around free than we have law abiding people it seems. Am I exaggerating? Voter suppression, bank fraud, lying to justify going to war, torture of prisoners, misuse of the broadcast media to spread deliberately false propaganda, the buying of scientists to allow the destruction of the planet, abuse of and domination of women, and I could go on and on. Read on below and see if you can justify this system. It is rotten to its core.
Long ago it was made clear to me that the tax laws are written to encourage cheating. Why is this so? It is a very simple ploy. If they can get you to join into the cheating you have no grounds to oppose their massive rip offs.
Why do drug users get prosecuted and sent to jail by drug users? Tell me that class differences do not matter.
Why does the theft of billions by a banker make no difference while the jails are full of people who stole a small amount?
Why does so called religious freedom only apply to the attempts to make others abide by the religion promoting it? Are not the others free?
Why does the law protect the rich from the rest of us rather than the other way around?
You get the picture. You now have elected another government that is destined to fail. Was the the intent of the founders of the nation?
There is a picture here of an emperor who is naked and the masses loving his clothes. There is a long history of people struggling and sometimes dying only to have others give away what they fought so hard to win.
This is not a democracy. It is a plutocracy. You get to "chose" among those who will keep it going when you vote. You get to pick a "a lesser evil" but it is really a small difference between very large numbers if you can understand that.
This could go on forever right? Well folks like Mitt Romney are laughing at us all the way to the bank. If this country diminishes it won't hurt them. The global economy will take good care of them. How else could they afford to squander what they did on this last election? Think about it!
They will tie the government up again and we will go down further. meanwhile they will live well and look at us as fools. Maybe we are. We sure swallow a big fairy tale.
But there is a future and your kids and theirs and so on. While we allow their future to be stolen we pay lip service to caring for them. We are a sad lot. You really do not need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind is blowing. Wake up!
