I really like this article, it expresses my frustration with our gov't wholeheartedly. I will say this in response to the article - because lobbyists control so many private sector jobs, gov't sometimes has to capitulate to their will, or their constituents lose jobs. But really, in the long run, if the government did its job and held its ground, there'd be jobs to replace the ones lost.
The government is there to be the arbiter between two sets of opposing views; to be the hand that goes between the people about to fight; to be the set of rules that everyone follows; to be the entity that protects the weak from the tyranny of the strong; to be the objective viewpoint and treat everyone the same in the eyes of the laws created. That is the initial intent of government - but it becomes what it becomes because the strong are usually the ones who take control of the government and use it to oppress the weak further so no one threatens their rule.
This has happened throughout history... don't know why it upsets me now, but with us as the last bastion to tyranny, being manipulated by the people with insane amounts of money through news, politicians and other forms of media, it feels like a slap in the face. Religions have been used the same way, as a belief to cull the herd into following along and not stepping out of bounds from their complacency. Worry about the safety of the kids - buy a gun, approve this security measure, vote for the guy who's going to keep your kids safe. Worry about your car and your job and what's coming on TV tonight - what you will have for dinner - but in all cases, buy something and give us your hard earned money.
How do we stop this? Turn off the tube. Stop watching television, stop paying attention to advertisements - everything's the same as the other one, and people will try their hardest to convince you that their's is SO much better than the other guy's. We stop paying attention to news and TV, we'll start becoming more social. It's the only threat to their power anymore - ideas that catch fire. There are far more poor than there are wealthy, and the wealthy are scared of the poor's numbers. They don't want another French Revolution. They don't want the low classes to find out that THEY stole the surplus of social security, and don't have enough money to pay it back. They want us to privatize it, so the banks can gain hold of the remaining resources. They want to cut education so people have to pay to go school - making education once again a privilege, something that has not happened since the early founding days of our country - and I mean the 1600's. They want to use the new resources to pay themselves more money - the debt hounds do this.
Who gives the country money? The Fed reserve creates it and loans it out to the government so the government can pay bills. We give the government money so they can pay off the loans for what they've bought - guns, insurance and medicine, whatever. If they're paying schools and government bureaucracy, they're not paying for the loans they've taken out from the banks, or for new guns, or more of whatever else they buy.
The banks are the worst.
Question: How can the government possibly pay back a loan, when in order to do so they have to borrow more money first?
Answer: They borrow it from a different bank.
The fed reserve creates the money to begin with, and loans it to the government so the government can pay bills. That money goes to the banks to pay for the private loan the government took out to afford the bills from the previous month. The government takes out another loan from the banks, and then deposits it into a different account within the federal reserve to make sure the bills are paid on the money the federal reserve gave the government to pay the banks. In essence, our tax dollars go to pay the loans we take out from the banks, and the fed reserve. SO, to summarize the cycle of money:
fed>govt>banks>govt>fed.
There's no way to pay off the debt, especially when interest is calculated. When the Republicans talk about lowering the debt, they're talking about giving money to the rich, and cutting social programs so they can keep us working and watching TV. When they talk about the second amendment, they're helping the rich keep their money, not their guns. The lobbyists want us to believe that something else is happening - they want us to fear losing freedoms. They want us to praise the politicians who vote down gun regulation laws; they want us to trust the people who hold our currency while they rob us of social programs; They want us to all follow along and march to the same tune to keep them in power and us under foot. Corporations have the potential to be immortal; Humans don't... yet. So, while we bicker and fight over the things they talk about on TV and cable news, they solidify their power structure with laws handed to politicians and signed into law immediately. Monsanto, this gun control law from the article, It's all a play to gain total control over whatever aspect of life they can. They will control our inexpensive foods, and make sure we all get a certain chemical...it's near frightening to think on. It's time for us to take away their control, and stop giving them our money, in my opinion. It's really simple to. Do some research, find out what that company produces, and stop buying it. Simple. Find another brand.
