As has been the case with our national election system for decades now, the coming election has nothing to do with re-directing our govt, restoring the economy, taking care of the less fortunate, or repairing damaged foreign relations. That kind of thinking is for the uninformed, the lower classes, the unemployed, the blue collar slaves, which is most of us, make no mistake about that.
No, this election, as always, is about which candidate will help the Wall St. crowd. Bankers, investment companies, investors, stockholders, the rich who want to get richer, that ilk. It has been like this for some 40 years, minimum. The usurpation of the balance of powers that once upon a time, made our country great and enabled us to hold up the beacon of hope to the entire world, continues.
The Supreme Court with its incredible decisions; the failure of Congress to act on anything meaningful, looking the other way as media and finance and other businesses grown into huge monopolies, eliminating their competition; a thoroughly open border that lets in who knows, while we valiantly guard the borders of foreign countries; an IRS incapable of compelling multi-billion and million dollar businesses from inverting themselves to avoid their tax responsibilities while at the same time expecting the use of resources and protection provided by the very govts they seek to cheat; inexperienced men put into the WH by the powers behind the throne, to be puppets for those in actual control.
We have had one revolution in this country over tyranny. Might be time for another. When our leaders double-speak and ignore us for the good of the few, it is time. When the two main political parties spend millions over several years and the best they can come with for presidential candidates, is these two, it is time.
I am not talking about marching in the streets, nothing violent. But maybe a gathering around Capitol Hill would work. It would hinge on whether we could catch Congress actually in session.
Last resort, is to stop paying taxes. Can't lock us all up, and the country would grind to a resounding halt. I know of no other alternative that is peaceful, effective, able to be done by the masses, than hitting our leaders in their only vulnerable spot-their wallets.
