Do you think that Congress deliberately designed the mess we are in? Or the President? Or the Supreme Court Justices? Or the bureaucracy? (Actually, piecemeal, with no real supervision, they basically did...but not deliberately) Or the educational/media/opinionmaker/legal/NGO/lobbyist/corporate supercomplex?
Its like a game of pick up sticks, with 1000 sticks and 1000 owners. Each was put in place just so to profit its owner. Try to remove one without disturbing the others and you can't. A web of favors more complex than the web of sticks, put each in place, and disturbing any one disturbs the entire web which picks up the phone, calls in favors, and fights any change. That is why Obama (assuming total good will on his part) could campaign on hope and change and deliver neither. He campaigned by incurring debts within the system. Once elected those favors he owed were called in, especially by Wall Street. Obama was recruited by the system, acted within the system. No One In The System Can Change It.
In my computation, the ONLY thing that will disturb the system is a total outsider gaining (legally) the highest office in the land. This will alert the 1000 owners of the 1000 sticks and the web of favors and control they trade, that there's a whole new game in town. I do not promise if elected that I can end the old game; only that there is a very good chance I can reclaim freedoms for you not seen in two to five generations.
If you are sick of voting for promised change, and getting only ratcheted down increases in taxes, regulations, legal oppression, and so on-- the reason it is happening is simple--you are voting for people working for the 1000 owners of the 1000 sticks.
And you will work for them. Through increased taxes to pay debts you never signed for, and objected to, trillion dollar bailouts of corporate bets that went bad-- yes, you will work for them, morning noon and night, through cuts in what you need (wages, services) and increases in what you don't need (taxes, anti-freedom regulations to force you to do business with favored monopolies at prices of their choosing). And they are coming after the freedom of the Internet next. You will work for them.... It's already baked into the cake. Unless you choose someone else to work for...
I am working for you-- if you will work for me. Volunteer, Email jasoncomanager at gmail dot com (See the volunteer page) Join the resistance.
