Who thinks we are being done over?

Question

Personally, I think that we should all stand up for our own good, whatever creed, race or religion we are. It's about time we stopped being told what we can or can't do by people who don't know us, and decide for ourselve's what goes on where we live. Never mind the government saying it's all OUR FAULT that the planet's going wonky. I know for a fact that I didn't write to the council and ask them to put my rubbish in a big hole, and then build houses on top of it. (as far as i know it was all their idea.) I don't think there's a lot I can do on my own, but I have got the help of a few good friends, and I think that it's all gonna kick off big time soon. Better to be ready for what might happen and look like an idiot than sit back and take it like a fool. I don't disagree with pollution but when i'm told to recylce all my plastic, I don't expect to have things that they don't take due to not being suitable for recycling when it quite clearly has the recyclable symbol on it.!?

Answer 1

No question we are. The big corporations and the powerful have their hands out hard and fast to the government.

Our money is being handed over to the rich and mighty.

We have enough money to pay for universal health care and high quality education. We have the money but it's being handed off to various "important" people.

Answer 2

It's our corporate controlled economy.  Mike Gravel tells the "truth" on the democratic debates.  Our economy was "privitized" in 1914 when our money was "privitized" by the Federal Reserve System.  It's just been downhill ever since.  Corporations now have "rights" and people's rights have been dissolved ..... no right to privacy, no freedom of speech, no right to freedom from search and seisure.... why do you think the GOP "dissolved" Habeus Corpus?  We cannot even get our elected officials to stop the war or pass health care legislation that the entire country wants.  Are you getting the picture now?  So just "behave" and do your job and keep quiet.  Watch Faus (FOX) TV and go shopping.... Big Daddie Bush will "take care" of you and everything.  Don't worry.  Don't worry if the votes don't get counted.

Answer 3

Yes, we're getting a big floss job here.

Originally, in more modern Angle-Saxon culture, governments were formed among people, by the people (John Locke).

Now, governments are formed to centralize a public treasury that can be more conveniently raided on a regular basis by those who attain power and prominence.
