It's been a while since I've commented; I believe noone is serious about change that is decades past due. I remember thinking many times: "Why do we have so many crisis in America?". If each individual experienced as many crisis in our personal lives as the nation and gov't does, it would be easy, even for the guess on Dr. Phil, to realize that a definite course correction is due.
Yet we, the American people do nothing! That brings me to the next question: "Why are so many people willing to do nothing to rescue America?".
To state it simply, the Founding Fathers covered everything they could foresee by way of their knowledge and experience. In no fashion could they see the enslavement of society and gov't today by corporations. No life goes untouched on Capitol Hill by corporate society.
If I have a problem that is difficult to analyze, I reduce it or magnify it and that usually helps in finding the solution. One way is to consider to fortunes of a smaller society in Florida. There are still today in Florida people that think Jeb Bush, the President's brother, was a great governor. This inspite of run away taxation, corporate manipulation of insurance rates and ever increasing and intrusive laws that choke business. As a result of this master management, houses are not selling and home values are falling, insurance companies are still raising rates on people that haven't seen a real increase in their wages for years. People are leaving Florida in search of a better life else where. Even though Bush isn't Governor anymore, his brand of gov't is still here. Florida is in a crisis! Sound familiar? Why? Because Americans do nothing! Why? We have for decades been conditioned to do nothing. It's un-American!
I have never been a conformist. Oh, I look like you and speak like you and I love America ( the old America ), but I'm not like you. I don't accept what I'm told to accept by the Federal gov't. Why? Because the Federal gov't is corupted by corporations (money). They have betrayed the peoples trust for enrichment. They can not police themselves any more than anyone else in power can and we are just too busy trying to make ends meet. The life that some how we find ourselves in. A life that really doesn't make good sense. It's like we're hypnotized in to wanting it.
I still remember when the feds, under Reagan, you know, the stupid Trickle Down guy, torn American farmers apart to make room for the corporate farms. I am not a farmer, but I remember so many of them committing suicide after having the only lives they and their previous generations knew, being taken from them. That's a gov't I can not support!
We have an advantage that the Founding Fathers didn't have. Present day experience. We know deep down in side, very deep down inside that this gov't, democrate and republican alike, is corrupt and will stay corrupt. It is not about to course correct. Why should it? Why should they not benefit from office? Thomas Jefferson was a dope! He died in debt. Why didn't he enrich himself? Because they where men we I fear will never see in American gov't again. They were honorable people with principles. We repress the thoughts that sickens us that this is true. That we, all Americans within the last thirty years, have contributed to a bleak future ruled by a privitized federal gov't.
It is estimated that by the year 2045, that 50% of America's youth will be imprisoned. Prisons today are mostly privately run institutions. Private institutions are profit driven! Profits require inmates, lots of inmates. Your sons and daughters. It's like a scary futuristic movie from the 70's being played out before our do nothing asses!
America is corrupted from within. Corporations have bought our politicians, our gov'ts and us. Government, local, state and federal is becoming privatized just like the scary movies of the 70's.
Solution: Remove everyone from office and vote in clean blood. Stop revoting they back into office. Stop falling for the same old "They're are experienced" crap. They are bought. And most of all stop saying "What can I do about it?" Because I've just told you, be none conforming to corporate lies.
