First of all, the Unites States is a corporation, owned by the international banker with us as collateral for the national debt. We are under the guise of a "democracy" but the only choices we have are bought and paid for by the elite to fulfill their agenda - complete control.<br /><br />Capitalism is a game of monopoly. The masses start with nothing their parents can't provide. And then the game is rigged to enrich the wealthy. Have you ever tried to sue a big company? Most of us don't have the financial resources needed to buy a qualified attorney to fight the wrongs of corporate criminals. The entire idea of companies being responsible to increase share holder wealth at any cost is part of the problem. Employees are not held criminally liable for the results of their decisions and actions. If they violate health and safety and someone dies, they pay pocket change and go on to sin again. <br /><br />There is no enforcement (or very little) of laws designed to protect the masses. Government regulations pile up with breaches all over the place and no one cares unless there is money to be made. The entire system of trade is a problem for those with fewer resources. Then add collusion (direct or indirect) and you have a system where corporations represent modern-day kings.<br /><br />Freedom and rights are for those who can purchase them. Liberty is voluntarily relinquished under fear caused by the elite. Wars rage unabated because they are profitable, keep people in fear and divide the masses against itself. <br /><br />We have been participating in a charade of a free market that rewards those who save money by cutting labor, providing lousy goods and services, deceiving the masses, purchasing the media to brainwash the public and eliminating the opportunity for most of us to be small business owners - priced out of the market by deep pockets. <br /><br />Awareness is the first step to recovery. Next step is for the masses to unite. Unfortunately, complacency and fear plus unreasonable work expectations keep those not directly affected quiet...self included until 3 years ago when capitalism failed to live up to its promises for me. <br /><br />We are at a make or break time in history. Every bit of publicity helps. Thanks Bud.New Paradigmnoreply@blogger.com
