We all like to dump on "The Government". Well, some of us do like to
dump on the Ruling Class, too.
But the rich dump on "the government" for passing legislation that
hampers their expansion efforts. The middle class(whatever that is
today)dumps on "the government" because it over taxes them and passes
laws that allow corporations to expand. The working Class dumps on
"the government" because it passes laws that insist on corporate
compliance's which cause industry to flee American soil and to settle
in Mexico, Asia or Antarctica. Those Penguins work cheaper than
Chinese Women!
So, just who is "The Government"? First, if it were not doing the job
it is being paid for, why is it still in business? That would mean
that we, the People have let down, allowing an inept bunch of mealy
mouths to push us around.
Just maybe "the government" is doing the job it is being paid for. So
who is benefiting from this government? Well, we can see who is most
successful under the laws set up by "the government". We worship
financial success as the primo measure of Success in America. So we
can look to such "First Class Citizens" as Microsoft, Amazon, Google,
Face Book, Boeing and the entire Military/Industrial Complex,
Macdonalds and all international fast food Corporations, the Health
Industry which cleans up, literally, after the health breakdown from
too many Big Macs, and the list is endless but needs most certainly
to include the huge international banks that we still call Wall
Street.
Remember back in high school when we would grab the basketball and
head onto the playing court? Well our Corporate Masters have a court,
too. It's called the Judicial System. Currently our Masters are
packing their Court with very conservative judges who will make and
interpret laws which will effect all of us for years to come.
Then there is the second court in which our Masters are skilled at
controlling, using our dollars which we carelessly squandered in
meeting the demands of "the government"to pay up all our
taxes...unless we happen to be one of the Master Race. This court,
called Congress, swears to a man...and to a few women, that it is not
affected by Payola! Huh? Not only crooked, but stupid, too?
So, if "the government" is doing a pretty fair job of clearing the
field for our First Class Citizens, the Corporations, then why do they
spend so much time and effort bad mouthing it? Well, it might be that
they use "the government" as a buffer, directing our wrath at "the
government" rather than at the Ruling Class. This has been the tried
and true method the Ruling Class has used with our Mass Media. Just
who owns the Mass Media? The working class? The homeless? The fast
disappearing middle Class? Nope. A close look behind the veneer
shows us that ownership, and thus, control belongs to our Master Race,
the Ruling Class.
So, my little ones, before toddling off to bed, we can say we know one
thing for absolute certainty. Whoever each of us believes "the
government" is, we can say for sure that we know it is not "Our
Government". It was bought and paid for. We, the average American
cannot afford the high price...probably because we frittered away our
money.
So nighty night, and snuggle into your comfy beds...because tomorrow
we'll be sleeping in the car...if they haven't repossessed it yet.
