You are absolutely correct Paul, but how do we fix it?

Our politicians sold out out jobs for money and now they are selling our liberty for money.

Well, I hear that gold will drop by 10-15% soon, so I don’t think so. And (I believe) what makes it possible for CEOs to make all their money is the laws that have been written by the politicians that share in the booty.

Corrupt campaign finance and bloated health care costs are but two symptoms of the same financial disease: usury.

Usury is just cheating. Everybody cheats but nobody likes a cheater. Our laws even encourage cheating!

That our accepted ways of doing business are self-destructive in the long run has no negative impact on short-term profits. Cash in now.

The power to corrupt politicians (and everyone else) comes directly from the power to not only create money, but to collect interest on all money created.

Good loans given interest-free to hard-working people would generate the sort of economy we can only dream about, today.

The sooner we move to a fair monetary system, the less chaos we must endure. Most people have no clue what money really is or who creates and controls it.

The scam is nearing its end. There is a diagram for “change” that is not good for the common people. I think you should note the price of gold and who has the money to buy it. Is a gold standard coming?

[...] I found amusing the Billionaire Sea Castles, which of course faces only sea storms, pirates and torpedoes. But well-deserved anyway. Even if you like some of these ideas, our corrupt political system will block them. Only passage of the Fair Elections Now Act will give them (and the nation) an opportunity to survive. Pressure your congressman to co-sign the bill. Our government is controlled by corporations rather than voters, and with political complicity they trashed our economy. [...]

As we embrace policies and strategies that
erode our army, we risk more than a weakened
military; we risk breeding resentments and
recriminations that could lead to a future
domestic surge of militant nationalism of
our very own, conceivably imperiling the
foundations of our democracy.
- William J. Astore retired lieutenant colonel (USAF).

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.” – Thomas Jefferson

Isn’t it time we took back our country?

Yea, wacko for sure. I voted for Bush twice and McCain in 2008, but I’ve never let my political biases stand in the way of reasoned thinking.

And oh... Transparency International listed the U.S. as 19th in their The Corruption Perceptions Index. Got that? Our government is 19th in honesty!!! Not first, New Zealand got that, and Canada was 9th. And PLEASE, look at the first graph at inequality.org. If you believe all of this crap about "reducing taxes and increasing wealth for those at the top so they can create jobs," where are all the jobs today now that the top 1% again owns 25% of the wealth???
