Its kind of sad to be of an age where I've personally witnessed the decline and now, downward spiral, of our economy. It needn't be this way: other courses were and are readily available. Its a failure of will on the part of the electorate to fully participate (by simply paying attention and voting) and the rise of sociopaths in positions of power in industry with the means to buy off politicians. It happens to every great and small country at every stage of our existence. Take any form of government, be it a dictatorship, a monarchy, a democracy and pull away the facade and you'll find oligarchs. Oligarchs are nothing more than people who've amassed great fortunes and are willing to use some degree of coercive violence to keep it. That violence can manifest itself from retinues of personal mercenaries and standing armies to something as ubiquitous as a tax code. There's lots of window dressing that we all fall for. |

Does not bode well for the middle class and their standard of living.... Its a failure of will on the part of the electorate to fully participate (by simply paying attention and voting) and the rise of sociopaths in positions of power in industry with the means to buy off politicians.Just part of the dumbing down of America.... If I were the Chinese communist government I would be using some of those US consumer dollars, through surrogates, to buy up all the good rich tillable US farm ground I could get my hands on. . |
