A correction is needed.
For the uninitiated, the moral of the story is simply this: Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.
It should read:
For the uninitiated, the moral of the story is simply this: Rich people involved in politics invariably respond to crises that affect their wealth) -- that in most cases they themselves created (such as outsourcing American jobs, but allow for prices to rise and cooking up crappy investment products based off of toxic debt) -- by spawning new government programs, laws, regulations and bail outs for their friends back in the "private" sector. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the rich people involved in politics to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.
The greedy capitalist overlords of America has been fucking over this country since it was announced by Regan we need to give them the steering wheel of this nation's economy.
Prior to that, Nixon showed that privatized healthcare is one of the new gold rushes of America. Since then, people looking to get some help, to literally live - are charged up the ass and placed into debt. While the HMOs rake in billions of profits each year and STILL deny you what you are paying for.
Now, I know what you are thinking, you dethawed racist inbred peice of shit McCarthy-ite; and no, the solution is not communism. The solution is to give the basics back to the people. Right now, you can't survive the way things are set up. This reality has been totally ingnored by those in power.
And, when you get your fucking head caved in, because you want to "stand up" for what you think is the real American way - maybe then, maybe then as your skull is being shattered you will realize you've been fighting and screaming for the wrong side. Not that its wrong because it opposes and oppresses the people you hate and fear.
Its wrong because they were using you all along; they set you up, to eat that intial blow and hopefully they have enough time to run away someplace safe with all their money.
Enjoy being cannon fodder for the rich, asshole.
