It’s Coming Slow, But People Are Catching On Its coming slow, but people are catching on. Some of them caught on long ago, but they are blaming the wrong party for the problem. The problem is that we have been taken over by a New King, the Corporatocracy and Power Elite. Corporations have become people, money has become King, and our people have become poverty stricken while we continue to pursue the false religion of Free Enterprise, that slow growing cancer of dog eat dog, survival of the fittest, and let the devil take the hindmost—a cancer metastasizing throughout our economy, while our people burn at the stake, and the fiddler fiddles. Think of Nero, that idiot leader of the Roman Empire, centuries past. Both parties are under the power of this New King, but which party do you see as the primary supporter of big money, corporations, oil, and banks, etc? Who do you see dumbing down our schools and cutting budgets for education? Who do you see polluting our environment, and exploiting our resources. Who have you watched daily trying to take away our Social Security, Healthcare, and Unemployment Compensation? Whose taxes have been cut the most—those of the rich or those of the poor? Who has the money? Where’s the wealth? Is it flowing to you or is it flowing to the rich? Who really run up our debt in the first place? Who put us in this financial condition? When Jimmy Carter left office in 1981, our National Debt was less than a Trillion Dollars? When Clinton left office, our budget was balanced and they were talking (worrying) about paying off the debt. When George Bush left office, our debt had increased 1,004%, Nine Trillion Dollars, since Jimmy Carter left office. Sure, we have, of course, run huge deficits since, under the Democrats. Our national debt now exceeds $17 Trillion; but, wouldnt you expect that to happen with a collapsed world financial market and the planet in a depression caused by thirty years of deregulation and gross mismanagement of our government. Who really brought this whole damned world down around all of our necks? The generations, since World War II, has arguably lived the highest level prosperity of any generation of people in the history of civilization. Our poor were well-off when compared to the poor of many other nations. Now our prosperity is gone. It’s all over. Now we are going downhill. We are going down and we are not going to come back up for years to come, if ever. Our problem will be passed on to our children and our grandchildren. I am scared to death we may even be heading into another civil war if the tenor of things, this polarization of our people, dont change and change soon. Yet some of you just cant seem to get it through your heads as to who or what is causing this. Ill tell you this, it isnt President Obama. I sure dont agree with him on a number of issues(My wife doesnt agree with me on everything either); but, after all, he is a human being, deserving a fair shake just like the rest of us—and he isnt getting it. As the winner of two elections in a row, we the people, at least, owe him that. If anyone or anything brought on our problem, it wasn’t Barack Obama. It’s in his hands and he has to deal with it, but he didn’t cause it. Let us work with him. We don’t have to always agree with him, but let’s give him a break. There is an election coming up. It’s only four months away. Let’s take back our government from the New King, the Corporatocracy and Power Elite. Let every one of us, lock, stock, and barrel, get out and vote. Let’s return to the democracy we abandoned to the money people. __________________________ ♥ MILLER ♥ FYI-SPM@Gatekeeper and Watchman (Steven P.
