Ma'am;... Let me suggest the impossibility of taking an honest man....Forget about the corruption in politics, and in regulation.... Forget even how stupid seems the ideal of Markets regulating themselves... Consider this... None of this train wreck from one end of the economy to the other would have been possible without the common curruption we take for granted in our own souls....We want something for nothing??? In fact, nothing for something is way more likely... But what were we all buying with our investments??? Does any care that with our dollar invested; some one at the business end has to make that dollar into a dollar and a dime? Does anyone care how the trickle of rents and interests are sweated out of people???. People buy houses and see their jobs depart... What choice have they but to depart too, leaving their equity behind to be gathered up like their property??? If you read some European history you see how capitalism developed and grew on interests some times as high as thirty percent.... What has held back capital growth in places like Dar al Islam, was that there was no way to extract excess value out of people with interests.... There; people are poor, but the poverty is general... I am not suggesting that is the way for us.... What I am saying is that the great advances made by capital were built on squeezing individuals one at a time, and has become a general squeezing of every one until it is squeezing the life out of this people and out of all our governments... No one can do no good unless interests and profits are paid... Governments can more easily justify debts than taxes which means they are building when they should not, or trying to provide services their economy cannot support.... In other words they are in their decline whether they know it or not, and just as much as any individual forced by low wages to live on credit...The fact is; If this society discovers it cannot live without credit, it has at that very moment discovered that it can live without credit... We are big enough to throw off the class of parasites and pensioners expecting to live better on our sweat than on their own labor... I collect a pension... I worked for every nickle in it... I hope to God that it is all invested in good, and with prudence; but history shows that our watchdogs are mere wolves, and too often looking for an easy profit for little labor.... We are all invested in capitalism, and now watch us all reap a dividend of poverty... What choice had we??? If the government did not do its part to fund capital, and did not do so all on debt, and make up the debt by printing money; then we could all safely put our money under the mattress...It is because of a steady inflation that steals from all people on a fixed incomes that we need to risk all to gain a little.... If we are feeding these parasites, and government is feeding these parasites, and every little wog in every third world country is feeding these parasites; then WHY??? We think we can't live without this non sense??? Like hell we can't.... We have to live without this class, or die... They have sucked the wealth out of this entire land, and reduced us all to slavery...We have nothing left to sell but our political rights which they, and the government, seem to think have no value...Let us find out what they are worth.... Because in my book, the people make the laws and decide what laws they will enforce...If our government and economy has ruined us; it is time to un-ruin us....Thanks...Sweeney
