I think corporate cronyism is to blame. Seriously, the liberals think giving 80 billion dollars a month to the stock market and bankers is ok. I don’t get it. I also don’t get why republicans and libertarians are not plastering this on every superbowl ad slot. 80 billion dollars... to banks and wall street, while everyone else is being extorted by taxation to give it to them. Think of all the companies in bed with the government.. Verizon, AT&T, GE, IBM, the list is endless.
an honest answer to our question?
Libertarians are too wrapped up in themselves to have time or energy to care about anything else around them.
Republicans are in it with the Democrats as power grabbing regulators to keep their positions of power. There are a few exceptions, but far too few.
That is the reality we live in right now and only a total reset will solve the problem. Neither one is an answer, get over it.
Good call, seeing as bankers funded Marx to write the Manifesto. The biggest pushers here in the US were the Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller Foundations. That story was captured in Rene Wormser's book, Foundations: Their Power and Influence. It was Rockefeller who funded and managed the sexual revolution for example, producing the dysfunctional children who have been the foot-soldiers of socialism. Between the income tax and public education, the extremely wealthy found a way to shackle their competition by owning or controlling every medium of public education while avoiding paying for it themselves as they had also bought corporate media.
I have no problem with someone becoming fabulously rich, but I do have a problem with gaming the system to do it. That is theft.
