As I mention to NathanBedford in another thread, I have recently been watching the documentaries of Adam Curtis. One of the things he goes into is this aspect of the role of media and the financial sector in events of the last couple of decades. Part of “the 1%” problem is that, no matter what our politicians claim they are up to, their main interest is their own. So it doesn’t matter what the initial next to their name is, “R” or “D”, the rich are going to simply get even richer, no matter who runs things.
There is no regulation that is going to be successful in “redistributing wealth” (see tag). None. The dumbest human will figure out a way to subvert the regulations for their own interest in milliseconds. I read something this morning that pointed out this idea was put into words in our own Declaration of Independence but at the moment I can’t recall the specific words.
Hi.
“pursuit of happiness.”
