What a twisted reality man has created for himself.

It appears that at some point in time people utilized some form of exchange in order to facilitate their lives. Some form of exchange to make life more simple and perhaps better. However, over time it appears that the means of exchange ceased being a way to facilitate life and became a distructive force. The original purpose turned on itself and became it's opposite;The means of exchange became superior to life itself. Life became subjugated to the means of exchange. One can…

 Because of Citizens United Supreme Court decision basically justifyng corporations having individual rights- That is, the individual right to free speech - Then if they are deemed to have this individual freedom, it only follows that they must pay a tax rate at the individual effective rate and not corporate rate with only 15% for dividens etc.

What is good for the gooses is good for the gander- Pay the Tax or shut up!

 Language could be simple if it were not for the lies that have become necessary in a convoluted exploitative economic system. To be covert, sinister, hidden, shim-sham, shyster, sell a bill of goods, the brooklyn bridge if you will- to get over, to make it, to out wit and win over all lies inherent to Capitalism.

What is wrong with people who expect politicians to not be capitalisits? Why is it people are confused about politicians taking advatage of their elected…
