BTT for a great piece.
Great read..true picture...few exerts below:
Political players and their union and corporate allies ARE spending billions to get their hands on trillions...
Monopolistic power in 20th century America lies NOT in the hands of a few industrialists, but in the massive ‘monopolistic trust of government, and its network of unions, non-profits, lobbyists and SuperPAC’s.’
The railroads are broken up, offshore drilling is banned, coal mining is in trouble and Ma Bell has a thousand quarreling stepchildren— now government is the real big business.
Under an ideological cloak of darkness, ......politicians act as if they can do anything they want...... Public outrage is met with alarmist news stories about the dangers of violence,... as if this were the reign of the Bourbon kings, not a democratic republic whose right of protest is as sacrosanct as its flag and its seal. ......
....Instead the republic is dominated by political trusts, party machines, media cartels, public sector unions and a million vermin who have sucked the cow dry and are starting in on its tender meat.
Entire states are going bankrupt because of political trusts formed by politicians and public sector unions which pass money back and forth to each other in the plain sight of the taxpayers they are robbing blind.
This is not merely a concentration of wealth, but a ruthless concentration of power. .....The real money isn’t coming from that top 1 percent, it’s coming from unions, lobbies and companies which USE POLITICALPOWER TO EXTRACT PUBLIC MONEY!
The money goes back and forth, lobbyists, unions, politicians, consultants, contractors, activists and lunatics huddling together and passing bills that no one has read. And still the defenders of big government treat any calls for reform as a conspiracy of the rich.
Yet the two richest men in America, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, were holding fundraisers for Obama. And the tenth richest man in America runs one of the biggest bastions of liberalism. And number 14 on the list, George Soros, is the left’s sugar daddy.
the American taxpayer is left lying flat in the street.
