Are you in agreement?
I feel strongly about this, but don't want to be some nattering nabob over here.
I'm an engineer, with fundamental faith in the ability of citizens to create any kind of future we want, but truly see an oppressive machinery of cartelized gov't/enterprise, with Bush Inc. being the poster-cartel, that is numbing and terrorizing the citizenry into stupid compliance.
It's all about money and accountability. With 40% tax rate, the self-perpetuating predatory gov't is incorporating backroom industrialist deals, and continuing to grow towards an almost fascist arrangement. It isn't a grand plan, so much as it is a grandly-expanding problem, nothing not forseen by Jefferson and the rest of the folk getting rid of the Royal Court of George of England. It was complicated then, and complicated now, but the simple part is being overtaxed, underinformed, and a passion for increasing centralization of power.
The revolution to reduce gov't and increase citizen power will probably be launched by liberally-educated, fiscally and socially-conservative engineering types, who expose the double-think, and create alternative solutions, in energy, usage of money, and some way to get clear channels to the truth, without psychobabble and psy-ops warfare-controlled media. |
