Except for a relatively small clique, people in the United States exist as slaves. We are forced at gunpoint to give them money and property to use in any way they choose. In the United States, citizens literally own nothing. We merely possess property, materials, and the fiat currency. The government and its masters own everything each citizen possesses. Citizens simply lease it from them. If one fails to pay and obey, the government can and will send armed agents to the citizen's home to repossess what they deem and claim as theirs. Indeed, the government can send armed agents to a citizen's home at any time to seize everything the citizen possesses, imprison the citizen for life, or murder him/her. One would have to spend every dime he/she owns in legal fees in a futile attempt to stave them off, but ultimately, if they are determined to ruin a person, they can easily do so, as they often prove. We exist under armed tyranny. We exist under armed oppression and the threat of violence, torture, and death from the government. We live as slaves. The Wall Street bail out. The banking bail out. The automotive industry bailout. The real estate bail out. The faux-stimulus, redux. In each case, the voting public demanded in overwhelming numbers that Congress NOT rescue those who made risky decisions and lost. In each case, the government ignored the collective will of the citizens, robbed citizens at gunpoint, and gave the money to their political donors, friends, and masters.
