No, Zincman, that doesn't sound crazy at all. In fact, you are echoing my thoughts exactly. I mean that quite literally. The government thrives on maximum commerce, even artificial, contrived, and forced, which easily explains what you wrote. They instigate, invent, and prey on fear, racial tensions, hostility, crime, and hate, then they capitalize on it with a burgeoning government force hired to respond! Likewise, when I see able-bodied welfare recipients and food stamp recipients who don't have to work to survive, it is mind-boggling. I know that it would be logical for our government to require them to perform at least some small degree of labor for their welfare checks. Yet, when I think about why the government doesn't require this, the only reason I can come up with is that the politicians are receiving kickbacks from the companies in their districts that have contracts to wash government vehicles, pick up city/county trash, perform other menial/manual labor, etc. Paying someone to do the work when welfare/food stamp recipients should be doing it is massive fraud, waste, and abuse! Even a man with one arm and one leg can be useful, but, hell, even faking a sore back is like winning a lifelong lottery for these deadbeats and the politicos who sponsor them! Beyond that, think about all the people who profit when a suffering man's life is artificially extended in a hospital against his will! Is there any wonder why the federal government forbids doctor-assisted euthanasia, despite strong public support for it? A dying, suffering man is kept alive for decades while the hospitals, doctors, medical supply chains, pharmaceuticals, union heath care workers, politicians, and all of the ancillary support people and companies profit from his artificial existence of pain and suffering! Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very pro-capitalism/pro-commerce conservative man, but the people who essentially own and run the world have ruined and corrupted the process of good business. The kind of capitalism and commerce that I believe in involves having an idea, marketing the idea, and having people voluntarily pay for the idea (or product/service) if they like it. In contrast, the world's elite see capitalism as them printing money and then paying someone to grab citizens by the throat and violently shake us until all of our assets fall into their hands. -nfg-
