Money and Politics- Satire -



Money and Politics -  A Satire -

because if I were to lay bare the gravity of the offenses it would resonate throughout the Cosmos to crack the vaults of heaven- so grievous are the sins of wealth in our time....;)

ha! I waxed eloquent...;)

Money, the Republicans say the tortured legalisms that allow unfettered spending by imitation public welfare groups like Hushed Limbaugh and CrossRoads, and Alec  which intends to rewrite our Constitution one life-killing morsel at a time have not affected Democracy.  Well if not, it has certainly put the CRAZY back in to Democracy.  Democrazy is the Republican Brand that wants us to burn fossil fuels until we die-off like every other dominant species with the difference being- we had a choice. Oil and water don't mix and fracking will leave us with less water to drink and grow crops.

Money has transformed Democracy into a battle for survival for the political majority.  Ignorance has reduced the capacity of our people to govern. Now, they cannot find truth in the deluge of messages, and often vote against their interests. Such as

electing any Republican to office who then attempts to prevent voters from voting- in a Democracy these people should be shunned:

electing leaders who openly sell out to interest groups_ the No tax pledge is a conflict of interest, we elect them to use their best judgment for our benefit, not to swear allegiance to a No-Tax God;

Electing people who are bound to Conservative principles- which are non-existent until someone makes them up on the spot, and btw  the word "no" is not an effective way to govern when the people ask for the word "yes"

Has money transformed US Politics-- is the Pope Catholic-

Has money destroyed the Democratic Process in the US- sadly, yes, and there is little doubt. We can have a debate on needs and priorities and no one suggests abolishing Derivatives Trading- this is the food stamp./welfare. never fear for money again for the wealthy-- sucks investment capital out of the economy

Can we have another year where one House of the Congress makes war on the US economy  - yes,  and it will continue until Democracy bares its teeth, and reminds the wealthy there are more poor and needy than rich...

I am convinced that the poor are in pain now, no longer willing to sit idle while we need jobs and so many things to make the country grow. I think this election cycle in 2014 will either be a revelation or a prelude to deeper change akin to revolution-- It is pain after all that makes the animal learn- to the human animal, a world filled with pain is a patient and thorough teacher.
