Big
government allies with big business to the detriment of everyone else. This is
a simple fact that those left of “center” better start taking to heart.
Crony-capitalists, high-powered lawyers, Hollywood studios/moguls, lobbyists,
and Big Labor are all solidly and incestuously in this camp of the powerful.
Big Education (where there are now more
administrators than instructors) and the rest of Big Media sycophantically and
symbiotically cuddle with Big Government even as they attempt to persuade, miss-inform
and help regulate the rest of us. Individuals, small businesses and the middle class as a whole get walloped.
Worse,
Big Labor, through Big Government, takes our taxpayers money and uses it to
lobby those in government to give more to Big Labor, even if it is expressly
against our wishes. What’s more, much of the money they take from us goes into often slick but always
deceiving/misleading ads and commercials to convince us to vote for those candidates and/or policies that are detrimental to us and the nation as a whole…but good for them in the near-term! Candidates and
policies that always expand
government’s- and its public-sector unions- power. Their power over us.
The
government responds to these factions that are “sophisticated” and wealthy
enough to understand and utilize the government’s complexity for their own
gain. Hence Democrats, largely responsible for the immensity and complexity of
government, receive over 70% of lawyers political contributions, as well as the
vast majority of contributions from those in Big Media, Big Education and Big
Labor, of course. The largest U.S. companies, particularly the global giants,
with no particular or unique love for the U.S. (after all, China, India, etc.
are bigger or potentially bigger markets) are more and more flooding the
Democratic coffers with cash. They are “too big to fail” and might need a
government bailout at some point in the future.
Starting
to see the big picture? Angry yet?
This is
why the former community organizer Obama, not the famously wealthy Romney,
carried 8 of America’s 10 wealthiest counties in 2012.
It is
the Democrats that proclaim their love for the “little guy,” yet in reality
piss all over the working class. It is the coastal elites that look down their
noses at the rubes clinging to their God and their guns in fly-over country.
Conservatives don’t promise everything to everybody outside of the “one
percent.” They don’t promise to give everyone “free” healthcare and college
educations, “free” birth-control and abortions, “free” breakfast, lunch and
dinner, and freedom from responsibility and guilt. They know that the money has to come from
somewhere, and that somewhere is taxpayers paychecks. If the administrators, professors and media-types,
et. al., truly dislike the capitalist system and those who make good money, and
really believe that education, etc., should be free, why don’t they simply volunteer…refuse to accept a salary? Or at least take a pay cut? That way everyone
could actually get as close to a free education, etc., as is realistically
possible.
What a great idea, right? Well?
Thought so.
All conservatives promise is to give us back some of our freedom.
And
therefore our country.
They
don’t stand a chance against someone promising “free” birth-to-grave healthcare
for our pets.
