We are all slaves

[jtssrx]

It goes deeper then buying things you need. Do you think the money for the home you bought comes from money deposited by people at banks. If you do you're a fool. The money is created out of thin air at the fed. We pay interest on money that doesn't exist. 

 

Look at advertising, marketing, movies, sports , music entertainment it's all mind manipulation. It's all about controlling us. 

 

This Colin Kapernik thing is the same thing. h s just a pawn being used to divide us and keep us enslaved

I'm not saying they don't have influence but I think we overestimate it a bunch.   These politicians ideals often already match up with those people.   I think we take this Manchurian candidate thing a bit far at times.  I mean if I'm pro gun and take money from Winchester is that somehow influencing me?

You really are brainwashed (or naive) and they must love your no corporate taxes mantra.

You're wrong. Everything we've Ben told is slow. It's all planned out. they are lying to us about everything

MC the socialist!  So corporations do nothing good?   How about your brothers business?   Why are only large corporations to blame?  As for these HUGE tax breaks why not go ahead and name some.  I'd be curious to hear them.

What I like best in your little world is how for education, military, police/fire (what you think of as good) the taxpayers and the govt are one in the same yet when it comes to govt subsidies, grants ext somehow its only the taxpayer and not the govt.  Why are they different for those govt things?

You act as if all corporations are these living breathing stand alone entities.   Corporations are no different than the govt.   They are groups of people.  They do good, they do bad.   Neither corps or the govt is exempt.   I think its hilarious that you love the govt which in all essence is the worlds largest corporation.   

Your looking at the small picture. Open your eyes and you will see beyond the small business and see what they really are is just baitfish for the big corps.

imagine our country without laws and regulations.

Soros for one, the Koch,s on the other side and many on wall street. They influence political decisions far more than the entire electorate ever could.

The TPP for one example. If average Americans could decide trade practices they certainly wouldn't creat a trade agreement that would fuck every American worker up the ass.

We have been enduring a hard sell on this so called global economy for the past twenty five years. It as if we have no choice. We do, and could simply go back to real job creation in the us by making products here and placing tariffs on imports as was done for the many years we saw great prosperity. We would however have to stop buying garbage that lasts two years, throwing it away and buying more. We would have to find new hobbies that do not include shopping. This would be a big change for the young people but anyone over fifty may adapt easily. Lets face facts, the global economy is a Ponzi scheme.

That'd be nice.  I just do not see it though.  We are now little more than a country of consumption and service.  Large manufacturing operations (and jobs) have been making the move out of the US for a while now, and I don't see the trend slowing. In a world economy, these companies have to compete.  And that leaves the American workers sucking wind.

If corporations are considered people then they should not be able to escape their tax liability.
