Thanks!
I won't get into political sniping. At this stage of the game politics is really a non event.
If you think that Obama, McCain or even Ron Paul can change the future on this you are not aware of the scope of the problem.
All US administrations in recent memory worked for the benefit of large corporations. Large Corporations do not work for the benefit of the employees.
20 years ago I wrote a thesis on Globalization and free trade. My conclusion then, is the same now. If you do not make your living off the divedends of stocks of large multi national corporations, in the end you are screwed.
Open skies, fifth freedom, exporting of mx offshore, large corps leaving to go to cheaper shores is all the symptoms of the same problem. That problem is government has allowed business to have a free ride at the expense of the US taxpayer.
Now throw in oil, and the fact that oil is traded in USD. Every transaction that occurs hides monetary inflation in the usa. Realize that its a finite commodity, and the large corporations who control oil want the money now.
The end game, you will see the looting of America. From pension funds to social security to the price you pay for a loaf of bread. Corporate carpet baggers have stolen your future. The lies used are everything from Human Rights to Cheaper prices for the consumer to the War on terror. All of the above are the means to the end. The end is a form of indentured servitude.
Thousands of years of human rights from the magna carta on are about to be trampled not by despots, but by corporations with the blessings of politicians that are bought and paid for.
Sounds like a wild conspiracy I know. The only way to prove it is to ask you to look at what is happening all around us everyday. Do you really think that the world will be better off in 20 years than it is today? Or your kids will have a better lifestyle? Where will they work?
The two main candidates will not/ or cannot change this. RP says it, but his change will destroy us too. The only thing to do is to know its coming and protect yourseld and your family as much as possible.
The political popularity contest is no longer a factor. The sooner some of you realize that the better.
Rant off-- flame away guys
