A thinking blogger

A BLOG SOMEONE SENT TO ME. Okay so it's a pipe dream but one can still dream it. It's correct in so many ways. Money big money is the nature of the beast and its total corruption in this nation. Trump is simply a symptom of capitalism gone haywire. In my opinion though revolution is out of the question especially a violent one. The beast, will never be tamed in the way the blogger would want it to be ... ever but I thought it fun to read anyway. At least someone is thinking.


BLOGGER:

"The real issue isn't hunger, or illness, or the cost of living or the cost of education. The real issue is capitalism. We have opted for an economy and a government at every level that is controlled by corporations. We have a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.

And those corporations, with their lackeys in the controlled media have brainwashed the people into thinking that there is very little poverty in the US and that the poor seeking help are lazy, good for nothing, ne'er-do-wells.

This neoliberal capitalism is destroying our country, causing untold suffering for millions and creating the most unequal society in the developed world with the highest rate of child poverty and greatest number of poor people in prison in the developed world.

We need a revolution. We have to take break the corporations' grip on our government and on our daily lives. We have to start breaking all these businesses up once they reach a certain valuation, we have to greatly increase their taxes, make it impossible through taxation for one more billionaire to be made in the US.

And most of all we have to start insisting that every cent be taken out of politics and enforce term limits for every office, including the SCOTUS and Congress. Then we have to insist that government cease its working for corporations and insist it work for us, the people, by adequately funding the things people need instead of shoveling trillions into the sewer of the military industrial complex and fighting endless wars all over the globe."
