Someone Has to Pay.

In these troubling times and even harder ones to come one might think it is reasonable to worry about who is going to pay? More and more falling into debt, losing homes, unemployed all equates to less and less tax revenue all the way around. You do not need to be a Rhodes Scholar to understand what that means. It has literally struck every family and 2009 will be even harder on our state and local government and families and people. However, will it be so hard on the wealthy, the Bankers, the Corporate Giants who have moved America off shore, will it? You know those All American companies who no longer hire Americans or make things here. Will it really? Now think about that carefully when you pick up your phone to call customer service.
So in all they do their efforts are at helping those who control the purse strings of the nation. I was meandering through the Web the other day and came across all the companies that belong to the CFR Council on Foreign Relations and low and behold, why wouldn't it be, all the major companies were part of that organization. Yes just like many in our government in key positions. Nothing strange about that you think? Well I think the opposite, birds of a feather do flock together as do loyalties.
So when you search, hope, pray understand this, you, if you are average and poor are not in the equation. You are not who they talk to. You are not who they say they love or worry about. No not even the middle class. They only throw them a bone because they have what is left of any wealth. Yes, those who have wealth will have to pay the freight. Simply speaking that includes anything that is now hidden and tucked away. Savings, trusts, retirements you name it someone has to pay. Even the dead will pay. Those who left money to families and have estates will have to pay. There are no others to take from even if they claim to take from corporations.
Why, well who else can? Zero from zero is still zero. So If people under $50,000 a year won't pay, just who will? Yes, now you got it, YOU WILL. It really is as simple as that. Rhetorically one might ask what is the real menace that has destroyed this nation? Well strictly an opinion but I think what is below should be considered.
The quote mentioned below is about 90 years old, yet it is in my opinion very significant today if one can stop, take everything into perspective and consider what is happening in our nation and why? The similarities are in my opinion quite amazing if one looks at it with an open mind.
"The Real menace to our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses. This little coterie runs our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self created screen, seizes legislative bodies, school our executives offices, courts, newspapers and every agency created for public protection".
NY Mayor John Hyland. 1918 - 1925
Now was this man a psychic? Does this quote leave you to wonder? No he wasn't a psychic but he was able to understand the signs and symbols all about him. He was able to see, understand and grasp what was taking place in the work and deeds of these bankers and wealthy. Yes in what they did and didn't do.
One can only end with asking do you?

It is really obvious that while we are a professing nation we really are not who we profess to be. Now many will get upset with that and perhaps they should yet the truth is quite obvious. I have written and written and written thinking mind you we are a moral nation and that indignation would swell up and take action. Well truth be told how far is that from reality and truth. 40 million on BCS tickets alone, without lodging, travel and other expenses says it all. What else shall one list? The bottom line is really what I write to in a society that cares not for truth equals nada, nothing, zero. Just ink on a page, no more, no less. My sincere thanks for your time and interest and words.Please log in to respond to this comment.
