47. There a thousand hacking at the branches of evil
to the one who will strike the root.

Henry David Thorough


We all would like to change the world but just how far would we go if given that power. A doubling of our wages would buy more game boys but would we demand and pay for the things that would actually change the problems, with any success, or would we just pay more for the same results, since all would now have more money to fund the changes, the politicians on both sides would naturally double the price of said access as well as the news outlets and every supplier of goods and services along the way. Before you attack me as a supporter of the class system as it stands address how I am wrong about this.

Yes the rich can afford to pay more for the labor and still would have a major advantage to control the laws and politics of the country. I would go to some extremes that might not be acceptable to some but would make a difference.

no standing army, kiss those defense jobs goodbye.

no federal reserve, economic collapse on the level of the USSR who is now completely out of debt.

no foreign aid, to anyone while americans go to bed in cardboard boxes and the government is in debt.

no troops in foreign countries, what real service do they provide and to whom, those recipients should hire and pay for their own protection.
