Heads we lose, tails we flip again.

The economy is connected to housing, retirement, pensions, banking, jobs, and more. On all of these fronts we are not just losing the battle, but losing everything. We haven't even identified the enemy clearly. Pay, housing, civil rights, retirement, medicine, jobs, safety nets, even election standards are battles that are already half lost. We are at the point where most of us can see, if we bother to look, that if we lose this battle we are in dire straights, but if we win this battle, our enemy will not have any real loss and a new battle will start all over. Heads we lose, tails we flip again.

Looks like no political thought is even being seriously debated on as far as correcting real problems economically. The oil industry, war industry and banks are being left alone while teachers, social security and benefits are being targeted as the next source of funds. Our nation and our government are being looted by healthcare preventers. Any examination of the issue shows that our nation cannot possibly support the system as it exists Yet these fine institutions are being protected by our government and by conservatives.

We need to examine this battle and change the venue. It needs to stop being in our backyard. If we are going to fight, it needs to be on the turf of those who are constantly attacking us. We stand to lose everything in these battles. They need to start fearing the same. The battle needs to bypass the spokesmen and the the politicians. They are like grass and will return anew. We need to strike at the head with battles the spokesmen and politicians have to tread carefully around. If we miss, we must strike again!

The sort of attack we need should strike where it hurts. As an example a bill that states that the government will not fund research, development, or resource expansion related to national security where the businesses are evading taxes, or influencing politics. How about a war on dangerous market manipulation?

We can confiscate all the property involved if drugs are suspected, how come we can't do that when insider trading is involved? These are the sorts of battles that the crooks dare not lose. Public option healthcare is another battle that should have been brought right back up the second it fell. Heads our nation wins, tails we flip again!

These are the sort of battles that we need to keep returning to. Over and over, we need to bring these battles up. Battles where the thieves lose if they lose, and break even at best whenever they win. These amendments should be tacked onto any bill the enemy wants passed. If we strike at their insane profits, then we have a chance of striking them at the core.

The rest are just smoke screens

"We can confiscate all the property involved if drugs are suspected, how come we can't do that when insider trading is involved?"

Hell, why can't we do this for ANY and ALL financial crime? Fuck with the public's money, and the first rule is - you pay, and there's nowhere on the planet to hide your wealth. Don't like those marbles, don't get a job handling the public's money.
