Great, great post, Messy.And how did we get here where we're barely able to breathe for the sand piling on in this hourglass we're stuck in?The Federal Reserve Act of 1913. To enslave government. Percentage of interest to debt keeps climbing.
The Income Tax Act of 1913. To enslave the electorate. Enable us to pay the interest the consortium of banks composing the Federal Reserve get when they lend us money.
OPEC allowed to raise the price of crude, higher gas prices, inflation which required higher interest rate than the 12% maximum then in effect to break, i.e. 23% before inflation subsided. But no return to 12% because credit cards were just getting popular and banks needed the higher rates inflation caused.
Cessation of military draft. Can't have the boy next door as a moderating force should the military be asked to quell citizen's unrest.
In a recent related occurrence: Private contractors forming a mercenary army to be paid for by power no longer loyal to the US.
Busting of Air Traffic Controllers Union set the stage for weakening of labor's influence.
Cancellation of Glass Steagle damper on Wall Street greed.
Use of raising gas prices and interst rates on consumer spending to keep citizens off balance. (I call it insidious taxation)
Too, Negative credit incidents since 2008, through no fault of their own, on persons with prior good credit keeps potential consumers from being eligible to purchase big ticket items, such as an automobile. Result: Consumer driven economy remains crippled.
NAFTA, CAFTA, and other so-called free trade pacts have hurt workers in the US, but given jobs to people in third world countries. A plus for them, a minus for us. Needed to be slowly participated in to give US workers time to adjust, but companies couldn't wait to enrich their bottom line, so we staggered about like a punch drunk fighter not knowing what hit us.I wish I could write like you, Messy.
