Re: The good thing about politics is...

politicians are good people. they have wonderful senses of humor and they're very intelligent. The problem is the lobbyists and the special interest groups which manipulate the politicians via every technological and fiduciary avenue available. The problem isn't the politicians. It's the system. It's capitalism. Capitalism is wrong. It's dirty, it's awful. It's where only the wealthiest survive and have despotism. America is a republic. not a democracy.
capitalism enslaves people.
I am proud to be a prole. I've paid my taxes and I will entitle myself to every government handout that I am eligible for. I believe in America. Hate proles if you must, but I find being under the rule of capitalism more despicable. My family has paid it's taxes for over a hundred years. All the government did was repossess our property because it was valuable and demand us to pay more taxes because we could afford them.
Then I, as a guinea pig, submitted to the treatments and prescriptions of the FDA and the AMA.
The federal government, the USA, owes me money. Quite a bit.
We fought for freedom in their wars, we always pay our taxes, we buy their products and we serve in many capacities as agents and diplomats and so will our offsprings as that is our heritage:social servant.
They owe me a check. a large one. I'm crazy, you know. I have the papers to prove it.
I'm so fortunate to be American.
