Do you smell that foul odor emanating from the halls of government? Everyone knows our government was formed by the people, specifically for the people, and is governed by the rule of law. So surely it cannot be from the “sweetheart deals” made between our leaders and their corporate sponsors, but there it is right under everyone’s noses. Our leaders have transformed the words “for the people” into “for the corporations.” We the people are no longer relevant.
At all levels of government ties to corporations have become so pervasive the people have little or no say in anything that counters corporate interests. Rather than protecting the people’s interest, government has become the willing partner to further corporate ends. The sole purpose of government, at all levels, seems to exist only to support business and their quest for greater profit. We see this by the constant push by government to grow our nation both in terms of more people whether legally or illegally, and the economy. There is little concern about the cost of growth as long as government and corporations share the wealth at the expense of the people.
Whole state departments are devoted to encouraging growth of their respective states. Nearly every facet of business has a number of large groups devoted to insuring they are well cared for by Congress. Collectively, the voices of business drown out the cries of the people for tax relief because government conveniently assumes we are responsible for growth so we should pay for it. Government also assumes that business needs tax breaks, grants, low cost insurance, direct loans, trade protection, unjustified special interest loopholes in the tax code, and other incentives or economic growth will cease. And, also, their own selfish interests would wither.
Our founding fathers created a system of free enterprise in which government was to stay out of the way of business. Unfortunately, government had, without the people’s consent, devised a fascist system (“the corporate state”) patterned after that of Benito Mussolini. The corporate welfare system is mutually beneficial for both government and business. The former gains power, while the latter gains greater wealth and also power to impose their will on the people.
No matter how you look at it, we the people are being scammed, fleeced, by our government to the tune of billions of dollars in corporate subsidies. Why should we be subsidizing ethanol production when it takes more energy to produce ethanol than we gain? Should we the people subsidize global corporations by contributing our tax monies to the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the International Monetary Fund, or in fact any subsidies? It’s beyond comprehension why we the people must endure $4.00 gasoline while corporate oil companies enjoy billions in profit, while receiving subsidies.
When will government realize that our Constitution is our supreme law and act accordingly? The preamble says, “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America..”
The chaos created by those of greed and power are destroying our Constitution.. It is time for the citizens to awake to the realities of what is happening by special interests, the desire for socializing the country, destruction and ignoring of our laws, and for each one of us to understand the consequences of our inactions to stop this assault on our sovereignty. Let’s rid the stench, now!
