trickle down bullshit

[Silverhaze]

Hey I got this from my cousin
thought it might interest some of you:



trickle down bullshit.

okay. there is a 7 HUNDRED BILLION dollar bailout being processed to bail out the banks that went under. this money will go into what we call 'national debt.'
which gets passed on to the taxpayers. (this is you.)

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...ub=CTVNewsAt11

the population of the united states, is roughly 305 million.

http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html

divide 7 billion, by 305 million.

it comes out to about $2300 a person.

these banks have to be kept up, so they can continue collecting the money that the every-man owes them. YOU AND I ARE THE EVERYMAN.

let me ask you this, what could you do with two thousand three hundred dollars, laying around? i could buy a new car, or pay mine off, as well as make it awesome. i could get my own apartment.

now, say you buy a house. you'll probably pay about twice what it's worth before you legally own it.

the thing is, the government doesnt want to help you out. if they did, theyd cut you a fucking check. 2295, give or take about 25 bucks, which you could throw at, oh, i dunno, say. your DEBT to a major banking/mortgaging company to survive at your current standard of living?
nope, instead, they throw the money into saving a bank that tanked out of it's own failed greed. they don't want you to get out of debt, they want you to pay until you die.
now, maybe you're thinking, even if everyone didnt have any of their own debt, at least half of them would spend the $2300 on some bullshit that catches their eye, thus propagating the entire economic system. when people spend, the economy does its little circles. thats why "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself" thing makes sense. people get scared, stop spending their money, and then the economy goes down the shitter.

its going to be this way, because they want you to keep paying. they dont actually want you to break even, and god forbid you get ahead.
money is power, and power, begets power.
they return the money, the 7 hundred billion dollars, to the richest 1% of the population. the banks.

trickle down reaganomic bullshit.
the richest 1% is supposed to let all the benefits of their power 'treacle down' the power pyramid to feed the lower classes.

i dont know about you, but im sick of catching drops of water that fall off the goddamn water tower.

seven hundred billion dollars looks like this, by the way.
700,000,000,000.
thats fucking huge.
and do you know why they return it to the richest 1%?
because they like it.
they like the power.
they are immune to everything.
they can do what they want.
the can, and do, buy and sell people like you and i on a daily basis.
they can, do, and will, kill people, and get away with it.
whatever they want, whenever they want, for as long as they want.

the beat goes on.

fuck that shit, good thing the proposition died. The people SPOKE and congress listened. What is crazy is that all of the news people are ALL spinning this the SAME WAY. Trying to make americans feel bad that this plan failed. Why is noone rejoicing that the government ACTUALLY listened to its PEOPLE this time?

ridiculous

i think the idea was that the gov't was going to save us from economic disaster and now we're screwed. at least that's what the media was trying to convey imo

[Anomalia Zelta]

Ahh the media

I think if the government executed this plan they would further plummet us in economic disaster and now we the people have given them an opportunity to come up with a better plan.

can anyone say "hello amero!"?

[TheFreedomWithin]

Are money isn't even real... just numbers on a computer screen.

A lot of people talk about the need to move away from flawed, old world systems. Our monetary system/federal reserve is one of those... But is it possible to trash it for something more substantial? It would take a HUGE movement or government revolution... and as long as the masses are simi comfortable, they will resist change

[the original watcher]

break down the system!

Don´t hold your breath just yet.

Don´t hold your breath just yet.

i.e. the media will continue brainwashing until Tuesday to get more support of this act
