Can We Just Agree that Everything is Fake? The American Aristocracy is Real.
I do not know if the MSM actually tries to deviate from the truth or if they just don’t care anymore. But I hope we can all agree on one thing, that everything is fake. It’s not about Left or Right at all. We are led to believe everyday that our country’s biggest problems come down to the fact that the parties can’t get along. The Right obstructs everything the left tries to do (which I am not saying is entirely an outright lie). Or the Left can’t stick to their virtues on any policy (which I am not saying is entirely an outright lie).
No, in fact, our problem lies in the fact that there are people in this country that wish to make an aristocracy for themselves, and indeed it is working. At an alarming pace I might add. We are on the verge of a Machiavellian society where those that have shall rule those that don’t and with whatever fervor they see fit to keep those in their places. Wall Street rises while the Middle Class falls into oblivion. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. And history is doomed to repeat itself.
It is only a matter of time before we succumb to this overtaking by the people that have used our system for their own personal gain because they could. Who in our government actually believes in or follows the Constitution anymore? The Right cries that our freedoms are being overrun because their guns, marriages, and God are being taken away. The Left cries that nothing can be done because no one will let them.
It is all a façade.
Bought and paid for by the American Aristocracy.
Manufactured lies that weigh on the fears of everyday people who worry about how they will pay their bills, feed their children, and make a somewhat pleasant life for themselves. These lies are generated purposefully to keep citizens at bay, fighting amongst themselves over ideological beliefs that have no real impact on how we live our everyday lives. Or how we should be living them. It is a matter of mass distraction. A slight of hand trick to keep people from focusing on what is really happening.
And what is really happening is frightening.
What is really happening is that we are owned. We are owned by the wealthiest in this country, and that was the plan all along. These plans were set in motion long ago to assure that the wealthy and powerful stayed wealthy and powerful. And because of this our government has become a shadow organization to ensure these people keep their stature as they see fit. And it is continuing to happen. The privatization of everything does not help our economy, and it never was intended to. The sole cause of privatization is to help those that own those businesses become wealthier and more powerful.
Prisons are overcrowded, schools are being closed down, and poverty is on the upswing. And yet, we fight about something as trivial as who people should or should not love. While they find way to take over the prisons, schools, and anything else they can get their hands on. Because they can.
It is true that there are a few politicians who may not be paid for entirely by money of those that try to oppress us. And thank goodness to whatever you believe in because that is the only thing saving us from virtual serfdom (because even if we did have that, no one from the Aristocracy would admit that, serving to keep the people happy in their places). But it certainly is not enough.
I know I am preaching to the choir as it were by posting this here.
But when do we say, enough is enough? How do we fix this, being the little people that we are? We know everything is fake. We do. But if the people keep ignoring it en masse, how shall we keep from the future to come? I, for one, shudder for my future.

And sadly, it does seem that politics is one realm that we cannot control. Which I thought was the whole point of a democracy in the first place. 
I'm even anti-death penalty..but have put aside my deep feelings for the greater good.
Jail would be a fair action for the bastards but we both know (sadly) that "it ain't gonna' happen"
being that I am a lesbian myself. Trust me, I do not find it trivial at all. Thank you for your support. 
Who'd a thunk it. 
of income and capital gains tax on the wealthy.
Primarily, that's the result of differences in tax policy, within an economic structure that is otherwise nearly identical. So when I read "its all fake" and other "destroy it all and start over" sentiments, my first thought is that's just stupid and ineffective. If all the people who buy into libertarian or anarchic or antique ideological fatalism would just educate themselves and vote for a more fair tax system, perhaps there would be some real change.
It's already happened. We've already crossed the line. One reason people came out en masse to vote for Obama was because they thought he could help right this ship. It just wasn't possible with the PTB, and we have kept going down that bad path instead.
