PopGun Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 A serious question. When the last remaining public sector workers have been set alight on their crosses; After the all the boomers, elderly and sick have been culled; Once all the poor, disenfranchised youth and unemployed have been ground down and turned into cattle feed........ Who do the bankstas and elites deflect the blame against next? The Self Employed? Mormons? Dinner Ladies? Men with beards? Simon Cowell? Will YOU be the subject of their propaganda for the ignorant?!? We were once told to “follow the money”, however the only things people tend to follow these days are false headlines and witch hunts. The funny thing about witch hunters, was that often they didn’t actually do any of the burning. They just pointed at their chosen victims, and just let the mob deal with the grisly rest. How pertinent. One day the people will wake up and work out the root cause of all our predicaments, and the root cause will be jettisoned from our society.

Nice one: I do find it quite amusing that all the free market loonies seem to be totally unaware that the next people to be gobbled up by the out of control globalisation behemoth will be them...the working class has already been stripped of its dignity, prospects and finances...the next available pool of the money for the plutocrats to gobble up is that of the entrepeneurial and middle class.

How pertinent. One day the people will wake up and work out the root cause of all our predicaments, and the root cause will be jettisoned from our society. The negotiations between the rich and the poor over the next few generations will be fascinating. It is in the rich's self interest to share enough with the poor that the poor don't take what they need to survive by force. It is in the poor's self interest to not ask for so much from the rich that they decide to leave for a less redistributive society. My expectation is that both sides are too foolish to understand their own self interest and that we will see a small number countries with small populations with a lot of wealth because they actively recruit wealthy people (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore, New Zealand etc) and a large number of countries with large populations with no wealth as they actively pass laws which rich people won't accept (the UK, the USA, France etc). By its nature, democracy is not an efficient way to carry out the negotiation between rich and poor because fo wealth distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day the people will wake up and work out the root cause of all our predicaments, and the root cause will be jettisoned from our society. Why will the people wake up? It's not like thieving banksters is a new phenomenon. As an example the Rothschilds have been wealthy since before Waterloo, they became stupendously wealthy after that. At no time have enough people woken up together to change things since 1812, why should they ever wake up? That's the secret of the silent parasite. We are all living in the bankers matrix.

Edit: Just a question "PG", when you say "bankstas", do you mean the banks' owners (shareholders) or high level employees (directors)?

Lucifer Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 loonies who are the ones who want to cease the monopoly that the plutocrats have over money All free marketers are loonies, free markets don't work, the freerer they get the more they slide into concentration of power and wealth and the more corrupt, and less free, they become. The free marketer response to this is "we don't have a free market, markets would work properly if only they were more free," a philosophy which only speeds up the corruption of the market. So, yes, loonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traktion Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 loonies who are the ones who want to cease the monopoly that the plutocrats have over money It's depressing to have to keep repeating this stuff day after day, isn't it? With a free market, the big banks would have collapsed. Hell, the whole twisted state backed cartel might have gone down with it. Moreover, there wouldn't have been such a big boom in the first place. But hey, lets not let that get between a man and his socialist rantings!

Lucifer Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) What works less badly than a free market? A market where the tendency of unfettered capitalism towards greed, corruption and exploitation is subject to a degree of regulation to curb the worst of it excesses. Simple. P.S. Free markets in the sense you mean don't exist anyway, paradoxically a regulated market will be "freer" than an unregulated one.

LuckyOne Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 A fair market? Then we get into a situation where people like Blair, Brown, Darling, Balls, Milliband, Cooper, Harman et al are given the power to determine what "fair" is. I would rather let fear, greed, success and failure have control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
