It seems that it got an excessive amount of airplay on our news services that conveniently obscured the critical distinction between the funds that honestly report their revenues and activity and that other group, the affluent tax cheats.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-18410606431923296972017-12-19T13:10:48.281-08:002017-12-19T13:10:48.281-08:00Anyong....Word is, the government has invested man...Anyong....Word is, the government has invested many of our Pension funds overseas.

As you point out, the solutions to problems such as wealth inequality and the resulting degradation of democracy are well-known and empirically tested. They involve confiscatory taxes on the rich with harsh enforcement, cheap or free university and college education, antitrust action to break up cartels and monopolies, and laws that facilitate labour organization to drive up wages. <br /><br />But the oligarchs who the politicians ultimately serve prefer the problems to the solutions, and enough of us are willing to go along. Until we as a society decide we prefer the solutions, things won't change. Make no mistake, this change won't happen through the ballot box. And until we stop amusing ourselves to death through television, social media and other addictive entertainment, it won't happen at all. We're in Huxley's <i>Brave New World</i> and are willingly surrendering our rights and freedoms for a little more "soma."<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-23509977833287857422017-12-18T15:56:26.965-08:002017-12-18T15:56:26.965-08:00Couldn't agree more on all counts.
