Ever wonder how American politicians may have become multi-millionaires working on a U.S. government salary paid for by American taxpayers, as well as these politicians being allowed to collect lavish benefits for life? Well, if you are married to an elected politician in America you have been allowed for decades now to secure ‘sweetheart’ financial and trade deals for your families’ companies that do business with China, in return for not ‘getting tough’ on China’s trade practices with America. No wonder nothing ever seems to get done legislatively in the ‘deep state’ swamp of Washington D.C. to protect working, middle class American taxpayers’ jobs and wealth from going to China.
Critics charge America’s ‘elites’, the elected political leaders, and elected members from both Republican and Democrat Parties, including former U.S. Presidents, plus corporate CEOs whose corporations rely on trade with China, as well as Wall Street high finance titans have ‘sold out’ the working, middle class American taxpayers to attain great wealth for themselves, their families and the companies they represent.
Yes, too many of America’s political and high finance elite may be ‘in bed’ with, meaning may have been corrupted by, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). You rarely hear the political elite and Wall Street titans in America, with ties to China, ever ‘bad mouthing’ China. In fact, it is just the opposite. You too often hear these American CCP sycophants defending and praising the way the CCP runs China and then they too often turn around and attack those political leaders in America that are seeking to help working, middle class American taxpayers. And even if these American sycophants do ‘bad mouth’ China periodically, it is too often just ‘lip service’ to make voters think they are on the side of working, middle class American taxpayers when, in fact, they are not and are more interested in getting wealthy at the taxpayers’ expense.
Meanwhile, China’s ‘best and brightest’, high paid intellects are used by the CCP to win the war in artificial intelligence (AI) by stealing, hacking and infiltrating America’s top secrets held by U.S. politicians, big business and Silicon Valley while, unfortunately, America’s ‘best and brightest’, high paid intellects are ‘getting wasted’ hired by Silicon Valley’s elite, billionaire oligarchs to too often do little more than create online games and optimize advertisements at social media networks. Russian President for life, Vladimir Putin, and Tesla founder, Elon Musk, both said whoever wins the AI war will control the world.
Just to name a few of the U.S. political figures and international corporate conglomerates that, critics charge, have ‘sold out’ working, middle class American taxpayers to make themselves and their own families rich, to date, this includes U.S. Senate majority leader, Republican Mitch McConnell, U.S. House of Representatives majority leader, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, longtime U.S. Senator from California, Democrat Diane Feinstein and too many more to name here, as well as famous name brand companies like Apple, Taco Bell, Nike, Starbucks, the National Basketball Association (NBA) and many others, and not to be left out arguably many world famous, and not-so-famous, high finance titans from Wall Street.
So how does it all stay so well hidden from the American public? The fact is… complexity favors those who are well-connected.
These days, too many of America’s political leaders, the big tech oligarchs and leaders in high finance can ‘cover up’ this complex system using the smokescreen of progressive ‘woke’ (social justice/awareness values) rhetoric to incite actions and protests across America to distract a naïve, virtually clueless American public. This ‘cover up’ is similar to the way the U.S. federal tax code has been kept conspicuously complicated for decades all to benefit those who are well-connected, or in power, or with ‘know how’ to take advantage and/or ‘game’ the system to ‘rake in’ obscene profits and accumulate great wealth.
Ever noticed how the U.S. Congress, whose salaries and bountiful benefits are paid for by American taxpayers, always seems to pass major, big spending legislation, like Obamacare, at the last minute so no one really has time to read the thousands of pages outlining the big spending legislation they are even voting for? For example, the trillion dollar, five thousand page, stimulus Covid-19 Special Interest Lobbyist Relief bill passed by the U.S. Congress in December, 2020, critics charge, gave ‘crumbs’ to the unemployed, ‘out of work’ American taxpayers while giving away billions of American taxpayers’ dollars in foreign aid and special interest, ‘woke’ social engineering projects to ‘prop up’ struggling, emerging market, East Asian democracies, as well as help Afghanistan persuade Afghan women to join the military against their centuries-old cultural norms, not to mention a ‘gender equality’ program for Pakistan, and border security for Middle East nations, renewable energy programs for Africa, and millions of dollars to the Smithsonian Museum and The Kennedy Center For The Arts, including legislation to make illegal ‘streaming online’ a felony, to standardize horse racing to list just a few of the favors done for American politicians and lobbyists in this trillion dollar Covid-19 Relief bill paid for by taxpayers while 20 million Americans go unemployed and/or stand in food lines or go hungry.
Remember, most foreign aid never reaches the people it is intended to help but instead too often too much of it goes to the foreign government leaders who steal the American taxpayer dollar foreign aid for themselves and their families. Bottom line? Both the Republican and Democrat Parties in America voted to pass this massive taxpayer giveaway to foreign nations and to American special interest ‘pet projects’ as they have been doing for decades in America. Both political parties are nothing more than opposite banks along the same stream and cannot be trusted with the wealth of working, middle class American taxpayers.
The notion that complexity favors those who are well-connected, nowadays, we are watching that notion also taking over science as well during the pandemic of 2020. Too few of us even questions or investigates anymore the so-called “science” and so-called medical statistics used to rob us of our freedom and wealth.
Now, try to follow this long-winded notion. Too few of us question or investigate the specific demographics of those who die or do not die from the corona virus, or those who get sick or do not get sick once people get infected by the corona virus compared to areas in America, and around the world, where there are no mask and no social distancing mandates, compared to areas where there is mandated mask wearing and social distancing, compared to areas where there are total lockdowns, compared to those areas with limited or no lockdowns, compared to how many people are actually getting sick and/or are dying “FROM” the corona virus, as well as the flu, or dying “WITH” the corona virus, as well as the flu, or dying from suicide or drug addiction during the pandemic of 2020, as well as compared to pre-corona virus years. Whew! This is because we have been told by those well-connected to simply accept and do not question the so-called complex, “science” and medical statistics that the well-connected feed us every day concerning the corona virus.
And if you were to really question or investigate the “science” and the medical statistics, the comparisons noted above only scratch the surface of what “science”, medical statistics and the effects of government actions should be getting gleaned and broadcast to the public EVERY DAY from the effects of the corona virus pandemic of 2020. Instead, concerning corona virus deaths, sickness and infections, too often we only get one-sided, invalid, unreliable information fed to us every day as relatively, indisputable facts by politicians, the news media, social media networks and the online search engine oligarchs.
So how can we try to rid ourselves of the well-connected U.S. politicians that choose to enrich themselves and their families over and above what could be in the best interest of working, middle class American taxpayers? The answer is voting in term limits for every political leader in America.
Unfortunately, currently, when term limits are even talked about for elected political leaders, the politicians always set a 25-year limit for being able to serve as an elected official for the U.S. government. What a joke! Term limits should be set for no more than two terms no matter what elected political office is held, then they have to go back to work in the private sector or elsewhere, and they have to be forbidden by law from ever becoming registered lobbyists for life once they are elected to any political office in America.
Term limits may be the only way to ‘drain the swamp’ of the well-connected, political elites in Washington D.C. before they set in motion the political process to drain the spirit and wealth from working, middle class American taxpayers…or is it too late already?
Evil prevails when good people fail to act…or maybe nowadays…evil just prevails.
