THE WRECKING BAR OF CRITICISM

Since the financial crisis started many millions have slowly come to the realization that the myths of American prosperity that we hear so much about are just that, myths.  Yet it is difficult to abandon these myths.  


I might imagine I am a middle class person but when do I finally confront the fact that I am a worker too and one who every year gets less and less compensation for the work one can get if it can be gotten at all!


But what about the billionaires and millionaires and the armies of experts that ran this economy into the ground?  They got bailed out in less than a year but we are left twisting in the wind with more and more absurd lies coming out of the mouths of Democrats and Republicans alike.


Yet there is this fairy tale out there that we still try to believe that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  Well it should be but it obviously is not a government for the people.  The various branches of government are almost without exception of the rich, by the rich and for the stinking capitalist system whatever the consequences for the rest of us.


Who makes up these fairy tales, fairy tales about how great the economy is and how wonderful the illusions of the past are?  Who makes that up?


Well, we do and they do too.  Only what about the facts, aren't they at least as important of our favorite myths?


Unfortunately we are bombarded with by the channelers of the silly oppressive myths that make up the totality of our own confusion and disorientation.  We are misled and told to think in terms that make no sense.
Then we are led to believe that some trustworthy expert knows better and we are supposed to retire to the background and become passive acceptors of whatever the so-called experts decide.  There is no magic solution but we all need to start by rejecting the false and oppressive "solutions" of the capitalist experts and the bought and sold politicians.  They are even more brainwashed than we are!


So what is wrong and what is a lie and what is hypocritical.  Those are three questions we can all ask when we hear someone say something or read something.  Those are times to reflect and instead of dancing like a fool or playing mental corpse you should think about what the corporations and big government is trying to stuff in your head.


Think for yourself and pretty soon you will be smarter than you ever imagined!
