I couldn't have said it better.
Wake up America! The people of other developed countries see and laugh at us now.
America is on the verge of becoming powerless.
Who works in the food service industry? the gas stations? the internet support rooms? etc etc? NOT americans. We've been driven to unemployment.
Saw an article the says unemployment spike has occurred and they don't know why. HUH?. Is the news media that stupid? They are reporting mass
lay-offs and don't know why there has been a rise in unemployment claims.
To support nydsdan in the previous post...
Here is proof of what the "bankers mentality" is all about.
BANKERS MANIFESTO
We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion.
Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our
designs without fear of any organized resistance.
Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in
our interest or disrupt them.
At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism
to our designs as may require force to overcome.
This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through
combination (conspiracy) and legislation.
The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.
When, through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes,
they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm
of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.
People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men
who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.
The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the
reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.
By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common
herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.
