You Can’t Run From Govt. Policies, But You Can Prepare

Will we take to the streets? Most likely.

The first problem is that our government is not run by those who elect it.

Politicians are caught between a rock and a hard place because business runs government and the people elect it. Politicians have a difficult time staying in office and also doing the bidding by those pulling the strings.

It seems business controls the legislation, the regulations, the jurisprudence, and the policies.

The fact that the people defeated the tobacco industry was almost an unnatural event.

The financial industry deregulated the regulators in the 90’s. The health care bill seems to serve the pharmaceutical industry as much as the populace. A few large entities control the food we eat and give the high social and environmental costs back to the public domain.

We get led in the direction we too easily follow.

Food, Inc, a movie about the food industry available on Netflix.com is a great start on how fast food created a factory oriented food industry to supply the demand. When McDonalds becomes the largest customer for meat and potatoes, they have a lot of control.

When 30% of our land is used for growing corn and that crop is subsidized by the government (taxpayers) it puts into motion an uncontrollable force. The fact that according to Food, Inc one out of three people born after 2000 will have diabetes is a social cost and result of that force.

When health care hijacks the national debate and budget instead of health creation, it demonstrates the forces at work are controlling the focus of the debate and the government is curing the wrong problems.

When 1% of the people are rich and business is flush with capital while people lose their homes, can’t find jobs, can’t afford medical care, and have lost their retirement savings, the system looks stacked.

It says that even as voters we have lost sight of reasonable, responsible objectives.

We took money that was too easy. We eat cheap thinking that there are no long term costs to be paid. We demand services to our communities or we won’t keep our politicians in office.

To be independent and free, people need to be independent and self reliant. We need to take care of our own health. We need to produce and spend according to our incomes. We need to demand parity, accountability, and transparency in legislation, regulations, taxes, jurisprudence costs, and policies.

We need to finance elections and eliminate lobbyists.

We are headed by a government that has printed too much money in order to remain in power and given too much power to those who have money.

The inequities are too large and the solutions not sufficient.  We have to be responsible and demand responsibility. Other wise we also, in frustration, will head to the streets. We will get shot by rubber bullets we paid for.
