Hey, hey, before you think I'm sold out, lend me your attention so I
can explain myself. Firstly, the Financial Times said the DEMOCRATIC
CAPITALISM is in crisis, not capitalism, say, as it is China.
Secondly, the Rich already run the country, but do so under the cover
of democracy. When the economy goes bad, the standards of living fall,
money is wasted on wars, politics paralyze the country, jobs go to
China, and corruption runs rampant, we don't know who to blame. Once
the Rich run the country though we may praise or blame them.
So be it that I endorse the Rich. The poor are only good to go to
church and do manual labor.

Wait, are you saying nobody controls our banks and our roads? They
seem to be the rich. They don't even tolerate a bike on the roads, and
that is all about money. Well, you don't need a loan to buy a bike.
You don't need gas either, something they want you to burn. The Toyota
driver is another cog in the machine, a necessary component who may
vote for one party or the other because his only concern is the price
of gas. One dollar more and he may not be able to afford it. Little
things like that determine the elections. The mind of the poor is not
ready for the big deep issues, like Climate Change... too complex, too
scientific. They may repeat what Rush Limbaugh says because he gives
them an "enemy" --liberals and the Taliban. Scientists are to be
dismissed because they support evolution, and that goes against
Jesus.
The Internet is free in the West though the big corporations control
the headlines. It's our only hope --provided we listen to the wise.
Yeah, that's me. Sorry, I'm supposed to be humble.

Yes, but why bother with elections. It is assumed that a ruling elite

Right reasons, wrong conclusion. The beast rules by fear, fear of
terrorism, fear of riding a bike. Hey, you got nothing to lose but
your chain!
How about fear of Hell?

Only those who keep the rest down and want no solution, must be
despised. Only those who display power in an immoral way, deserve
condemnation. It's those that deny LIVING SPACE & DIGNITY to the poor
that should be hated.
It's not that you made money, it's how you use it.
