Some people wonder if both political parties are really
different from each other.
If the truth
be known, they are not.
The only
difference is one has an R next the their name and the other a D.
What is the reason for saying this?
Very simple.
They are all part of the Permanent Political Class (PPC) and want
to remain that way.
So both parties
devise schemes to remain in office and if successful get their party in
power.
They do this by extorting money
from corporations and individuals by using the leverage they have by being
members of Congress and especially if they are on important committees.
Of course since they are members of Congress
we cannot use the words extortion or bribery, but must substitute the word
influence that corporations and people are hoping for when they donate to
political campaigns and PAC's.
It is very simple and we see this method used whenever there
is the rumor of pending legislation that may come up and either a group of
companies, (Wall St. firms for example) may have concerns and voice their
objections and low and behold a little while later they may receive a phone
call from a representative of that congress persons soliciting for a campaign
donation and if the solicitor is successful, the propose or pending legislation
suddenly disappears or under the auspices of the leader of the House or Senate,
the legislation is never brought to the floor for a vote.
Today we see this scenario be carried out by the Obama
administration thru the Justice Department, IRS and other various
agencies. The Justice Department may
threaten legal action against companies or the IRS and investigation and just
the hint of such action brings CEO's writing checks to various PAC's to fill
the coffers of these organizations for use in upcoming elections. And God forbid if you speak ill of this
present administration. Just this past
week, JP Morgan Chase paid a huge fine and what precipitated this action was
their CEO, Jamie Dimon speaking out against what the Obama administration was
doing. He signed his death warrant for
the company in doing that. Of course,
using the Justice Department, IRS, EPA and other agencies as a tool for
political gain and profit would never really happen in this country since we
are a Republic and not a Communist, Marxist or Socialist country. So, that is why we call it influence
peddling. We all know that Honesty,
Integrity and Trust are well established in both political parties and they
would never think of resorting to such tactics.
We might even go further and discuss how both parties bribe
their own members by transferring political donations to buy their votes on
pending legislation. And you wonder why when passing a piece of legislation
seemed bleak and all of a sudden there were enough votes, well now you
know.
If we did what members of Congress do everyday, we would all
be in jail and one thing members of Congress on both sides of the aisle want to
make sure is that never happens and will go out of their way to make sure it does
not happen. For this there is
cooperation. A lot of the banter we see
and hear from both sides is really pure unadulterated BS and is only for show
for the public. That is why the entire
Congress must be replaced. Remember
though, criminals will not legislate against themselves so sending them all off
to jail will be difficult. Getting them
out of office can be done, but requires a ground swell of public outcry and do
the voters have that in them or will the voters allow this country to continue
down the path of self destruction.
Our Founding Fathers wanted power to rest with the state
since they knew how power corrupts, but through fancy manipulation by Congress
and the courts, the federal government is consuming all power onto itself and
soon we will all become subjects and not citizens and what we have enjoyed as a
country for over 220 years will be lost.
Either believe the false rhetoric from Washington or wake
up, speak out and demand change and rid our country of these criminals dictating
to us what we can and cannot do. Give
it some very deep thought on what has been happening and decide for
yourself. But you must be honest to
yourself and don't pull the wool over your own eyes.
