“Government of the Few, by the Few, for the Few". How America has become an "Oligarchy Dominated by the Billionaires and Ultra-Rich while everyone else is being disenfranchised:

"It is capitalism, not government, that is the problem. The fusion of corporate and state power means that government is broken. It is little more than a protection racket for Wall Street. And it is our job to wrest government back. This will come only through the building of mass movements" ~ Chris Hedges

injustice

As Americans, we take pride in being a capitalistic country. But in the last few decades, real capitalism has been vanished and has been replaced with cronyism or "Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor".

Back in the 70s, there was a time that people cared about the truth, about each other or workers right. But crony capitalism and consumerism have been dismantling those priorities, to the point that people DON’T care about the truth or each other anymore. Instead they worship greed and compassion has very little place in our society. As a result, evil corporate forces have destroyed our democracy and many environmental laws and regulations have been dismantled for maximizing corporate profit, often at the expense our health and well-being. A chaotic economy and a power hungry-mad government dominated by psychopaths and demagogues are an indication on how our democratic institutions have been trashed and our voices shut down in the so called “electoral process”.

The rich and powerful in corporate America donate billions of dollars into our political system in order to influence the election results, poison our environment and inhabitant, promote rogue regimes and chaos across the globe, and suffocate the voices of environmentalists and civil right activists. A big flow of money into our political system is an indication on how our elected officials are just out there for sale and the public interests and well-being is being compromised and often exchanged for political favors and pay-to-play rules.  As author and scholar Chris Hedges says “We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”

Here are top 10 irrefutable facts that we are socializing the loss and capitalizing the gain, often at the expense of the taxpayers in favor for the rich and privileged in America; so let’s call this system for what it is “An Oligarchy Dominated by the Billionaires and Ultra-Rich”: 

1. Bailing out the banks - The Actual Size of Bank Bailout was revealed: $29,000,000,000,000 ($29 Trillion)!

During the 2008 financial crisis, our leaders made a decision to bailout the banks and give $700 billion to almost a trillion (of our tax dollars) to banks. With the bailout money, the banks didn’t lift a finger to help anyone and instead the big banks bought smaller banks, so now they are too big to fail & too big to jail. In fact, our system rewards greedy people like the current “Treachery” Secretary “Steven Mnuchin” who foreclosed the house of a 90-Year-Old Woman over 27 Cents-error. Mnuchin made millions of dollars after his bank foreclosed on homeowners and later he emerged as a winner, all thanks to a sick economy that gives handouts to banksters and sociopaths, often at the expense of the tax payers.

In fact, Nomi Prins (an economist and columnist at TruthDig) in her book “Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World,” writes that the central bankers and Financial institutions use fabricated money or “Fake Money” in order to inflate their assets for short-term profit and they are driving us into another dangerous financial recession.

Keep in mind that according to researchers at the University of Missouri, the Federal Reserve (which is not Federal, nor Reserve) has given $29 trillion of fabricated (printed) money to big banks and financial institutions who have used this money to pay themselves huge compensations and salaries while dominating the financial market for inflation that suits them and their fees. They’ve also used the money to buy their own stocks in order to inflate their own assets and have NOT invested any of the money to increase production, rebuild our crumbling infrastructures, or job creation. These financial institutions and banks are pushing us into another recession and potentially a global depression, worse than anything else that the world has ever seen.

2. Corporate Greed is the mother of all evil. When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten and the last stream poisoned, we will realize that we cannot eat money

Since the economy has recovered (in particular, for the rich), we have leaders who think that it's good for economy to pollute our soil, air, and drinking water. In fact, the Trump admin has been actively deregulating the already-in-place environmental laws and under this administration, we are dumping toxins & chemicals that were locked up for 30 years back to the soil that we plant food. You can eat kale until comes out of your ears, but there is no escaping the environment we all live in. Keep in mind that in a recent attack, Trump's swampy EPA made a so-called "emergency" approval to spray sulfoxaflor — an insecticide EPA's own scientists consider "Very highly TOXIC" to bees — on more than 16 million acres of crops known to attract bees. "Spraying 16 million acres of bee-attractive crops with a bee-killing pesticide in a time of global insect decline is beyond the pale, even for the Trump administration," says Nathan Donley, a senior scientist with the Center for Biological Diversity. "The EPA is routinely misusing the 'emergency' process to get sulfoxaflor approved because it's too toxic to make it through normal pesticide reviews." Currently, beekeepers are losing up to 50% of their bee hives and many crops (such as Almonds, apples, apricots, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cashews, coffee, cranberries, cucumbers, eggplants, grapes, kiwis, mangoes, okra, peaches, pears, peppers, strawberries, tangerines, walnuts and watermelons) pollinated by bees will disappear if bees die.  

These multi-billion dollar corporations are trashing our environment, literately killing it, and destroying it, this beautiful blue & white ball we inherited, all for corporate GREED. Keep in mind that corporations in America have to make more money every quarter & both crony capitalism and greed are resulting in exploitation of the labor forces and exhaustion of our natural resources. https://organiclivefood.com/health/trump-administration-policy-global-warming-climate-change-EPA-dismantles-environmental-protection.php

3. The healthcare scam:

The US spends a lot more on healthcare per head of capita than any other developed nations, yet Americans get a lot less for their money compared to other countries. Americans end up paying a fortune for insurance plans and drugs, not because they are getting better care. Americans pay more so the CEO of pharmaceuticals, insurance companies and medical suppliers can make a fortune at their expense. The government cannot regulate these corporations and simply it doesn’t want to because of corporate money. The government or the legal mafia manipulates money and creates inflation, and then collects more tax dollars from everyone. Also, the corporate lobbyists bribe members of congress and our elected officials to get billions of dollars of tax cuts and dump toxins into our rivers and food supply that would end up poisoning us. Keep in mind that large medical bills Americans cannot afford to pay are the main reason behind 60% of personal bankruptcies in US. Amazingly, these are the people who already have insurance, but their coverage isn’t enough to enable them to pay their bill. http://www.seattleorganicrestaurants.com/vegan-whole-food/healthcare-is-turned-into-sickcare-nutrition-is-the-medicine-of-future.php

4. We are bailing out the big beautiful coal. Trump wants the American tax payers to pay for expensive electricity from dangerous and dirty sources like coal, while cheaper, cleaner and safer options like Renewables are available:

The trump admin is giving bailout to fracking, oil, gas and big beautiful coal that are polluting our environment, food, air and drinking water. Instead of taxing these corporations to their teeth (which real capitalism should be), the tax payer money is bailing out the evil corporations that are polluting our environment. Keep in mind that most of the profit of fracking or oil and gas companies goes to the pockets of the very few individuals on top who don’t do the tedious work and are not exposed to a cocktail of 700 toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, formaldehyde, benzene, uranium, radium, methanol, hydrochloric acid, and ethylene glycol. https://organiclivefood.com/health/top-10-reasons-why-fracking-is-bad-for-your-health-and-the-environment.php

global-warming-climate-change

The Trump administration has also withdrawn from Paris Climate Accord and has actively been denying climate change when the administration’s own scientists have warned that we have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophic damage which is wildly intensifying across the country and the globe. In fact, recent studies show that the ocean is warming, Antarctica's ice is disappearing and Greenland's ice sheet is melting faster than ever because the area has become more sensitive to natural climate fluctuations. You probably remember Trump bragging about how cold of winter it was and how he could use a big fat dose of global warming. Apparently, “President Loco” doesn’t understand the difference between “Climate” and “Weather”.  Well, that’s what you get when you put “a very stable genius” with high level of intelligence in charge of the country. When you put a clown in office, you get a circus folks! According to researchers (although Trumpsters do not believe in research or anything to do with science, unless it’s to do with tax cuts for the rich) “Extreme seasonality” – in the form of far colder winters and much warmer summers – are as a result of global warming. We are heading for Climate Catastrophe and your denial won’t make it go away.  

 

5. Conflict of interest in everywhere, because of influence of money in our corrupt political system:

We are capitalists so we tolerate conflict of interest in science, education, medicine, politics, food, etc, etc. because it’s all to do with money. We put corrupt people in position of power because it’s good for the economy. For example, the secretary of education “Betsy DeVos”, Along with her scumbag husband Dick, have leveraged the family's fortune into funding charter schools. In some places like Michigan, the DeVos family is actively shutting down public schools and forcing parents to register their kids in charter schools which they own and profit from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcGANYbxyRI capitalism

Keep in mind that DeVos’s 164-foot luxury yacht is registered under a Cayman Islands flag so DeVos won’t have to pay taxes in America. America is so great that DeVos family don’t want to pay taxes in USA. Keep in mind that Betsy DeVos' brother, Erik Prince was the founder of the Blackwater, a private military company during the Iraq war with strong ties to horrific crimes, manslaughter and genocide against the innocent Iraqi civilians. Evil runs deep in DeVos family.

6. FACT: 26 individuals have more wealth than the bottom 4 billion in the world:

The poor and the rich live in two opposite worlds and the rules do not apply to the rich and privileged. You probably remember the release of Paradise Papers or “Panama Papers” and how these slime ball politicians, businesspeople, and movie stars from around the world have Offshore Tax Havens to get away with criminal activities such as tax evasion, fraud, and money laundering, while a 14 year old is locked up in prison for selling marijuana. According to Panama Papers document “25,000 offshore companies, which are used legally to hold assets, such as property, yachts and investments in stocks, in jurisdictions pay little to no taxation”.

7. Anti-socialist politicians have “the best healthcare plans themselves”, thanks to the tax payers’ money paying for them. Some even profit from government subsides. Tax payers recently ended up paying for one of Trump's golf courses. If socialism is bad, let’s stop the govenment from the illegal use of taxpayer money and cut the politicians’ healthcare and subsidies:

Most politicians who are against government handout for the poor or single mothers are pro government handout when it comes to themselves, their families, corporations and the rich. Remember, Anti-socialist Bachmann who got $250K in federal farm subsidies? Talk about hypocrisy and double standard.

trump-golf-courseIronically Trump supporters say that they hate socialism, yet Trump has been building golf courses off of our taxes dollars! According to reports, Trump reaps the benefit of his new gold course in Bronx, while Taxpayers ended up paying $127 million to build the golf course. Although Trump didn’t build the golf course and he doesn’t own it, Trump Company manages the golf course and keeps every dollar of the profit that the golf course makes. According to Washington Post, New York City records show that “Trump’s company made a sweet deal with the city to allow the Trump Company to keep $8 million in revenue while taxpayers covered $1 million in water and sewage bills”. Keep in mind that Trump has constantly been inflating and deflating his assets, depending on whether he wants to borrow billions of dollars or he want to avoid paying taxes. To avoid paying his fair-share, the liar-in-chief lies to deflate his net worth.

8. As George Carlin, rest in peace says “The rich: does none of the work, keeps all of the money, pay none of the taxes. The middle class: does all of the work, pays all of the taxes. And the poor are there...just to scare the shit out of the middle class to pay more taxes:

The conservative media like Fox News (unfair and unbalanced), the scumbag politicians and the rich scare you when it comes to the cost of “ all those free stuff”,  like free education, affordable housing, free healthcare, etc, etc. The rich are afraid that the “so called peasants” would wake up one day and demand that the rich pay their Fair-share. So the rich and corporations are buying members of congress and finding creative ways to keep their money in offshore accounts in order to avoid paying taxes. Keep in mind that thanks to tax planning deductions, America’s biggest corporations like ExxonMobil or General Electric (GE) avoid paying TAXES on billions of dollars in revenue. And how come when it comes to spending almost a trillion dollar on Military (we spend more than the next 12 nations combined, most of them our allies), we have money? When it comes to bailing out the big banks, we have money. When it comes to giving billions of dollars in aid to Israel we have money? But when it comes to providing free education and free healthcare, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, or anything to do with improving the lives of the middle class or poor, (with 19 trillion dollar GDP a year) we do not have money.

8. Trickle-down economics is just a scare-mongering tactic that favors the rich and doesn’t work for middle class or low income families.  The only thing tricking down is shit and we all know that shit flows downward:

Like other European countries (Germany, Denmark, Sweden, UK), we CAN afford to pay for some of the free stuffs like “education” or “healthcare” if the millionaires and billionaires paid their fair-share. In real capitalistic society, the more money you make, the more taxes you pay. However, not only we are not taxing the rich accordingly; we are also giving them more tax cuts. It’s called tripling the already tripled profit. Trump’s tax cuts to the rich and millionaires mean higher inflation and taxes for the middle class and the upper-middle class. Did you know that not long ago the rich used to pay most of the taxes? For instance in the 90s, according to the "inheritance tax", the rich were forced to pay taxes on the money they inherited. But the Republican Party and the lobbyists for the billionaires came up with a plan to change the name from "inheritance tax" to "death tax", and overnight 88% of Americans were suddenly against this tax since they thought this would include them whereas before, inheritance normally applied only to very wealthy people. That is all the rich needed to change the mind of majority of Americans to shift the burden of taxation from the rich to the middle class and poor. http://www.seattleorganicrestaurants.com/vegan-whole-food/monsanto-agenda-21-globalization.php

9. We serve our interest at any body’s expense, even at the expense of the most vulnerable people in our society or the world. Our government hates people and loves corporations. In fact, they bend over backwards for corporations, often serving them at the expense of the American working families:  

“If your success in defined as being well adjusted to injustice and well adapted to indifference, then we don’t want successful leaders. We want great leaders who love the people enough and respect the people enough to be unbought, unbound, unafraid, and unintimidated to tell the truth.”—Cornel West

Everything in America is up for sale, for example look at the prison economy. We are incarcerating people because it's good for the economy and it makes money. Student debt crisis is spinning out of control and colleges and universities have been turned into money making machine, instead of a place for creativity, innovation and ingenuity. Institutions like prisons, universities and healthcare shouldn’t be for profit. They should be there for good of the society and humanity. But if you are listening to Fox News, every day you hear that “Free Education is bad”, “Healthcare is bad”, “Retirement is bad”… all these so called “free stuffs” are “bad socialist agendas”. On the other hand, “Tax cuts for the rich is the key to trickle down economy (more like trickle shit economy)”, “Government bailout to gas and oil companies is a necessity”, “Conflict of interest, there is nothing to see here”, or “same drugs costing 10 times higher in U.S. than other countries, is as American as it gets”.

sucesss

The world according to Fox News is that as Americans we don’t get maternity leave, but we get the “Octomom”. We work hard and have 3 jobs to make the ends meet, but we are proud Americans and are at least free. According to Fox news, “It’s to do with the American exceptionalism that we pay more to get less, and we hate the poor and worship the rich”. We are capitalists and take pride in giving billions of dollars to banks, giving billions of dollars of tax cuts to corporations, rich and privileged (who don’t need it by the way), and we give trillions of dollars to industrial military complex, because we could. We are not socialists, for God-sake. We hate those poor presents that line up hours for food stamps and blame all the problems of America on feminists, women’s movement, immigrants and single mothers. Because according to neocons like Ann Coulter (long legs with a filthy racist mind dreaming to attack other countries and kill their people, she is indeed a dream come true for KKK, Neo-Nazi and white supremacists) “it is the fault of the slaves that masters are such “A$$Holes”. So let’s deport immigrants (the ones that are none-white), blame poor, single mothers and feminists for the problems of this country, discriminate against minorities and blacks, ban Muslims and promote Islamophobia, call KKK, Neo-Nazi and white supremacists “very fine people”, cage bunch of kids (who do no harm to this country and are running away from crime and violence),  deny climate change and bailout the gas, oil and coal companies, and give billionaires even more tax cuts because they are not just rich, they are also job creators.Do you remember during the recent (and the longest) government shutdown, the Billionaire Wilbur Ross was confused by hungry government workers? He was wondering why the peasants won’t just take out loans to make it through? For a minute, I was wondering if I was watching “Game of Thrones”. These rich A$$HOLES are so out of touch with the reality of life for millions of Americans including the middle class, minorities, African-Americans, Hispanics, and whites in poor pockets of America that they don’t understand how hundreds of millions of Americans live a paycheck to paycheck life.

crony-capitalism-socialism

10. No, Venezuela doesn't prove anything about socialism and why not talk about the happiest country in world “Democratic Socialist Denmark”:

When it comes to socialism, conservatives love to use scare-mongering tactics by suggesting that a socialist America is going to like Venezuela. But why not talk about Sweden or Denmark when we talk about socialism? The happiest country in the world is democratic socialist Denmark!! They have free education, Universal health care, free child care, maternity leave, lots of vacation time (2 months or more), 30 hr work week, etc, etc … All those free and fun stuffs that are being subsidized for the rich in corporate America, but are bad and forbidden for the poor and middle income-class families in capitalist America.
