Inner city politics gone national

The federal governemnt is just Huey Long's Louisiana or Mayor Daley's Chicago taken to the national level.

It's not that the people in Washington are particularly worse than anyone else, it is that the temptations created by the design of the government machine are too great for mortal people.

When you are in a position to sign trillion dollar checks, you are presented fantastic incentives to be unethical as well as tremendous disincentives to act ethically

If a person offers you $100 to sell your mother, of course you won't. But if they offer you $1B and threaten to kill you wife, you will figure out some rationale as to why you must sell your mother.

You could liken the federal government to a corrupt inner-city police department. No matter how sincere a new rookie might be, when he walks in the door, he finds that everyone is on the take and any attempt to expose it will be met with an errant bullet from an unregistered gun.

This is almost certainly the experience Trump had when he walked in the door. Mitch McConnel explained in no uncertain terms that he serves at the leisure of the senate and that he would be removed from office if he did anything of which they did not approve.

There is only one requirement to being elected and that is positive media exposure of which the ruling has effective total control.

They provide free positive coverage around campaign donation laws under the guise of news.

They character assassinate at will free of any potential for slander charges or prosecution.

They run candidates on both primaries

They make sure there are no conservatives hired in any government agency or university

In 1913, the bankster bought a majority in congress and passed the federal reserve act. This act enshrined a system where taxpayer dollars are continuously siphoned off to pay 'interest' on the money that is printed to fund the false narrative called the 'national debt'. 

• Collecting money on printed money is like having a copyright on money
• These collected interest payments have been untraced for a century
• It has been used to fund campaigns and buy controlling interest in every significant corporation in the world.
• There is no such thing as a national debt, just a continuous devaluation of the currency.
• The ruling class print money, spend it first, and are thus not particularly harmed by its diluting effect on the value of money.
