Our Current System

It always surprises me how often even smart, liberal-minded people give elites a pass for their thieving, narcissism, corner-cutting, and bending the rules in their favor.

We the people collect the raw materials.

We make the stuff.

We move the stuff.

We create the value.

And give that value to the owners.

Then they hand a fraction of it back to us.

And we thank them for it.

Why

Lots of people see through this. But a shocking number of people don't, despite the incandescent obviousness of the trick.

But then I remember who owns and controls the media we've been consuming our whole lives.

And it all makes sense.

If you don't think you've been propagandized. You've definitely been propagandized.

Keep looking, and you will keep finding it.
