Banks and multinationals are robbing the vast majority of ordinary people by means of a financial and economic system whereby money can be made from nothing, producing nothing of real value, with full backing of the taxpayer through government bailouts should the shady economic practices be exposed for the illusion they are.
Simultaneously, this same system dominates the vast majority of working people of every social class on two fronts; by holding power over people's livelihoods by the ever decreasing purchasing power of salaried labour through inflation, wage caps, or the threat of unemployment on the one hand and by brainwashing people into leading a shamelessly consumerist lifestyle, often going into chronic debt while doing so, on the other.
The system inherently leads to a widening gap between rich and poor, concentrating ever greater amounts of wealth and power into the hands of the very few, while alienating and marginalizing everyone else. We can plainly see that nations with the greatest amount of income disparity and the weakest social fabric are the ones that are hit hardest by the consequences of these economic charades.
These same banks and companies are managed by strict adherents to a fanatical economic ideology that does not believe in rules, regulations, or social safety nets except when it suits their agenda. Governments are held hostage by the dictatorship of the economy, and have no choice but to either collaborate by meeting their demands, or risk having too many angry unemployed people with a lot of time on their hands. Either way, the rich get what they want, with no guarantees that the economy will recover. Everyone else simply has to tighten their belts, while trying to keep the system afloat, thus continuing the cycle.
People are starting to realize the extent of this scam and are beginning to speak out against the collusion of government with business interests, but they also feel powerless to change the status quo.
Ask yourself why so many people don't bother to vote? Ask yourself why these economic practices are allowed in the first place? Ask yourself where all of that money went?
