Money trickles uphill

Government has one main function and that is to distribute things.  Government decides how much money goes where.  Does it go to health care or does it got to the military? Does it go to education or to sugar subsidies? Government is simply a giant distribution scheme.  It is not a one way street.  Not only does government decide how the money goes out, but it also decides how it comes in.  Republicans realize that when you control government you can have the money come in from the working class and go out to the rich.  So Republicans simply take control of the government.  How do they do that?  The main tools are fear, ignorance, and just plain lying.  Who provides the fear ignorance, and lying?  Donald Trump, Fox News, and a population engaged in sports as theater do the trick.  Republicans know facts and reality are their worst enemy, so why not do away with both?  This explains the invention of " fake news".   Now we have all kinds of truth and facts. If you believe it, it is true, and that is the new standard.

How will this all unfold?  People never pay attention until they are uncomfortable.  If you have enough to eat, a warm place to let your bowels loose, and a flat screen TV you don't care if you are being robbed blind.  As long as people are comfortable no need to get upset about how things are distributed. 

There is a problem.  Even though you are sitting in your living room watching TV and eating a pizza if the water starts coming in under your door you got a problem.  The subtle destruction of the environment cannot be ignored once your house starts to go under water.  Tornados will interrupt Jeapordy.  Then of course there is the fundamental problem of breathing.  Sometimes the air gets so bad it kills people.

Now back to the beginning.  What if you take everything?  As a country we have taken everything.  That could result in the people you took it from coming to get it back.  These people are called immigrants.  Once you rob the world and the world is a miserable place the people you robbed may want to come to your house.

Republican believe in the " Hell with everyone, I got mine".   In all of history this has never worked.  Once a small group of people take it all the revolution begins, and the greedy bastards we call Republican sometimes loose their heads, then it starts all over.

Well back to the depression.  What was the depression all about?  The depression was all about the people on top taking it all.  It got to the point that either they gave some back or lost their heads.  They did give some back, but only enough to start the cycle one more time.

Here we are once more where all the money has tricked to the top and we are approaching the time when the Hoopleheads may wake up.  What will wake up the Hoopleheads?  Time has a way of making us all older.  There is an abundance of people nearing retirement age, but they will not be able to retire, not enough money.  When the people now in their late forties, and early fifties start to realize they just will never be able to retire they will ask the question " How come mom and dad got to retire, but we have to work until we die?  The people will see that the Republicans enabled a few rich people to steal everything.  The take back cycle will start over. 

Who cares?  I got mine, and it looks like I can make it to the finish line, but pity our children, we robbed them blind with the help of The Donald, The Kevin Cramer, and Kelly Armstrong.  Hopefully their heads will be the first to roll if and when the revolution comes.
