Morality isn't profitable
If we listen to our corporate robber barons, the
ONLY reason to do anything is money.
Profitability, profiteering, rigging the game
against consumers, voters and the general public
is what America is all about. There is no higher
motivation for them than money.
Can't this country attack problems here and do
it without profit being the primary or only goal?
Isn't there a higher calling?
What lessons are our kids learning from this?
Religion is said to be about helping others - a very socialistic goal,
yet many of the same believers in their favorite
flavor of mythology act in the interest of corporations, which should
have no person-hood status and certainly do not
have ours nor our country's interests as a priority. One would think
there would be rioting in the streets against
the tyranny of the upper class.
Clearly capitalism has failed, not to mention
our education system which produces such numb nuts that have
suppressed progress for half a century. So why
would anyone want to fight and die for such a corrupt, inhumane government?
The Change we Need had better happen soon, as
the evil right wing continues to infect our media outlets with lies and
being able to get their insane messages out,
sending the opposition running away in fear. We are now seeing the real
costs
of Reaganomics with state budgets being broken
while being protective of the rich and not being willing to fund the
necessary social and moral obligations that make
society work.
It is probably safe to say if Mr Change fails
at health care, we will have seen the rich, who are the equivalent of slave
owners,
have beaten us, the lower class (slaves) yet
again. We the People are toast if Obama and his party, in particular,
fail us.
How in the hell do we, from the generation of
"peace, love and understanding" explain this failure to our kids and grandkids?
