Shinkoskey: Big money powers taking over?

Posted

The nation’s big money powers are in the process of capturing everything of value in America — real estate, business and industry, banks, all three branches of government, media, non-profits, military, churches, sports and entertainment.

The party of big money no longer even pretends to be just, egalitarian, and peace-loving. Just consider Republican candidates talking about arming-up now to cause election chaos in November.

Two examples are U.S. Senate candidate Kari “Strap on a Glock” Lake (Arizona), and U.S. Senate candidate Brad “Aim your rifle at Biden” Wilson (Utah).

Our country’s wealthy aristocrats monopolize every industry and make and break every rule.

Meanwhile, the remaining 99% beg to get a glimpse of the homes, cars, and wardrobes of the 1%, and bend the knee to their every whim and pleasure.

All this did not take long to accomplish. Educated Boomers have seen it all unfold. The de-regulation/monopoly movement started after World War II and hasn’t abated since.

Americans have lost all touch with what it means to be a democracy and a humane people, and have made a permanent home for ourselves in ignorance, apathy, and addiction.
