Government
I called it a corporate coup, they call it looting… either way, we got robbed…
A thief breaks into your house, steals everything, and leaves you nearly broke. Law enforcement responds by visiting with the thief and the resellers of the thief’s stolen goods in a very friendly setting, perhaps lunch at the Four Seasons. Law enforcement then takes the information to government officials who respond by writing the thief and the resellers a check from what is left of your checking account. They decide this too over lunch, perhaps also at the Four Seasons and on your dime.

We need to [...]

I felt that duty particularly because America is [...]
California State Budget Mess: Media Misses Republican Obstructionism
By Paul Hogarth
If you get your news about Sacramento from the San Francisco Chronicle, you’d believe Arnold Schwarzenegger is a “Kindergarten Cop” stuck with a “worse than worthless” legislature that can’t agree on a state budget. Moreover, you’re probably “outraged” that members of the state legislature left town during the budget mess – although it’s [...]
Stolen Wealth
Joel S. Hirschhorn
Like a law of physics, corrupt politics, unshared national wealth and uncontrolled greed combine to produce economic inequality and delusional prosperity.
