American Freedom

Of course a British bank has raised a million dollars for Mr. Romney's presidential bid. Did we ever doubt foreigners were being invited into American interests by 'citizens united'? Have we asked the
SCOTUS and John Roberts which citizens are to be united? Didn't the British banks have that very
close relationship with Leohman Brothers?
What most real citizens tend to forget about American history is that we really do live in a capitalistically free society. Capitalists not only make money in this country, they run rough-shod
over any and every decent work-a-day citizen in our country. And our government? Well our
government stands up for citizens only at the very last moment, after we attempt to get up off the
pavement or out of the mud. The uber-capitalists insist on mowing us down ... in wholesale fashion,
uninhibited and unimpeded. That is the government we have chosen. That is the government we
believe in now. We have what we want, I guess. And the closer we get to slavery, the better that sort
of government works.
We have to admit, though, that slavery did not work then, and is not going to work now.
If capitalists love the freedoms they enjoy at everyone else's expense, and the rest of us are determined to admire them, then that's the reality. My only complaint is that I am sick and so tired
of wiping the tread marks off my behind.
