Buyer Beware

All political issues have become emotional.

Why, we even have TV personalities and politicians crying on stage to show us how it’s done. By controlling us through emotions, we’ve become irrelevant.

Our government operates under the policy that free markets know best, but in reality, the idea that free markets can regulate themselves can only happen in a perfect world. But in this world, OUR world, all it’s brought is high unemployment to US citizens and bankruptcy to the nation.

Oh but there is a plan in place to increase jobs through exports. Yeah exporting our standard of living along with the affluence of the middle class has been our main export for decades.

Corporations do not view us as citizens with value but as brain washed consumers with our only value being how much of our money they can convince us to give to them.

After being bailed out by the American tax payer, General Motors is making profits in China; it no longer matters if we can afford to buy these products, global markets will sustain American corporations. They don’t care if profits come from here or abroad, we‘re irrelevant. And it isn’t just the citizens who have become irrelevant, political candidates have become irrelevant too, it’s just that they get paid more.

The recent Supreme Court decision allowing corporations free reign in campaign spending has made the vote for the politician irrelevant along with our rights to information, we’ll never know who is behind the financing of any political ads. So if a politician doesn’t vote the way a corporation wants, the corporation can legally seek revenge by pouring millions into negative attack ads, and attack ads win elections.. for the opponent.

Political candidates have become a product, just like any other product on TV. One newly elected Republican even had his face on a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. Only with these Political products, there’s no money back guarantee and it’s buyer beware.
