A forum post; my comments are below the "[quote]" marks:
[quote="Internationalist"]The people would elect who would run the country. This constantly changes.
America is not run by the same politicians for decades at a time. A period of 2 terms for president and 6 years for Senators. After this they for the most part leave the political arena, and if not their inflence and power they can exert is severley deminished. [/quote]
For the individual, however the 'cabal' of power is ALWAYS PRESENT. Only the faces change, and when it comes to the Supreme Court, there's only been 17 in HISTORY, keeping Senators' asses covered to pass law after law that puts more and more families in dungeons while Senators live in majesty. They don't care about anybody, and those families they war against get disease in jail; one in ten sexually-abused; a DeathWarrant.
While subtracting from WeThePeople by ones and twos, the Senators take money from those that HATE government and HumanServices: religion, the very same religion that this country was founded in order to ESCAPE.
[quote="RevHellHound"]Actually what the welfare state provides as seen in the US and in the UK is a way for the lazy NOT to work and to live off of the production of hard working citizens..... [/quote]
Every HumanService is to be abolished then? How about Emergency-'911'-services, fire, paramedic, roads, telecommunications, hospitals, corporate-subsidies? Those ARE HumanServices, too. Welfare, by definition, as a matter of fact.
The BIG DIFFERENCE is that Social Security Insurance has NOTHING TO DO WITH INCOME TAXES. It is a payroll-premium, unlike Income Taxes. It is the ONLY governmental program that MAKES MONEY. The only one to have EVER made money.
Further, the MOST EXPENSIVE WELFARE IN HISTORY is the Armaments Industry. I don't hear you bitching about that. Those double-standards proves a serious lack of integrity: promote welfare to war and deny welfare to the poor. Those are some seriously BackAssWards 'priorities.'
====================
A word on GlobalWarming: there are ancient cities all along the coasts of nearly every continent. Obviously, the ice-caps have been melting for millenia. Instead of worrying about which 'pollutant' is causing ICE MELT, we need address ICE MELT. The entire debate on global-warming, Kyoto, etc., is STUPID because it does not address ICE MELT.
And it's easy to fix: PetroChemicalIndustry and the military has the equipment and means to SAVE THE PLANET by pumping trillions of gallons of sea-water daily onto the poles where it will refreeze. Inland seas can be refilled as they ONCE WERE to de-salinate and stabilize arid regions and make them fruitful farms again. An 2-inch reduction in sea-level will SAVE VENICE and many BelovedCities globally, especially from storm-surge which threatens petro-chemical platforms and infrastructure, shipping routes and ports, harbors cities, etc. IN 10-YEARS, we could easily reduce ocean-levels to save the coastal habitats from erosion and reclaim much lost land, thus stabilizing planetary balance and reducing the magnetic-shift which is wreaking havoc on communication satelites and infrastructure.
There are MANY REASONS to start now and we are 10-years behind schedule.
