There are many good things in the USA. I’ll write them in another article. Here, I will talk about what I see that’s wrong with the USA.
With the recent Wars and Bail Outs, I see the USA is going down toward a path that’s dishonest and evil.
For the Iraq War, it was claimed that Saddam had WMD’s and the world is in danger. It turned out, Saddam got captured and killed. No WMD was ever found. All the claims and proofs of WMD were lies. If a mistake was made, admit it and withdraw the troops back. Not withdrawing from Iraq shows that the USA’s arrogance and shameless in front of a lie that was made to the whole world. Its true purpose and motive are non-speak able and apparent.
The Iraq War is costing lives and money. Those money and lives can be used in much more meaningful ways than death and destruction.
Before the USA entered Iraq, I knew WMD is a lie. It’s pretty simple to see if one wants to fight against WMD, the USA got the most of them. You don’t need to go to Iraq to find them. You can find them right here in the USA. If you reduce USA’s WMD to one tenth or hundredth of its stockpile, it still will be the world’s only remaining super power.
The anthrax scare during 911 came from the USA too. You would assume some foreigner developed and brought it into the USA and use it in those attacks in the USA, but the source turned out to be from the USA’s Army lab. After the FBI ruing a string of suspects’ reputations, one of the Army scientists turned up dead by suicide. Case closed?
Anthrax don’t kill, people do. Americans kill Americans.
During 911, the two planes hitting WTO buildings were believable. Steel buildings can collapse, it’s harder to believe. Two WTO buildings got hit by two planes and three WTO steel buildings collapsed — it’s a bad movie script. Should the FBI take a closer look why steel can break apart that easily? Not a chance. All the steels from the collapsed WTO buildings got sold for scraps right the way and shipped over seas. Apparently, they were good steels to be reused for some other new buildings.
The War made some people rich, but its blood money. When people fly planes and hit our buildings, we call them terrorists. When we fly planes and bomb other people, they call us terrorists. When will the terror stop?
Are the top American commanders really believed they can wipe all the Muslims in the Middle East like what they did to the native Indians in America?
Now, let’s talk about the Bail Outs.
The rich corporate executives financed politicians’ campaigns. Once politicians came to power, they return the favors by making new laws that allow rich corporate executives to be more rich and powerful. The cycle continues. The Arms manufacture wants more Wars and Terrorists. And politicians granted their profit wishes into deadly reality.
Do you remember 401K when it first came out? Seemed like too good to be true. It’s tax free. The company will match your contribution. Unless you are really needed the money from your paycheck, you are much better putting the saving in the 401K. All these 401K contributions from all the workers in USA go to the stock market. It’s been going higher and higher. Until…
Now everyone’s 401K got wiped out. Corporate executives can go to politicians and get their Bail Outs. The trick is like this. First, they made 401K possible, so average workers’ money can be funneled into the stock market. Once they got your money, you can’t really blame them because it said right there in black and white, it had certain risks and no guarantee on returns.
Now with the Bail Out, it’s using government’s tax power to collect more money from everyone.
With 401K, the Devil was trying to trick you and there was a choice. With the Bail Out, it’s the same Devil, but there’s no choice. Rich used the politician they financed to place more tax on people.
The American colonist didn’t like to be taxed. When British placed a stamp tax, they revolted. Now Americans are eating it bit by bit. First, we have to make sure the troops got enough money to fight the War. Not matter how much money we put in, it seems that the US troops are still don’t have what they needed; Veterans are not treated well and living in miserable places in Veterans’ hospitals.
Later, it’s the financial Bail Out. If we don’t Bail Out them, the whole financial system will collapse. If steel buildings can collapse, surely our financial system can collapse. If it collapsed, how much more difficult it will be to milk more money out of folks like you and me.
Now is the USA’s Big (Beg) Three Auto Bail Out. It’s still in the talks. It used to be the USA kept the foreign made Japanese cars out by tariffs. Then Japanese car makers had to setup shops in the USA in order to sell their cars. Now the USA made Japanese cars are selling better. Why? Maybe it’s because they make a better product.
So much talk of free trade, free market competition. It’s a lie just like WMD.
When will the USA be a better place? As long as the system of money financed politicians’ campaigns are in place, it will only get worse. What people can do is not join the War, don’t buy stock, and don’t buy cars inferior cars.
If you don’t join the War, you are preventing yourself from getting hurt and saving some foreigner’s lives. The USA’s offensive actions are inviting counter offensive from others.
If you don’t buy stock, you might miss out on the enticed gains that can never be guaranteed, but your money won’t be as easily wiped out by others.
If you have to buy a car, shop around and buy one that’s good for the environment. Don’t buy a truck that can go in the jungles when your tax dollar already have paved road built.
Say No to Bail Out and War Bill, is just like saying No to Stamp Tax.
Protection of children and the innocent is often used in US media for politically correctness. Maybe children must not know about sex, otherwise sexual appear on ads will fail to work on the future consumers.
