A Wip Wondering

Go ahead, please tell me how you think that any government structure that derives its funding through theft, force, and violence, and that cannot be opted out of by anyone, and has power and control over everyone’s lives, money, property, freedom, etc. can ever possibly be trusted to do any good for anyone? Stop worrying about what horrible people have taken control and start worrying about the existence of the structure that ANYONE can take control of.
“I wonder how much of an affect insider trading by politicians has on society.”
And I wonder …. and I do so most respectfully ….. why you are focused on just one aspect (insider trading) of the unrelenting and ever increasing evil practiced by all government (in general), and specifically, 95% or greater of every politician in our Federal, State, and Local governments?
The entire system must be utterly destroyed. (I explain more of this in my new article which I should have done by noon-ish today.)
I raise the “wondering” because the love of money is the root of all evil. If politicians can make money using what is illegal to all others, the consequences are immeasurable(?). IMO. They are untouchable in any way they want to make $$$$. War? Slavery? Theft? Sex trafficking? Human trafficking? Check, check, check, check and check. All of those things can be monetized through wall street.
I look forward to all your articles, Stuck-n-zee-doitch. Btw, that name is given through admiration not through insult.

Politicians have found out the secret of building a nest egg, get in bed with businessmen. The media has discovered a way to build the same nest egg, get in bed with the politicians who are in bed with the businessmen. Pretty weird if you ask me.
This did not happen overnight, but many elections and news cycles over time has weeded out the honest folks and over a few generations, established the benevolent self interested uni-Party system we now live in (or live under, depending on your point of view).
I have been encouraged with the Trump presidency, but wonder how he will be able to eradicate the generations of “screw America, I’m in it for my own sake” party of elites running the show. Kavanagh’s confirmation shows there is hope, but can the tide be turned? Will others rise up with the same convictions of Trump to continue the fight, or will there just a few skirmishes before we go back to business as usual
” party of elites ”
Don’t really think so ,more like narrow minded, self-righteously.self-important assholes in positions of power! Nothing elite about them.
Birds of a feather flock together. I don’t know how a spinner of administrative law in this flock can save the day. There is no justifiable hope in him. And hope of feelings is slavery.
