The most fascinating irony of our times is the success of superimposing the brutal Roman democracy upon a modern constitution, and then stretching it in all dimensions of cruelty in just a few years. However, the recent events are only a manifestation of a bad case scenario. As opportunities for international profitability shrink we shall see worse scenarios, unless we convert some of the government’s fat to service.
Our species have caused the extinction of many species in our quest for food. In our attempts to facilitate obtaining food, we have caused the extinction of more species by eliminating the competition, and the predators. However, we finally reached the intellectual level to realize our atrocities and began to save the species, such as buffalos, from extinction. We seem to be less generous to ourselves.
From the beginning we also learned that weapons were effective in exploiting our own species. We also learned that superstitions, and traditions that would generate fear, were just as effective as weapons. However, the most effective weapon against large masses has been the abuse of rule of law by democratically elected representatives. You are constantly reminded that the votes, and therefore the wishes of the majority are in control. Whether the majority refers to actual voters or the resources that affect the outcome of voting is lost in deceptions and artificial ambiguities.
A fascistic democracy is a democratically skirted fascism supporting the ideals of a group of controlling capitalists, where the ideals are driven solely by the desire for higher profitability. We own the fattest government ever, and yet it is effectively invisible when we need it, especially in our old age. The sole purpose of the government is the creation of national and international opportunities for the profitability of the controlling masters of our country.
Indeed, the president states that we do not torture. Ironically, he also acknowledges the rarity of jobs and loss of homes. Millions wake up, assuming they fell asleep at all, with the fear of loss of their lowered paying jobs that are being exported. They start their day with the torturous anxiety of losing their homes while the oil companies are making billions in profit. I wonder what is the definition of torture that the president has in mind.
We need to get over the traditions and connotations imposed on terms like social. We must get something out of our fattest government other than its services for the rich and the protection of their profit levels. If we leave all services, such as education and health open to profitability, we are going to see much worse scenarios than current conditions, with higher frequency of occurrence. After all, we can only create so many wars without being challenged. Thus, the focus of profitability will be more than ever the basic needs of the nation itself.
Legalizing certain forms of theft so the masses can be robbed results in other forms of theft, including bank robberies and burglaries. Regardless of how it is skirted, giving billions of tax dollars as incentives to oil companies is theft. Just because it is legal does not mean it is not stealing. Tax dollars are not personal so someone can simply write a check against them.
The largest government with largest budget imaginable is so small and insignificant with regard to providing for its children, elderly and those who need medical help. Does anyone ever wonder what is the purpose of a monstrous government with enormous budget when such a huge percentage of the population is suffering from poverty? How is this the wish of the majority? Are we so savage and selfish or are we being manipulated?

An all win corruption
Our so-called democracy has degenerated to the initial conception of a democratic government. Basically, a body of mercenaries for fooling the population into believing that, they are on the side of the people. Using the disguise of a representative, they propose solutions for their masters that keeps the population of slaves under control and voluntarily obedient. Recently, we have also applied the technique of endowing the leader with divine attributes.
Lobbying has established a double-edge winning tradition in favor of corporations. Republicans will cut taxes for the rich and democrats will flood the country with immigrants thereby shrinking salaries and wages. Occasionally someone enters the White House to boost our corporate foreign policy. The fact that we are talking about all of this in a democratic system simply means that we as the people have lost the war of poverty.
In ancient times, opening the city gate for enemy soldiers was treason because the soldiers would take peoples’ belongings and rape their daughters. Well, the loss of jobs causes people to lose their homes, and their daughters end up working for playboy. Thus, in a country that jobs are a matter of life and death, anyone deliberately causing loss of jobs is a traitor. Overflowing the country with cheaper foreign skills hurts millions in favor of a few corporate traitors.
A private business, such as insurance and banking cannot make its own laws. However, our lawmakers have been quite creative in providing the private sector with the opportunity to dictate its set of laws to our nation. Thanks to lobbying, instead of a single dictator we can have any number of them, turning us into a democratically multi-dictatorship nation, or a government-backed anarchism. In particular, lobbying is an effective technique for legalization of theft, a generalization of legacy of Al Capon.
The management of our retirement plan is the most vivid example of unequal treatment. Social security taxes are collected on the first $97,000 of any salary. This is so the rich pay less into a Social Service, but they delightfully accept large social security checks at their retirement.
The rich do not need social security checks for their daily lives. So, our elected representatives solve the retirement financial problems by raising the retirement age instead of raising the cap on social security taxes. This is so brutal that is hard to explain. Just think for a moment and observe who is more likely to live longer, and therefore who will be receiving the social security checks for many years of their lives. You should easily see the only one reason for raising retirement age and imposing a cap on social security taxes.
No human being other than vulture capitalists would make people work until the age of 70 for their basic needs. Note that these people make less than $100,000 and will be paying into social security, perhaps until they die. In fact, their social security checks are so small that they will need to work until they die.
The vulture capitalists easily demonize fair representatives through their corrupted media. A tiny percentage of our elected representatives actually represent 90 percent of our population. The rest are the mercenaries of the rich, or one of their relatives representing them in our Legislative Branch.
The search for profit by manipulating a nation’s laws will continue to bring extreme miseries to those of us who depend on the availability of jobs. A participating nation can prevent the abuse of its democratic system. However, such social advancements require the participation of almost the entire nation. We are, and we will be kept too far from the day that our entire nation will live like a small family, the way Jesus taught.

A mutable constitution is useless
For any type of democracy, constitution is the framework that determines the power of each branch of government. It is contradictory, and indeed absurd for any branch to have the constitutional power to modify the constitutional framework itself.
One does not have to be a lawyer to understand that, if a branch can modify the constitution, there is no point in having one at first place. It is just as plain and simple to see that a mutable constitution is equivalent to dictatorship.
In accordance to the Constitution of the United States of America, the power to declare war belongs to the Legislative Branch. The transfer of such power to the Executive Branch is not within the power of any branch because such transfer or delegation is equivalent to modifying the Constitution.
What I am saying is plain and simple. The Congress and the Senate do not have the power to vote on a legislation that delegates the power for declaring war to the Executive Branch. Somehow this has been done, conveniently providing Mr. Bush with the opportunity to invade Iraq. The question is, who or what oversees such violations of the Constitution?
Turning to the war itself, anyone can easily tell that the outcome of the war has brought miseries to the majority of Americans, and all Iraqis. A small percentage of Americans associated with private sector have profited big, indeed very big. As an additional help their tax burden has been drastically lowered for even more absurd profit levels, already in the billions.
Since the war is strictly benefiting a certain group of people in our country, shouldn’t they pay for the cost of the war? I know they will want our children to make the ultimate sacrifice. What about our little ones that will be the men and women of a few years from now? Should they pay for a war that they had nothing to do with? So, Mr. Bush wants us to sacrifice our children now, and use our tomorrow’s children to pay for a war that took away their parents, brothers and sisters? Why can we not stop this madness?
