“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.” ~ H.L. Mencken
It matters not how deck chairs are arranged or how shiny the brass, the good ship USS Economy is going down. The Unholy Trinity of Republicans, Democrats, and Bankers (http://venturacountyteaparty.ning.com/photo/art-of-the-collapse11010?xg_source=activity) have done their work dastardly work.
While the Forum’s opinion page seems obsessed with with Berg/Pomeroy, so much so that Sunday’s edition devoted a whole page to letters on the race, it’s outcome is of little or no consequence. The difference is in campaign rhetoric only. Once in office all politicians (with the exception of Ron Paul, Alan Grayson, and perhaps a half dozen others) serve the same special interests: Big government, big business, big oil, big banking, Wall Street, perpetual war, and globalism. To get elected, however, candidates must convince voters that their tax and spend policies will benefit them to the detriment of others. That’s whole game folks. Play it if you like but its not going to change anything.
H.L. Mencken died in 1956 and did not see the Great Society when we learned in ernest that we could vote ourselves a piece of someone else’s paycheck. Our whole pirate economic system is a violation of the most fundamental and immutable economic law found in in Exodus 20:15: ” Thou shalt not steal”. It is a systemic quandary, and the whole system is going under the waves
