Interesting poem, do you perform this type of poetry?

I don't look at the Government as the source of evil, but that the government, made of people, is weak unless there is enough accountability and oversight in place (working and effective regulation).

I see most of our problems as arising out of only one thing. When corporate power and their connections in Washington grew to the point that they were able to thwart antitrust laws that limited the power and size of companies, the entire power balance began to fail, like a dam cracking and breaking open. These massive corporations now overpower the people in our government, corrupt them with money and influence. When almost everyone around you is corrupt, it is much harder to be rigtheous and do the right thing, since it will almost inevitablly end in failure and being punished politically.

If we can restore the balance that should exist between the government, corporations (and our business community) and the people our government is supposed to represent, then our political system will become effective again, the political leaders will be less polarized and move a bit more to center and have more political overlap, which will then lead to constructive negotation.

Maybe you see this as different, but it is too easy to blame the "government". The fact is, right now we have too little government by the people and for the interests of the Republic and too much government under the strings of the the mega-corporations.

We can't have innovation, competitive and constructive dynamic markets nor a innovative, effective and constructive government when there is the massive power of mega-corps dominating and distorting and crushing these factors that made us a great country.

Government that governs least, governs best." - Henry David Theoro

.... at the same time the Henry was denoucing government ....he was living in solitude .... and also had many misgivings about all the machines and loud noise taking over the country side ..... he did not like the over-industrialisation that he saw in the mid 19th century ....


..... it is possible to dislike both big corporations and big government .....


.... I think Gia (mother-earth God) ..... may like us back in our humble little huts for awhile ..... while my fleshly pompus industrialised illusion called consciousness is threatened .......

.... human flesh and its consumptions have a huge lacking in moral proportionality ....producing illuisonary conscious entities that mock the beauty of universal balance.

.... But, the left, while it is so GREEN ...... has no real moral compass for the flesh ........

.... we need a Victorian Repressionism of the flesh which will produce a GREEN effect on the planet .


.... we need a Green Tea Party

... and we need someone who knows how to "spell" words like Theoro .....
 
Increases in Housing Costs Help Erode Senior Buying Power

The Senior Citizens League said older Americans have lost 32% of their buying power since 2000. This is because the Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment has gone up just 31% since that year, while typical expenses have jumped 73%.

While the average Social Security benefit received has increased to $1,072 in 2011 from $816 a month in 2000, TSCL said to maintain the same lifestyle, the check would have had to increase to $1,414.70 a month.
