Got any change ?

We often hear the expectation of change while executing the same actions defines insanity. We replicate actions to prove as scientist that something works, or produces a predictable outcome. Sometime we only need to look at the cycle to see patterns emerge.

Corruption and greed are predictable.  Thomas Jefferson said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Making money from the purchasing power of the poor is what the super-rich have always done.  The poor are eternal consumers who have yet to understand it is their dollars that make the system operate. It is not the corporate boxes that sustain the stadium it is the diehard fans filling those seats. Why complain about ticket prices? All Fans have to do is stay home for one season and everyone will get to enjoy the teams we love because those teams will realize that they need US. The extra man on the field is our wallets.  Maybe then athletes will realize they actually PLAY a Sport for a living.

This dynamic plays out also in the two-party system with BIG donors on the Republican side and the illusion of the Democrats being on the side of the poor.  We are flooded with requests of how our 5, 10, 15 dollars are supposed to help make a change while NO change is occurring.  Those politicians who keep these request coming NEED the people to BELIEVE that they are making a difference. Why is a President who can never serve another term still asking for your hard earned dollars? It is for his party.  It is for those same candidates who are ignoring you on the local level as they feel entitled to progress to the federal level.

We hear both sides fighting for control of the Senate and Congress when NONE of them have done anything but make the poor more poor.  Today I sat in NJ Assembly Chambers and listened to speeches about why a law needs to be passed to let VOTING members of NJ houses know how much money the STATE of NJ has BEFORE it votes on a budget.  WHY does that have to be made law?  NONE of us writes a check from our own accounts without knowing our account balance.  NJ Legislators have done it, continue to do it.  They are beyond any mathematical foundation of accounting. It is why NJ schools are underfunded, pension money is GONE, and the STATE of NJ is insolvent. There is NO accountability.   

Why would any of us think we can write checks because we still have checks? THAT IS FRAUD. Banks have made billions from check fees from people who don’t have the money in their accounts and have prosecuted many for the same.  Why do we keep electing NJ Legislators who do the same?  If you consider your vote like your hard earned cash, not a stretch because the two are inextricably linked, you will stop giving.  You will drive down the price of an election. It is your money. You should be able to determine how it is spent.

We saw today on our trip to the HOUSE they no longer want or allow public comment.  In Fact they did not even come past us while we waited to speak to them BEFORE voting concerning our issue. Tune into my next post to hear those issues, the Bill, and our objections and the outcome.
