Protesters are popping up all over the country, converging on Capitol Hill in protest of Tax Day which marks the deadline of this years tax filing season. People have made signs aligning their movement to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Going as far as to wear colonial revolutionary costumes. I mean people of all ages from kids to seniors are participating. A lot of the funding for these rallies are being funded by right-wing organizations. So Independents and Democrats alike are have been chanting it is a right wing conspiracy to thwart President Obama and Congresses agenda.
While in many ways that may be true, to an extent. There actually are a lot of people who are not satisfied with the bailouts and the way our money has been spent in the stimulus for that matter, regardless of who was at fault for those companies demise. The Obama administration has to realize that although this may be a crisis handed to him. There is a level of responsibility for the actions taken to correct it and that responsibility Mr. President ends with you. You signed off on the bailouts and played the pawn of a banking industry that was holding you hostage. From what has happened to others on power who have dissented, I can completely understand.
However to be frank at some point you have to grow some balls. Regardless of what anyone says you knew this job was dangerous when you took it. I bet you never thought it would be the international banking system do be the actual dangers you would have to worry about. Or did you? International bankers lobbied Presidential candidate Woodrow Wilson before the election of 1912 with their support in exchange for him to sign the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Who's to say Obama was not approached in a similar manner to win the presidency.
Obama had defended his actions of placing the money into the banks hands versus directly in the hands of the consumer, mentioning that for every $1 given the to the banks it will open up $8 in credit for the consumer. Versus the dollar for dollar scenario of placing that money in citizens hands. That might work if you had the authority to make them lend it and you don't and you knew you didn't. It would've symbolically meant so much to the American people too. For example I have a friend that just bought a fairly new Mercedes Benz much nicer that his old 94' Lincoln Town Car. When this car speaks of which one he would choose in the event of financial hardship he would prerer to keep the lincoln. Not because of the potential resale value of the Mercedes being greater but because the Lincoln may be less in dollar value but higher in sentimental value and you missed out on a rare opportunity to establish that type of value Mr. President.
In the end the responsibility soley lies in his as well as congresses hands. Not just Democrats who are in power right now but the Republicans that fostered this situation as well. Don't be disillusioned with Republican Tea Party promoters who act all of a sudden so disgusted with these policies. These are the very people that fought for the deregulation that led to this madness. Just as well do not be disillusioned by the Democrats saying they understand that and they are going to clean it up, because they are not. They are going to add to it. However it may not be because they want to.
The financial sector according to President Franklin D. Roosevelt has owned the goverment since the days of Andrew Jackson. Imagine the young budding politician, full of hope and life. Imagine them in their passion to change the system and winning an election. All to find out that if you don't give into bankers and the extremely wealthy's hand, they can cause economic hardship so tough in your district, it will cause chaos and anarchy in the streets. Imagine them threatening every industry or select industries to out right destroy altogether, leaving the make a change young politician to clean up the mess. If that is an extremely cold scenario to you then buckle your seat belts and do something about it because that is what's going on right now.
As we speak there is rising dissent in intentionally created scenarios to tear us apart. We as citizens can not let that happen. We must inform ourselves of the hidden education recquired to stand behind our President. Let him know we understand who the real perpetraters are and we will not let them influence us through their market manipulations. We will fight with you and protect you from those that have infiltrated our CIA, Secret Service, FBI and any other entity agents of their ideaology are embedded.
If you are one of the people that wonder why nothing ever changes and consistently get's worse is because none of you all have been equiping yourselves to understand who the enemy is. When people who are in the know attempt to inform you or society writes them off as crazy or uninformed, leaving them to stand on the frontline by themselves as easy prey. In some cases classified information has been released by the CIA or FBI admiting to all sorts of crimes against United States citizens. Since these issues seemed to not have affected the purchase of that new car, vacation or wardrobe it all went in one ear and out the other. That is until it did affect the home owner, stock holder, car buyer you name it. Now all these hands are in a fuss.
Right now the protesters at these tea parties largely seem misguided. Throwing out politically judgemental labels such as Socialist, Faschist, Communist. You name it and the Obama Administration has been attacked for it recently. My message to the protesters is that we all feel the same plight you do. But don't be used as puppets by factions you don't even understand. Do your research, educate yourselves and learn who the real culprits are and how to fight them. Arm yourselves with knowledge and give all of us leverage by utilize your power as a consumer. Boycott these banking systems.
Don't stop spending money you earn, but pay in cash. Don't use credit and request our government return our money back to the gold standard. Don't place yourselves in a box by disagreeing with one side of congress versus another. Understand they are birds of a feather. Let them and our congress know that no matter how hard the times these bankers want to impose on us that we will stand with them and fight. That we will not go crazy and kill eachother in the streets. That we are strong enough to handle the truth of the information. We will end our dependence on the banking system as a whole and no longer allow our global policy to be held hostage again. That's the fight we should be hearing not moronic name-calling that changes no policy and simply shows how ignorant you are, taking away the legitimacy of the argument.
