nothing but the money
NOTHING BUT THE MONEY
Money drives politics, whose duty it is to safeguard money's sources, privileges, and patrons from harm.
To this end money funds politics and politicians, who reciprocate in kind.
Obstacles are erected to protect money and its politicians from incursions from without and from intruders from within. One such obstacle is tariffs; other such are: taxes, laws, rules, regulations, and their professional enforcement regimes that are trained and hired to carry out money's commands.
To control, divide and befuddle the diverse masses, they promulgate myths and paradigms like white supremacy, black inferiority, the yellow peril, manifest destiny, the dirty Mexican, the Indian giver, and of course, American exceptionalism.
These are all layered to protect their money and to get your money, too!
All is directed to that end: the money: making it; keeping it; robbing and stealing it: legally if possible, illegally if necessary , while feigning fairness !
Buy what you need, not what you want, this Christmas and thereafter. Nothing but the money matters to them, not man, law, right or wrong.
Money props them up; money will bring them down. Once you were money, property; chattel not persons.
'The last shall be first and the first shall be last,' said the Bible. How? By and through dexterous monetary management by those on the bottom!
