Re: Fraud Factories: Rep. Alan Grayson
Horrific. And true.
Question.
1) Why is Grayson the only public servant standing up against these illegal corporate activities?
2) Why is the media not covering this fraud with the same fervor they provided ACORN, Obama's ex-Pastor, etc, etc?
(Well, I know that answer, but...)
This was a corporate land grab, a modern day Inclosure Act. This planned heist was always intended to steal from Americans while generating cash and consolidated paper wealth in the short run and landed holdings at the top in the long run.
Like the 18th and 19th century Inclosure Acts, the banks helped Americans lose what little they had left to end up with nothing. Now, faced with obliteration, Americans will be far more likely to give themselves over to whatever job or Sinclairian vision that will take place in our new third world.
Evil mutherf*ckers. When the people rise up and kick the moneychangers out of their towers, no one will cry.
No one.

Thanks to the fast food industry everyone is too fat to rise out of their chairs. They got their bases covered.

1) Grayson has balls, isn't afraid of confrontation and won't pander just to get someone's vote. Regardless of whether or not you agree with his politics, it's hard to argue against the fact that he has tenacity. This makes him a great public servant, but unfortunately I think it also means his career will be a short one, ending either by bullet or by smear campaign. The powers he's fighting against won't let him continue for too much longer.
2) Because the media - right, left or otherwise - is bought and paid for by other interests, combined with the intellectual laziness of the population. And it's disgusting. Disgusting that the spawn of Palin on Dancing With The Stars gets more headlines and attention than systematic, government sanctioned corporate robbery. Huxley was right. So long as you give people widgets, drugs and mindless entertainment, they won't care or even notice that you're robbing them blind and stealing their liberties.
Evil motherf*ckers indeed. Although I think intellectual laziness and complacency of the common voter is just as much to blame.

Re: Fraud Factories: Rep. Alan Grayson
Deca, that's a very good point. We've become a combination of Brave New World and Iron Heel - neither of which most Americans have read, though they can indeed tell us who won Dancing with the Stars. It's chilling. Especially to anyone who actually values real freedom and our nation, and not just panders to the lowest perversions of lazy "patriotism."
Awesome comment.

2) Because the media doesn't want to make it well known that a transfer of wealth, from many poor to a few rich, occurs during a recession/depression.

Re: Fraud Factories: Rep. Alan Grayson
That's the whole purpose of the economic cycle.
During an upturn, more people gain access to things of value through economic participation. For ordinary people, that means they get jobs producing and buying things of value. During a downturn, much of the capital that was produced in the upturn is transfered from poor to rich. Plus it makes workers more plentiful than jobs to push down wages. A certain level of unemployment is necessary to keep workers from getting uppity.
Without downturns, rich people would eventually own barely more than anyone else. We need downturns in order to have a wide gap between rich and poor. And we need unemployment in order to keep an asymmetric power relationship in the workplace. You ever seen an employer who needs a worker more than that worker needs the job? It happens occasionally, and it's not pretty for the employer.

Re: Fraud Factories: Rep. Alan Grayson
Wasn't Grayson supposed to be a flash-in-the-pan spotlight hound that would dissolve after his 15 minutes, or after a few months in the grind?
This is a man that knows what his job is supposed to be and does it without compromise. If only more politicians, or just regular people, regardless of ideology, were like Alan Grayson.
