One has to wonder. There hasn’t been a single other country like the United States. Not one. There hasn’t been one other superpower that has not used its might to attempt to take over the world or parts of it. And there hasn’t been any other country that has generated the wealth the United States has generated and then gone on to use that wealth for aid to other countries around the world.
Not one.
In fact, thanks to Ronald Reagan there was a period of time when the United States was the only superpower and even during that period the United States did not attempt a world takeover or abuse those powers who were would-be superpowers such as the Soviet Union was. It allowed — and this was a bit crazy — those powers to rebuild and become superpowers once again.
So… Why?
One simply has to wonder why!
Like any living being, the United States is not perfect. It does many things that might be judged wrong, maybe even immoral sometimes, and it surely does many things that are or could be considered questionable. It makes no bones about acting in its own best interests.
That said, this is still the best country in existence and it is without doubt the only game in town. It is the only power that examines what it does and tries to fix it or at least put patches on it.
So once again, why?
Why would one branch of the government, more particularly one political party, want to move us in the same direction as those systems that have repeatedly failed throughout time? Why would that party glorify and laud the leaders of those countries and systems when it knows those leaders are murderers, mass murderers, mass murderers on a grand scale who steal their countries’ monies and repeatedly kill, imprison and/or abuse their people who speak out about what is being done to them?
It boggles the mind.
It really boggles the mind, and one simply has to wonder.
But of course we all know the answer. It’s not a pretty answer, but we all know it. Man is by nature selfish and greedy.
We have a class of people governing us now that our founders had not envisioned. Our founders meant for our leaders to serve their terms and then go home to their farms so a new group of leaders would take over. But now we have the political class, a class of people who are career politicians and who, therefore, have only one thing in mind and that is their personal re-election. It is clear and apparent.
This group of people, the American Politburo, is comprised of millionaires, or that is to say more than 60% of them are millionaires and many of them have become millionaires while being in office. Go figure!
But that’s why they want to stay in office. In office, as a group they vote themselves all these perks that allow them to spend our money and not their own and continually make more money for themselves. Great gig!
So, why?
Simply put, Vladimir Putin is said to be the richest man in the world. That’s the answer. The more these millionaire Politburo Democrats push us toward socialism, the more they guarantee we will all remain relatively poor while they and their heirs live like kings and queens.
Why? Think of The Hunger Games scenario.
