I've been trying to avoid laying blame on any one particular school of political thought.. but just as a FYI.. any "free democracy" which spends 56% of it's national budget on military/armaments and only 12% combined on education and healthcare isn't IMHO a "free and open" democracy.. most tyrannical juntas spend a higher proportion on infrastructure education and health.. for example Iraq in 2000 spent 69% of tax revenues on health and education and only 15% on military..
We are being lied to and stolen from on a massive scale. Is it easier to say 150,000,000 Americans are being lazy, or that 400 Americans are being greedy? Yet it's the little people who are paying for this greed, being told that we can't "afford" healthcare and welfare when combined they amount to less that 15% of the national budget compared to tax avoidance by big business and individuals which clocks in at a massive 80% of national potential revenue.. then take in the military spend.. 56% not mentioning the other $1 trillion plus "black budget" which is hidden and funnelled into covert ops.. such as funding the so called "enemies" that are used to justify cuts in social spending and "austerity" while the top 1% carry on creaming it off like there is no tomorrow. We have a perfect exam;e in the UK.. 2 years ago one man paid himself £1.2 billion.. tax free.. it would take a minimum wage earner 97 million years to earn that.. what is the possible justification for allowing an individual to asset strip a nation in that way, dodging paying ANY tax on the income.. unless of course he owns our so called "representatives".. Time to wake up.. the criminals have stolen the world and we will all suffer for their greed..
The French had a solution in 1789.. time for some more of that..
