Bringing Down Plutocrats
HE OTHER day I finally managed to catch up with news that I had missed whilst away in September. It was then that I resumed looking into plutocrats whom I understand enough to comment on. I am personally fed up with all that political ‘debate’ in the US — a debate that mostly seems to focus on two factions of the same party, the Business Party, controlled of course by business owners or plutocrats. Protesters often refer to them as the “one percent”.
Over the coming weeks or months I intend to spread and to share my understanding of scams such as the Gates Foundation, only one among many such ‘charities’ whose main function is PR, tax evasion, and many other things. It’s not unique, but understanding this one example often helps people understand the rest. It trains people’s critical faculties and helps realisation of loopholes, spin, and deception.
One by one we can eliminate the delusion that multi billionaires are somehow more hard working, more deserving of political power, and above all deserving of a lot of love, recognition, and admiration from the public. To love one’s looter is not just sad; it’s sick, and people ought to do something about it.
