Who wants their government to be led by people who’s assets are hidden, who’s financial transactions are conducted anonymously offshore?

Ordinary people are paying taxes, rich people are not. So this is inequality and this is leading up to popularism.

Today offshore is the way elites and multinational cooprrations conduct affairs, tax evasion is the way business is done.

This kind of cheating reuqires a sophisticated infarstrcuture of higly eucated people who think it’s their right to help others to cheat societies.

America has been experiencing a steady decline in living conditions for more of its people each year, wealth disparity has been burned into the system by an economic model that rewards the haves and punished the have nots. Regardless of this reality for so many, American government, media, and education proudly celebrate their nation, constantly reminding its own citizens and the rest of the world world that is the greatest nation on earth.

Concentration of Wealth and Power

10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth and Power

Concentration of wealth yields concentration of power, particularly so as the cost of elections skyrockets, which forces the political parties into the pockets of major corporations. This political power quickly translates into legislation that increases the concentration of wealth, so fiscal policy like tax policy, deregulation, rules of corporate governance, and a whole variety of measures. Political measures designed to increase the concentration of wealth and power which in turn yields more political power to do the same thing, and that’s what we’ve been seeing.

Your President is Horrible, Your Boss is Worse, and Your Board Even More So

The day after he won the election, people in our New York office were crying, devistated that such a horrible person had taken control of one of the most evil imperialist nations to exist.

They’re some of the lucky ones in America, though not truly that lucky in the scheme of things. The company they work for is, comparitively much more generous than other American organizations.

Around that time our office was also subjected to the picketing of the Verizon store below us, the shouts of the subjugated workers all day long were distracting to our workers, who were sent home early because it was obvious no work was being done.

America Will Collapse

As an Australian who spent 6 years in the hyper-capitalist center of the world (New York City) I’ve had to improve my coping mechanisms immensely as the harsh reality of massive inequality was shoved in my face.

Last year I moved to a small town in Colorado to run-out-the-clock as I shift my career back to Perth to get away from a nation that’s tearing itself apart .

This strongly held opinion of mine (and many others ), that America is a failed nation and heading towards widespread collapse is not something I share too much with the Americans that I interact with on a daily basis, because to most of them that sounds like nonsense.

When I arrived to the United States in 2011 my friend told me he had been at the Occupy Wallstreet demonstrations the previous week, I thought he was crazy.

“We’re new to this Country dude, why would you go there and risk your Visa like that?” - Me

“I care about this sort of stuff dude, it’s important that we stand up for what’s right” - Him

Deep down I knew that he was right, but I was too scared of The Empire to do anything like that, instead for the next few years I put my head down, worked 9-6 in New York City, paid a tonne on Money on rent, and booze, and other things, and dealt with the crushing knowledge that I was making $100,000 a year, and someone was making a $1,000,000 or more off of my back.
