I would like to spend as little of my life as possible as an economic philosopher.
Not that agreeing on tenants of our political-economy are of little importance- they are vital. Instead I seek to avoid this chore so I will not live my life as a type-face intellectual in an era when a real, physical revolution is needed.
Our financial system is politicized in a way that has crippled our country. Never before, has the government so extensively used its powers to print money and control credit to support an entrenched group of citizens. Of course this problem didn’t crop up in the Financial Crisis- that was just one act of a long-running play.
It is a play with many stages, because wherever there has been a regulated coin or bill of commerce, there have been individuals that have sought to expand the supply of it, while forcing the citizenry to exchange their goods for it.
You readers know this and that is why it tires me to write about it.
In this specialized day and age, we are trained that some people are expert writers, some people are expert policy makers and some people are expert builders. That division of labor. We should all just specialize in our own trade, pay our bills and taxes and let the expert’s sort out the rest.
But revolution should spring from no specialty. Just that recognition that the rights of your fellow citizens are being trampled- physically, politically, economically.
The truth we can all see is that we live in economically tyrannical times. Few will move to Detroit to be an honest banker when there are double digit returns to be made flipping government subsidized products- from mortgages to F-22’s.
We could discuss supply and demand until we are blue in the face, and heck we might just educate some people, but the time for idle talk must be over.
I for one cannot be the servant of a system that imprisons so many millions. That makes federal policy into a river of treasures for those that stand along its banks. A system that lies about its ability to ever repay its obligations, and maintain its fiduciary promises.
The hard decisions have been put off too long.
Friends, while it may seem like “the game” is the same as it always has been the fact is that our system has never been spread so thin. If we can get organized to change it right now, we can do it.
The question Are you in? If you are: Prove it. Get in touch to plan.
For more than words it is action that is needed!
