Power

"power and wealth concentrated in a centralized authority"

I'm begining to realize that power and wealth ARE concentrated in a centralized authority... the hands of the wealthy. Those same few who you say "pay all the taxes" shattered this economy for the rest of us.

I'm begining to think it's a toss up between the government screwing us, or the private sector bending us over. There are the greedy bastards on one side and a gluttonous bureaucracy on the other.
Just because one legislates, doesn't mean the other side is not in control.

        Labels are important. If you call someone something he isn't, then you can blame him for being something he's not. (n/t) - ER - 5/22/2009 10:56:45 AM
