We are a militant nation, always have been. We are constantly at war. The drug war, the culture war, the war on homelessness, the civil war, world war, the war on terror, and on & on. Everything we do in this country is couched in militaristic terms and viewed through the lens of war. And yet perhaps the most significant war we are all fighting is the one that never gets talked about. The Haves vs. the Have-nots. The Haves pretty much control everything. They own the factories; they control the means of production, they write the laws, and have more money (capital) than most of us could spend in a lifetime.
Here is my take on economic history during my lifetime.
Reagan, Cold War hero, but villain, destroyer of the social safety net. Clinton, beast with his horn, trumped Reagan with NAFTA and de industrialization. The American dream was gone, the war was won, labour was expunged, America became a giant ghetto with archipelagos of wealth. Oblivious to their misrule the over-class has concocted a tale of meritocracy as self justification: the pox-americana.
if i could just do enough labor to buy gold...
Very interesting perspective food for thought
