It's time, folks. Time to consider the fact that our government is no longer "of the people, by the people and for the people". Time to consider the fact that we are swimming in a pool of s**t created by the wealthy ruling class of America. Time to consider the fact that our new President, while well-meaning and ground breaking, is a political pawn. Time to consider that the coming Depression... yes... I said it... could have been avoided.
The Founding Fathers were well aware of the corruption of money and power. It is what they feared most for our fledgling democracy. It has come to fruition. They would act. Shouldn't we?
"The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
- Thomas Jefferson
