Government, What Is It Good For?

Government, What Is It Good For?

Extreme hucksterism is the real star of the corporate show.

Extreme hucksterism is the real star of the corporate show. That’s why American government foolishly thumbs its nose at its average citizens by showering corporations with tax, lobbying and environmental breaks from all three branches. That only makes those corporations socialist Godzilla welfare queens with William Shatner sized sense of entitlement and Vladmir Putin’s allegiance to America.

Government is governing. Government exercises lawful authority so that it can manage its functions. In America, government is by representative democracy. Government is good. At times, certain members of government are bad. Government still remains good. For example, although each had admirable traits, that did not mitigate the fundamentally destructive fact to America that Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, the most recent looters of America, were way wrong when each unsuccessfully tried to use the macroeconomics of capital shortage, taxes and regulation aka government as blame for America’s decline from # 1 in production. Government had nothing to do with it. U.S. industry’s corporate Bad-Boy Executives are solely to blame for their company’s drop in production.

The microeconomics put into play by corporate managers is what, and who, is responsible for any recession. It is quite revelatory. Capital shortage is due to the capital that instead was expensed, destroyed or transferred. Like in wars, illegal drugs, prisons proliferation, wealth inequality (wealth is just far too important to trust it solely to the rich), plant and animal extermination, blind eye to mortgage fraud, large carbon footprint SUVs, Hummer limos and private jets, Golden Parachutes of avarice, billions of American dollars stolen in Iraq, ego-mansions, and environmental degradation.

Like in the stifling censorship and homogeneity of mega-media’s, and disturbingly increasingly blog’s, corporate treatment of content as news and entertainment that has zero edification, inspiration, relevancy, or depth. It’s just flimsy wrapping for extreme hucksterism. That extreme hucksterism is the real star of the corporate show. This extreme hucksterism by the corporations is a dangerous rapidly growing virus-like acting contagion.

Hucksters consumed the capital. The capital shortage is in poor health, lack of education, intolerance, ignorance, plant and animal welfare, bigotry, environment, and crumbling infrastructure. By definition, capitalism is blind to all. There is so much more to life, and in each one of us, than financial profit. Therefore, it is the function and duty of government to fairly and reasonably tax and regulate to provide properly for all that capitalism proudly fails to provide.

GOVERMENT, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR

We Americans have been conned by the corporations into riding off into an illusionary sunset. Corporations know that government is good. It is the corporations that are bad. Their business model and capitalism require it. Here is what government is good for. It is American government that founded and has kept America alive and kicking for a lot of years. It is Great Britain government that subsidized the creation and development of industrial capitalism. It is American government that ended slavery while surviving and ending a civil war, ended prohibition, gave women the right to vote, gave protection to inter-racial marriage, workers, workplace, environment, animals, and kept the playing field level.

It is American government that arranged the settlement of the American West with the Trans-Continental Railway. It is government that built the Suez Canal, Hoover Dam and assists artists, and subsidies universities research and development programs.

It is American government that protects civil rights.
