If destroying the economy = MORE $ in sm pockets.. then those pockets will

[oscar111]

guide the economy to destruction.

If they are in power.

This paradoxical pattern never occurs to Joe Voter. He always assumes that the ruling party wants to improve the economy.

But as Runaway Factories prove, .. destroying an economy can help pour MORE money into a few pockets.

In that situation, those pockets act to destroy the US economy.
Which destroys the Middle Class.

Joe Voter always assumes that no one would benefit from destroying the economy.
==========================
This paradoxial pattern is hard for amateurs to figure out on their own.. so another reason why we need to spread AAR to every radio in the nation.

Ask union LOCALS to do what the ANCHORAGE IBEW local just did... buy a station and put AAR on.

1. But what I cannot understand is why those who destroy an economy in

order to line their own pockets cannot seem to understand that by destroying that same economy, the lining they have placed in their pockets will eventually (and probably sooner than they expect) will become useless...

2. $ not useless if they go Riveria to live, leaving destroyed economy behind

or go to Brazil, etc.

3. Not if

They move to another nation where their money is worth more there. Or put them in offshore bank accounts.

4. As individual capitalists

they have to. If they don't they'll get left behind by the others. They can't afford to pay dollars per hour if their competitors are paying cents overseas.

For capital the short-term is always overwhelmingly more important than the medium or long-term.

5. They have built themselves an impregnable moat ....

...with tax code changes, government subsidies, war contracts, energy bills, police state legislation, domestic spying, secret courts, rigged elections and fiat currency.

They own the real assets, the government, its budgets, the banks, and the giant corporate matrix that rules over all. They could give a shit less what happens to ordinary people. It will take a major military conflagration to undo the harm done to ordinary citizens by this ruling clique. They have undone virtually all the democratic progress made in the twentieth century.

IMHO we are on totalitarianim's doorstep.
