I hear about how people are struggling to make ends meet and this definition of financial abuse really fits...what is happening to us.
Financial abuse is the abuse of a system, person or group of persons whereby the aggrieved party is unfairly or illegally, severely or even minimally, compromised in his or her life savings or income.

We are being financially abused.
http://www.imaginaryfutures.net/2006/10/08/ipe-lecture-8/When the wealthy ship jobs overseas to avoid safety regulations paying minimum wage and paying taxes and they hire immigrants for below substience wages,or make them slaves it means.. We all are being financially abused.
When the social safety net is destroyed,people left to die in disasters by a government we pay taxes to to provide these services to us fail us vbecause social welfare programs to help us have been are defunded and social security is robbed bare,realize WE ARE BEING FINANCIALLY ABUSE!!!
When people protesting this abusive injustice and inequality problem in the systems of politics and markets peacefully and our cries for help are met with police on horses cracking heads with batons and riot cops to intimidate us ,and active denial pain rays,when whistle blowers on the corruption are dissapeared or smeared it means we are being systematically ABUSED by the tyrants in our own country.

A double standard is unfair. It means that the abuser, for example, can demand immediate compliance with his or her wishes but the abused person cannot.

http://ranprieur.com/readings/jensenbox.htmlIf the greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed, then perhaps the greatest victory for the corporate class has been the general acceptance among the masses of the inevitability of capitalism as the only viable system for running the world...
When we attack each other,blame each other,we are identifying with the abuser instead of our humanity, instead of attacking the source of our collective pain, we are not confronting the people abusing us, the causers of our suffering the scams and the corrupt,we let them off the hook,and refusing to aknowlege the financially abusive situation we are suffering from clearly for what it IS.

http://www.jmooneyham.com/bright.htmlhttp://www.unknownnews.org/070217a-Panther.htmlHow long will people continue to suffer abuses by those in power like battered people? How long will people sacrifice themselves to protect the abusers and let them continue to financially abuse us at our expense? Are you willing to die for false belief that abusers tell us to obey? Or not? Do you know the rulers have no right to dominate us? That authority is nothing but an illusion?
http://ponerology.blogspot.com/....For some reason, the American people at large believe they are no better than the abuse that is given to them. They tolerate the mismanagement of their resources, the destruction of liberties, unnecessary taxes and foreign wars because they think this is all they are worth.
http://www.demandmore.org/2007/11/19/tolerating-abuse/Could it be the way we live traumatizes us,and it has been this way for so long we have accepted this as"normal life"?
In abuse situations it has a pattern of increasing severity until it becomes intolerable to be in the"relationship" any longer.
As the abuser realizes he is losing control there are fewer and fewer options for escaping the situation non violently, the longer we deny this and tolerate it the pressure builds.That intolerable need to get out from under the elites oppressive greed,grows the time of awakening of society to the reality of abuse on a mass scale is fast approaching.We know the abusers will resist giving up control and those lavish lifestyles. But we must make it so either they stop abusing us,let us live or we sacrifice yet again by bucking under and taking it,Eventually we will feel so much pent up anger deprivation,,frustration and resentment,at what the elites have done to us ...Things will explode.
When the truth that we have been financially abused for generations,what we have TOLERATED, for WHAT? Why?.. becomes consious, we awaken en masse to how long we have been exploited and lied to and led to hurt ourselves and each other for NOTHING..and if we cannot convince the abusers to stop realize nothing can appease them or can force them to stop abusing us at that time..You can be sure their blood will be running in the streets as the hungry and hurt seek relief from ther long repressed suffering through the social catharsis of revolution..that offers release but no solution..
http://neelmanijbhatia.sulekha.com/blog/post/2006/11/literature-social-idiom-social-catharsis.htmhttp://www.healingmagic.org/avoiceforfreedom/Final1.htmlWe who see this process have to be aware of the dynamics of social change and personal change,to be there afterwards to help people see for themselves why this happens and help to ensure certain toxic personalities do not have access to power and wealth to abuse entire nations of people again.
So the elites have a choice to make ,NOW.. either they come clean with all the corruption and games thefts and abuses,take their punishments,learn to contain their insatiable greed,and overweening ambition for more control and power. Just stop the financial abuse of we the people, right now..
Or you fucking elite wastes of skin can wait for the pressure to rise from the bottom up, until it is at your door as the resources to survive are sucked into the coffiers of the rich until the people awaken with nothing for their efforts to appease and play your rigged game, deciding it is time to fight the power,because thier lives depend on it.At that point there are no more choices for the elite exploiters,except to die a well earned death at the hands of those they exploited..or try to hide from the inevitable.
The people the elites abused,have been trained to believe they were weak and the society that accepted abuse convinced them they are to blame for all their failures in their lives .Tormented lonely people who believed they had to stay in line and bow because they feared the threats of force when they were atomized,all alone..before the hardships of financial abuse drove them into each others homes to survive. When the elites keep people atomized the insanity caused by inequality and domination is tenuously controlled through threats and media spectacles act as a soma as violence rises and mental illness claim many people along with suicide,stress related illnesses and trauma.The suffering and pain the inequality of power causes builds from the bottom up...When a big majority of people are suffering.I think when enough people will finally see who and what their true oppressors are,and realize it is not each other, but the burdens that are created,caused and exploited by the wealthy elite.Things will change when the enchanting lie of the "american dream" is broken upon the sharp rocks of the reality that we are all being abused and it has gone on for a long,long time.And history does NOT have to repeat itself.
