We The Puppets

The Koch brothers will continue to fund Tea Party groups, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, and Citizens for a Sound Economy ($12 million so far). The Republicans and Democrats will continue to be funded and controlled by the super rich contributing to PAC funds. We the people, will continue to be puppets as the media, owned by the super rich, pull the strings.

Our bias, beliefs, and prejudices will be satisfied by news stories with misleading headlines. On the web, we will continue to seek out and find, not new worlds, but affirmation that our biases, beliefs and prejudices are right. Although facts are available to provide the truth, we can't handle the truth. We will not let the facts get in the way of lies, exaggerations, and we will not let the facts help us to help ourselves.

It remains a mystery that the average working person seems to be against organizing and demanding a greater (and fairer) share of the corporate wealth. The average people at the top of a company used to earn 20 times the amount of the average worker. Today, the average people at the top of a company receive 200 to 300 times the amount earned by the average worker. As top executives receive millions in bonuses after accepting taxpayer bailouts and as top executives are paid millions in severance pay, workers are no longer needed. Yet, workers blame unions! Wow! The wealthy have become experts at pulling the strings of 'we the puppets'.

Tomorrow, more of the same.
