Money is not the purpose of life. When we focus our
politics on reorganizing money rather than changing the power we give it
and the power we give those who hoard all of it, we accomplish nothing.
All we do is help those with the money and the power keep playing their
game.
Meanwhile, money is not an evil thing. It is a tool. We
let our tools run our lives far too often. (Technology is also a tool.
We rely so heavily on technology that we abuse it to complete our every
task. No one knows how to DO anything anymore.)
I'm tired of
budget arguments. They're empty because they were never intended to
actually make the country a better place. They're intended to move money
around, so long as we keep the status quo afloat. At the same time, I
get caught up in pointing out the blatant problems with candidates'
budget plans. Because our ability to encourage real change has been
wrenched out of our hands, and when we try to exercise it, we are
arrested and called terrorists and made to be the enemy of the people.
Sighing all day long.
