I don't think they are on our side. Maybe there's something to the theory that 9/11 was an inside job. Considering that very few of the oligarchs and miscellaneous billionaire bastards who are buying space in these dick-shaped monstrosities will actually reside or even spend any time in them, I wouldn't be surprised at anything that could happen. The people who would be destroyed by another terrorist attack would be just ordinary folks like those who perished on 9/11. Kinda makes me wonder. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-91297706038650614302015-05-26T12:15:12.922-04:002015-05-26T12:15:12.922-04:00Mob or no Mob, this is how PAL operates

Neither more money or more schooling equals more wisdom and more ethics. A politician is no greater or lesser than "average Jane / Joe" by virtue of the job they hold. What makes them greater or lesser is what they do with the job they hold. Currently, the majority of politicians are lesser than the average Joe/Jane. More and more we are hearing from The People, and hearing more wisdom, more common sense, more ethics from the People than from the politicians. <br /><br />I would say we are seeing a new time, in a time when the people are superior and most of the politicians are average. In record numbers, we did not vote, we did not take action to keep them in their job because they do not deserve their job and if government were a private sector they would have long ago been fired. Their performance falls between below average and failing the People. <br /><br />The People may be by one definition, size, where the average belie, but all across the country we are seeing the truth is the People have more heart, soul, common sense, wisdom than the government. We have an average government doing the leg and foot work of the corporations. <br /><br />The People are demanding an above average, superior government to do the work of the People. <br /><br />Yes, I would go so far as to say it is the government, the politicians, who are performing average and failing. I am not condemning all politicians. Some, a very few, are taking the hard road, doing the work for the People. <br /><br />The facts:<br /><br /> Mr. President, it's an extraordinary fact, between 1985 and 2013, the bottom 90% of our people lost $10.7 trillion in wealth that it otherwise would have had if the distribution of wealth had remained the same level as it was in 1985.<br /><br />We had the same distribution of wealth, the bottom 90% would have had close to $11 trillion more wealth. Meanwhile, the top .1% experienced an $8 trillion increase in wealth as the distribution of wealth became increasingly unequal. What a phenomenon. Huge transfer of wealth from working people to the millionaires and billionaires.<br /><br />http://www.budget.senate.gov/democratic/public/index.cfm/2015/3/sen-sanders-continues-to-fight-for-middle-class-in-budget-battle<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-8861096333924003302015-05-24T12:41:36.717-04:002015-05-24T12:41:36.717-04:00And then we have the contracted workers who do job...And then we have the contracted workers who do jobs around here.
