Who Ordered the Ponzi Scheme?

What happens when citizens choose to blindly believe and trust in a government that has been failing since its inception?

The U.S. wins with a national debt of $34,800,000,000,000 that’s thirty-four point eight trillion dollars. With the current population of the U.S. at 333 million people, that equates to $104,647 per person. A person doesn’t need to have a Phd in mathematics to recognize this is a scary problem; which highly praised economists agree it will only get worse with the years to come and technically is currently impossible to payback.

Why is it that while the blind is leading the blind we simply keep walking towards the cliff of no return? If you or I routinely screwed up at our jobs and created a deficit for the company, we would be fired immediately and labeled incompetent for others not to employ us. So why do Americans repeatedly elect what seems to be well-dressed, illiterate people just because they came from Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, or Yale…?

We, the troubled citizen, would be sent to jail for what many would say is a theft and fraud in broad daylight. While many struggling citizens get overly taxed to breathe air, that in itself seems to represent a Ponzi scheme. We are taxed multiple times for the same items year after year with what, in return? Example, our paychecks are taxed, what we spend with our earned pay is taxed, then we are charged an annual tax for our homes and vehicles; and when our time is almost up in life our retirement is taxed until death.

How is the Fed Bank so powerful that they can steal billions from the public and have the citizens say thank you for robbing us? This company, for instance, is run completely outside the purview of any regulations or laws. When they screw up something major while personally taking care of their friends, it’s the outside citizens that are forced to repay said screw up or highly educated failures. They only have the right to print money (debt) at their leisure and somehow get citizens and foreigners to purchase government Bonds that they buy back with the interest they themselves choose. Also, controlling the interest rates for all to suffer except large businesses making record profits that have sucked the soul of Americans wallets.

How have you and your family been living since the Covid project? Are you able to save more money, or are you paying record prices for most products and services? Our government depends on multiple media outlets, including sports (Olympics) to keep us from actually truly speaking to each other by finding childish things for us to focus on and using our petty differences against each other. Many are worried about the dirty person in an alley or the corner, but they just want food or drugs to numb the pain. It’s the men and women in suits with titles of Mayor, Senator, Congressman,… that are robbing us all in broad daylight; and at the same time getting thanked while the robbery is in process.

Why are we not outraged by the elected politicians and the Fed stealing our money? What’s worse is they throw it in our faces, and We The People applaud them as if they’re rock stars. If a person earns a salary of, let’s say, $125,000 and been at the job maybe 2-4 years, how are they living as millionaires? I will extend a formal apology if anyone can show me a politician or Fed representative who is living paycheck to paycheck as the dying middle-class or poverty-class. Who is policing them or holding them accountable for their crimes? So why are we stressed about our ill-used credit ratings as individuals when our government itself has a failed credit rating? The audacity!

I could end the deficit in 5 minutes.  You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.” Warren Buffett.

Lord Action writes to Bishop Creighton that the same moral standards should be applied to all men, political and religious leaders included, especially since Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (1887)

    It is a crime on what politicians and the government get away with as it relates to tax dollars. Its an even greater crime on the spending of said tax dollars, to fund projects and other interest that is not a return on investment for the regular US citizen. Welp glad I am not a Multi-Millionaire. Regardless of how much money I have, I would hate to write a check to Uncle Sam for over a Million dollars each year. Robbery without a gun.

      Yet once upon a time, citizens of the U.S. started a war due to a two-cent tax on tea for not feeling represented by the government. Today it’s hard to find people willing to fight for humanity; yet some ignorant people will kill for stepping on their shoes or because of jealousy and or fear of skin tone. Thank you for adding to the conversation.

    This was perfectly written!! our government depends on us being ignorant so they can carry on their crimes. If people actually spoke out in unity our government might actually have to do something about it but like you said people are so consumed in media etc to do or say anything about it. People have become comfortable with the scraps we’re allowed
