This little line of mine...

Not hiring full time employees is not a new thing caused by obamacare. It's what the retail and food industries have been doing for ages to avoid having to give their employees health coverage and other benefits. Cutting hours so that someone is working part time hours does the same thing. It's a money making technique. They milk you for all of the work they possibly can at minimal hours and as low of pay as they can. That ensures that the company makes more in profit than it pays out to its employees. Wal-Mart is a really good example of this. Before Sam Walton's death Wal-Mart was a good place to work. Workers got good hours, good pay, benefits. After his death they're lucky to get their discount card without being fired for bullshit reasons.

It is rare for a major corporation to do what is in their employees best interests. The way our capitalism works is companies are charged with ensuring that their investors and share holders get paid by any means nessicary. This means that greed is easy to come by in corporations. Corporations cannot function well and make the money they want to if they have to pay people a livable wage.
In order to combat not making enough to live on the government created what we now call welfare assistance, and food stamps. The official title for these programs are Temporary Assistance for Need Families, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program respectively.
Many republicans want to cut spending on these programs as well as medicaid and medicare, both funded by the government. Doing so would drop thousands, if not millions, into poverty. Men, Women, and Children would go without food, homes or healthcare. They want to cut funding to them, or cancel them all together. What about military spending? The mere mention of cutting the billions that we spend on military spending and the government goes, "Woah! Wee need that money to keep us safe!"

So they keep us safe by invading other countries to look for one man and his cronies who are hiding at home? Right, and I'm the rightful king of scotland. Where do we draw the line? When do we realize that it is time for the people to do our duty and empty the government of everyone in it and start over? When are we going to realize that unrestrained capitalism is what is destroying this country? Not the liberals. Not the conservatives. Not those who have relying on government assistance programs. Not even the bloody terrorists. Companies who make billions and contribute nothing to society or to helping people are the worst problem we face here because they have a long leash.

Stay active my friends.

Small Truth

Our country is screwing its self and we are to blame. Not the government, not the corporations, us the citizens. The people are in the wrong. We became complacent with allowing the government to make things easy for us. We allowed them to infiltrate our lives, find out what we care about, and then they coerced us into caring about it more than our liberties.

A few tried to get others to stop falling for the distractions, but they were called "crazy" or were told it's all just a conspiracy. Now everyone’s eyes have been open to the fact that the world we have created is harsh and uncaring. Men, Women, and Children go to sleep in the streets without having eaten properly. Men, Women, and Children are harmed, murdered, raped, robbed, and exploited by someone every second of every day.

Only now are we starting to realize the underhanded deals our government has been making with the mega corporations. Some will think that we deserve it, that we did it to our selves. Others will become angry and want to do something violent about it. Then there are those who understand that it is time to take responsibility.

It is time My Fellow Americans. It is time to run for the offices that have been kept from the people for too long. It is time to put actions into words and fight against the corruption that we have allowed to fester under out very eyes. The government cows to corporate whims in order to make us work harder for less.

They spread lies that by raising the minimum wage the cost of living would go up. Why? Because companies would have to charge more to make a profit. So instead of making corporations who can afford it pay their workers more, the government simply makes things harder on We, the people.

Is this the end?

I've finally rounded out why the republican party has lost so much respect, and keeps getting negative numbers. It's not because of liberals, nor is it because or progressives. It's the morons that are elected to represent, what I find to be, a group of people who only want whats best for this country. Sure some are a little misguided and could do with a great deal of time away from the television, but those people exist in both parties.

The problem with democrats is that they very quickly make really sharp turns. Kind of like taking a sharp turn in a top heavy vehicle, things topple. Both parties have their problems, and in fact the whole separated party system is just a ploy by politicians to divide a once united peoples.

I personally don't take part in the party system. I pay attention to politics by gathering information from multiple sources, both liberal and conservative. I weigh each politicians words with their actions from the past, i.e; how they voted and what they're doing now. I look at who is trying to restrict our freedoms and what guise they are using, i.e; religion, acts of domestic terrorism.

To be quite honest we have more restrictions than freedoms. Our constitution was created with freedom in mind. Looking at it from a completely unbiased point of view, which is hard for many people. One can see that what is set forth in the constitution and the bill of rights protects everyone regardless of what the believe in. It gives people the right to believe what they want and not have to face persecution. It limits the powers of both the National and State governments, though it has a high emphasis on promoting states rights within reason.

I'll use the first amendment as an example. This amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

 This means that the states cannot pass laws because of religious beliefs. There is no grey area, they cannot do it because that would mean they are, in some fashion, passing a law that respects an establishment of religion. Which infringes on the rights of the people. This means that any laws passed banning gay marriage, or banning abortion, because of religion are to be deemed null. States cannot pass such laws based on religious beliefs because federal authority trumps state authority when it comes to the constitution and the bill of rights.

Another thing is that allowing abortion, transgender rights, gay marriage and a myriad of other things is a must in a government such as ours is supposed to be. Why? Because of the right to privacy. People should feel secure in their private information. The founding fathers knew this, which is why it is implied through out the bill of rights.

Just as people are allowed to stock up on guns for what ever reason, so long as they're not intending to go on a rampant murder spree. So to are people allowed to take part in these things that the government, and the people, is currently feuding over.

The truth about the so called "controversies" around these things is that they are smoke screens used to distract us from the real problems. The problems that the government is creating and forcing us to clean up. Low wages, chemical food tampering, corporate interference with the political process, the false war on drugs, the false war on terror, destruction of our planet. The list is almost endless.

If my words have pissed you off, or stuck a nerve. Good. Maybe it'll open your eyes to what's happening. We are on the brink of a war that would bankrupt this country. If we strike against Syria, then it's likely that will draw retaliation from other countries. America is currently the only country that is intent on attacking them for something that has nothing to do with us. The UK has said they won't interfere. China and Russia are watching with anticipation for us to fuck up. One little screw up is all it takes for a country to incite World War 3. This time our country will be the oppressors. This time it is us who will suffer the most. Our once great country will fail, hard, should we attack unprovoked or for no reason.

We will lose everything.
