There’s a worrying trend in the job market that the recovery is hiding

The still-rising number of Americans completely out of the labor force — now over a record 93 million people — is even more fully understood in the light of this sobering article today by Akin Oyedele at Business Insider.  The reason why a great many of these folks don’t even want a job is testament to the fact that the bloated welfare state — and its hypocritical corporate backers — have increasingly made work unattractive.

    All Democracies fail by this mode of failure. Corrupt politicians in order to keep their jobs offer more and more socialism until the system collapses.
    Keynesianism, Marxism, communism, extreme socialism never work in the long run.

    The real question is have we gone too far or could a swing to the right, fast enough and hard enough stop a collapse?

    Several years ago I believed (and still believe) we have passed the point of no return.
    I feel sorry for those who choose to work hard, because much will be stolen from you. The US government is clearly prepared to use force to control any dissent.

    Thomas Jefferson is credited with the following sage advice, “The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” And so it seems sometimes the answer is right in front of us all along and we just fail to see it.

      A statue was erected in Brooklyn to honor a champion of people’s rights against the government – Edward Snowden. The government went in to demonstrate to the entire world that the United States is all about government and not human or civil rights. The government has torn down this monument demonstrating that there is no innocent until proven guilty – they have simply declared him to be a traitor for telling the people those in government have been acting illegally and unconstitutionally. This illustrates the epic battle we face between right and wrong and just how anti-freedom the government has become. Everything we revolted against is back in full play. The king is dead – now long live the king.

      This proves the First Amendment (freedom of speech) is completely DEAD!
