What those who are gaming the system want the bulk of us Americans to think ... is that OUR Government is to blame for the greed of those who are the wealthiest ... this doesn't just include billionaires  - many of whom are quite charitable ...

The average American falls into the $250k and below category ... 

In the debt and deficit triangle we have OUR Federal Government and we should be looking at the cumulative cost of state governments as well ... but no one discusses that comparison in the media ..... 

Taxes flow to OUR Government from we the people ...

those who make the most pay the most taxes ... but when you look at what's left over or disposable income ... the 98% accumulates very little surplus compared to the 2% while doing 100% of the work ...

add to that the fact that the 98% are spending the most .... including paying for wars and tax breaks to the rich which is an expense the wealthy seem to want everyone else to ignore .... the dollars they pay are the same dollars they lend to OUR NATION .... 

Corporations are undemocratic totalitarian organizations controlled by the 2% but employing the 98%

Those who subordinate themselves to the corporation are sometimes rewarded with high salaries and expensive benefits ... usually after decades of working for the corporation as indentured slaves .... 

some few individuals claw their way towards the top ... inevitably not based on ability but based on corporate politics ...

above a certain level in the corporate pyramid incompetence is ignored ... in fact those who do the most economic damage to a corporation receive huge severance packages that would feed and cloth thousands of human beings ... and more in third world countries ..

this is never brought into focus by the corporate owned, sponsored and managed media

many reading this will become quite angry at me for what I'm saying  - because it is the truth  - and we each don't like to think we are so gamed by the system ...

no one wants to be reminded that they are trapped in a social and economic system that is ultimately unfair and that rewards the most ruthless and greediest few individuals while ignoring the majority

there are exceptions just like their are lottery winners ... and the odds against ordinary workers advancing to the top are just as great as winning the lottery  - no matter how capable an individual is ..

Many in America have inherited wealth and can attend blue chip universities that guarantee job placements near or even at the top of Corporations ..

OUR President is an exception and there are many others .. however most majority stock holders and CEO's etc are operating with OPM's  ... their parents and grandparents who left them millions if not more ..

that is why inheritance taxes are so important to Republican leaders ... the wealthiest Americans finance the careers of politicians in exchange for favorable tax laws ... commonly know as loopholes

Now let us step back and understand that none of this is all that complicated ....  so then why isn't it discussed in the media?

Because the media is owned and sponsored and managed by the perps.

Wealth is accumulated in a few ways ... thrift, wages and profits .... thrift is the difference between wages+profits and spending.

Taxes are paid out of what is left over after expenses or net income ...  if someones income is barely enough to cover expenses they normally don't pay income taxes .. these are the people the Republicans characterize as deadbeats who do not pay taxes.

However the 98% have hardly enough to spend after food and shelter and clothing plus the normal amenities of life like phones and transportation and TV etc etc .... and on top of that Corporations require their workers to have advanced educations and transportation and required attire which are paid for by the worker.

Often workers have corporate dress codes that require extra expenditures ... 

Jobs can be meaningless and unfulfillable even when compensation is high. As workers move up the ladder they know less and do less until they reach their level of incompetence ....  those who get above a certain level are immune to accountability and can rely on relationships to survive ... others are vulnerable to being fired when the Corporation wants more profit.

Corporations have so much hidden surplus they can afford to waste enormous sums of money to maintain control and power over the lives of workers.

That is the system of capitalism ... where the many are forced to work for the few in order to live .... 

Compensation for work flows into workers pockets and then quickly back into the pockets of Corporations .... in some cases taking  an alternate route in the form of taxes ...

This is true for most workers ... even those with a surplus who are constantly induced by the corporate media to spend their surplus or in most cases to borrow in order to make extra purchases.

So let us step back a moment and catch our breath .... 

We need to spend money on education, clothing, transportation in order to meet the requirements of Corporations .... most do not fully meet the ever changing requirements and corporations filter out the best and last expensive candidates for jobs and discard the rest ...

when profits dwindle workers are fired ..  often in-spite of what they know or have accomplished ...

SOooo here is the vicious cycle in a nutshell assuming you haven't inherited enough wealth to render the need to work un-necessary ...

from even before birth you are an expense to your family and eventually yourself as you grow old enough to work ...

Work is expensive and requires an education as well as proper attire and transportation ... 

What you receive for working as an employee must be spent to live and goes back to the employers

A portion of what you make is paid to OUR Government for social services ... or those items a society needs that no one individual can afford to provide themselves ... included in that are many things  - military spending is number one ..

but what is spent on the military also goes back to employers ...

in fact all taxes end up being spent and go back to benefits employers or capitalists ...

BUT wait  ... it gets even better ..

Those making all the surplus lend it to the masses who are constantly being induced to puchase items beyond their ability to afford ...

college, automobiles, homes and lots more .... all these items are sold by those who are profiting from consumers ... the employers!

and consumers are the 98%

Now when it comes to such items as social security and medical care - although consumers pay a portion all their lives to protect themselves as they age .... the wealthy say that they must have tax incentives to create jobs and that the masses must receive less in social security and medical care ... while paying more to the wealthy to pay for these incentives .... 

This brings us to the subject of income inequality.

There is more surplus hidden away offshore by the wealthiest Americans than the total amount of Americas debt .... !!

This surplus is the result of what I will call "profit inequality" ..

As workers labor longer and are more productive ... the resultant profits they create are not returned to the workforce but are siphoned off like the anti in a poker game ..

Gambling is a perfect example of how the 98% are being gamed ... the anti is unfair

100% of what the workers earn goes back to those who are paying for their labor ...  aka the owners of capital .... who take out an anti and hide it away ... often in swiss bank accounts or somewhere it won't be seen and taxed ...

Accountants and lawyers play an important role in all of this  .. and are themselves often very wealthy as a result ..

The lack of proper education (public schools)  and no information (the corporate media) keeps a large portion of the 98% in the dark ..

much of this is fairly complicated .... but the technique used is calculated neglect

When it is discussed in the media tons of issues are used to distract the public at large from the truth ...

Most Americans are too busy struggling to survive or send their children to college or repair their automobile to pay much attention to this rigged system ..

The perps are constantly shouting at the public thru bull horns and blaming OUR Federal Government for the problems ...

Meanwhile the trillions sit offshore and quietly some of it is being used to take over America from the top down starting with OUR Federal Government ...

Divide and conquer ... since state governments are much more corruptible and controllable .... 

It's simple  - pry open your eyes and your mind and start paying attention.
