it plans to continue its campaign against the rant about what's going on around the world why are we all just sitting down while our fearless leaders are trying to decide what to do with our future here's a list of questions for president obama why do we bail out auto makers who wouldn't make an electric car why do we say no to legalize a harmless plant and tax new to how the revenues of the country why we object billions into banks that raise the bar so high on loans no one qualifies when we give bonuses to employees with our money and start small businesses whose main street bailout why didn't every citizen get some type of monetary boost why are we complained in our grandchildren will inherit huge debt they aren't going to pay it any more than we do what's wrong with universal money system who cares whose picture is on a piece of paper and if the government creates these new expansion of government jobs how do we get rid of these temporary jobs when we recover why do we allow crooked politicians and lobbyists to control our country and why do we keep using fossil fuels as a leader of the world when we know we can quit using them for cleaner energies like what the venus project reaches for president obama why didn't you put money into the economy was the stimulus directly to the consumers so we could spend it back into businesses and help our economy instead the monies went to the banks wall street and auto conglomerates who stuff their pockets and still lay off workers and choke our recovery why are we not on the fair tax system and stop all this illegal taxation by the i r s anyone with money knows how to avoid taxes loopholes so give us the tax that everyone would pay these questions do not approach the main ingredient to what brought our society to this point mostly it's just capitalism with a lot of greed in all of us allowed to greed to unbalance the entire program listening to this rant you might think it's a typical right wing or spot up but no it's not right or left they both corrupt the middle until we start to wean off the monetary system into a resources term we will not fix anything in fact if we continue on the road we are on the nucular holographs will happen you can't get to korea china iran pakistan india israel cuba venezuela and russia are not all in situations that sooner or later someone will get control of the has no control and then the dominoes will begin to fall he also can't think that inside the us borders are safe from bombings suicides or terror attacks from enemies of our belief system we better wake up and secure our borders and start to try to be fiscally responsible in our own country we need to restructure the way our congress and senate conduct business we need to outlaw the lobbyist and perks that cause the greed that corrupt what our country stands for but maybe we are so corrupt that we can't fix it maybe we are the great satan that some cultures seem to think we are but maybe we are the only light that can lead humanity into the future with peace and freedom for all if we don't change our ways we are doomed forever here are some other questions to ponder why do banks charge twenty to thirty dollars for overdraft in your bank account when all they really do is suggest a number in a computer this is billions of dollars yearly gambling income from us to them why isn't our money back by the same amount of gold as its value like it used to be so we don't get runaway inflation why does the government borrow money from  privately owned federal reserve who then charges immediate interest on this money when the government could print its own money and not pay this giant interest debt in fact an easier question why does a federal reserve even exist why does the internal revenue exist if the i r s was holes part of our income and then later pays part of it back to us aren't we considered government employees don't we work for  we are the government then we are stealing from ourselves if we are the government then why do we send the lowest i q people there to work if we are the government then why don't they listen to anything we say why don't we
