Don't trust the government, don't trust the banks, don't trust the legal system, don't trust the media, don't trust the air we breathe, don't trust the water we drink. Where does this end?
Answer is usually in the middle, not at the extremes. From Post #1307, Reagan did have one quote that I liked..."Trust, but verify".
But then, I am wasting my finger tips....

Those three you right on.

I look at things this way and even more so in the last 15 years.

Government, Banking, Corporations are all one and the same and should not be trusted at face value. Regardless of parties.

They all protect each other for monetary gain and power.

I do not roll up all corporations and businesses together but some fall into the above class.

When one looks at the revolving door between Treasury and Goldman Sachs and the lack of prosecutions from the recent financial crisis, there's a lot of merit to these points.

Yep don't forget MF Global.

How all these executives switch suits.

Tax cheat Timmy Geithner, Fed & Treasury and on the board of the IMF. Talk about the fox whacking the hen house.

You all think Im on a side, I am. But it's not the political discourse fighting over peaty shit.

This is exactly what Government, Banksters & Corporate Media wants.

As they rob us blind....

Just imagine if the People stood together.

money in your wallet=you are a part of the system
mortgage or car loan=you are a part of the system
work for a private enterprise that makes money=you are a part of the system
work for any level of government=you are a part of the system
