Risen from the dead, nothings c h a n g e d!
Hello there!!! As I’m sure you all know who I am no introduction needed….I don’t know whether I’m happy or sad to be back, but certainly a lot has happened since I perished from this earth. I would like to speak on the oppression and control that the government has inflicted on you all. Which is what’s going on at this time, as I once said "for at least twenty five years before the specter of totalitarianism became a real threat, we had progressively been moving away form the basic ideas on which Western civilization has been built (67) therefore a lot of central control is what’s going on, which can leads to socialist or fascist oppression. This goes hand in hand with the problems that you all have been facing. Too much restrictions leads to chaos and that’s what’s happening right now! These hard times remind me of the great depression where people are losing their jobs, homes which resulted to emmensive amount of debt. Instead of the preceding from World War II it’s the preceding from the Iraq War that launched the rise of economical obliteration. If the system were changed from the way it is now people wouldn’t have to suffer by purchasing things they don’t have. This inevitably puts them in debt for living beyond their means, that’s created by the government itself. So putting the people in that kind of position creates destruction for the country. The government is setting the people up for failure, where they promote certain ways of living that people in reality can’t afford. This is an issue within itself because these corporations are taking money from the people and deceiving them through mortgage rates, credit cards with high interest rates. As I said before “Planning, because coercive, is an inferior method of regulation, while the cooperation of a free market is superior "because it is the only method by which our activities can be adjusted to each other without coercive or arbitrary intervention of authority.”(29) Which is the basis of how this country is being ran at this time, the focus is more on authoritarianisms and less on liberalism, and freedom of the overall citizens of this nation. “Such centralized systems also require effective propaganda, so that the people come to believe that the state's goals are theirs.”(168)

I couldn't agree with myself more. The American government has taken too many liberties, interfering with the prices of housing, mortagages, cars -- they encourage the people to buy things which they cannot afford, to "stimulate" the economy! Such a Keynesian concept. It is comforting to see my own superior, sensible ideas, here -- now if only they could be enacted!
