Illuminati, or something more ridiculous?

     Some people think that George W. Bush was behind 9/11. A lot of people believe in a sinister group that calls themselves the "Illuminati". Some people believe that Wall Street's reckless trading crashed our economy. Then you have the group who believes in anarcho-capitalism, that blame the government for making laws that protect and/or serve corporate interests (Much like the popular Adam Kokesh). I could go on and on about conspiracy theories, and listing everyone that the finger is pointed at, however my point is that no matter what you believe there is probably a finer pointed at you.

    Personally, I don't believe in fairy-tales or fantastic stories of men in black suits planning the destruction of humanity via the "liberal-satanic-Jew-Muslim-paradoxal-CIA" media, but I do think that people with power are hungry for more. The fact of the matter is, the financial system is top-heavy. What I'm saying by this is that money = power. Whoever has the money, they also hold the power. For one person to gain, another has to lose. The greater the wealth of one man grows, the more people lose out. This is basic economics, and I'm not saying it is a good or bad thing, but why is this the ideal framework that everyone seems to support, even when they are born into a system with an extreme disadvantage? That answer is simple: the United States indoctrinates children into believing that capitalism, democracy, and having the biggest gun are the most important things to make a country function. I don't even have a college degree, and I'm willing to take on any pro-capitalist on this planet. What it boils down to is that there is no logical and fair way to implement capitalism free-market into society without the "necessary evils" of obtaining resources in other countries in exchange for gallons of blood.

    Well, by now I'm sure you're bored of reading this and wondering what my grand solution to the problem is - since I'm so fucking smart, right? Well, I don't have the solution. However, there is good news for those of you still holding onto this free-market capitalism fairy-tale. Making the same mistake, or doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results is NOT the definition of insanity, so you're good. I would presume that sort of behavior is not healthy, though.
