Maybe then this shit will be retarded enough for someone to say "enough."

Otherwise we'll just continue to be owned by China and The Fed and it will never change. Drastic changes are detrimental to that plan. They don't like extreme, because it causes people to think. They want to own you slowly, a nickel at a time, because then people just grumble about it and carry on.

Fact: It will never change or be 'fixed' until we've hit rock bottom and there is no more money to be squeezed. So tax the fuck out of everyone. Now. Let's do this and get it over with.
