Why are we so worried about the money in politics? What about the corruption of the incumbency?
In a parliamentary government you attack your enemy with words(Theoretically these words express ideas and the best ideas win.) and the battle is fought at the ballot box. You don’t use the people’s resources to attack all newcomers. Obama militarized the government like never before, to attack his opponents with legal battles, tax abuse, fines, redistribution, and anything else he could think of. This is the real problem with our system, it’s not fake news, it’s the resources of the people being used against some of the people.

Before Obama it was bad enough with senators using their office to get elected forever. But he transformed America, and stepped it up a notch. Everything he did which is not talking and getting votes is immoral. Everything he did shouldn’t have to be illegal, it should be voted out. But how do you do that now? How do you push out the dictator once he abolishes voting? The IRS is an institution of the people, yet it is mobilized to attack Conservatives. The institution given oversight of corporate fraud is an institution of the people, yet fines are levied against conservative companies, or fines may be avoided if payoffs are made to other liberal groups. The institution of the people was enabled to “rebuild infrastructure” with two trillion dollars of stimulus. The reality is that money was given to unions, who gave it back to the Democrats. And all the reporting institutions were twisted to report fake numbers to make the economy look better than it was. Even the park service was used to make the ‘government shut down’ look worse than it was. There is very little problem in the relationship between contributors and candidates. The real problem lies in the relationship between elected officials and the resources of the people. The recent name for this body of militant bureaucrats is “the deep state”. Which is treated as a conspiracy theory. Though they may operate like terrorist cells isolated from one another, they are driven by a common ethos like Islam. The threat is real.
This is the same situation with public sector unions. The supposed romantic purpose of the union is to protect the worker. (Though the reality is much more sinister. Often unions were started protect white people from black labor or immigrant labor.) The history as we are told, is that evil corporations were exploiting their workers, so the people had to unite to form unions to protect themselves. That is what we are told by Disney propaganda films like Newsies. Are we really supposed to entertain the notion that the the teachers, working for the ‘local’ school district, ostensibly controlled by the people, are being abused? The people are abusing their workers, so they form unions, the union bosses go and fight it out with the representatives of the people in chambers of state office? The elected representatives of the people shaken down by as special interest group, pretending to be the people. Here we have the same problem noted above. These teachers and their unions have all the power in setting curriculum. Do you think they are going to teach a history which undermines their power. Do you think they are going to undermine the romantic notion of Unions?
Taking the people’s resources and using those against them is theft and worse. Today we are finding out that the Trump Russia Collusion story was jut a big lie. The Democrats have been using the corrupt tactics of the legal system to attack Trump. The solution begins with getting your kids out of this system and teaching them what God actually did in this nation and all the other nations. Teach them the beautiful Laws of God. Then we need to vote out every person who participated in this Russian scam(Can we posthumously unelect John McCain? At least stop pretending Meghan has coherent thoughts? Pretty please?). And what happened to impeaching judges, when did they become God? We need to stop patronizing every media outlet which pushed this fake story. Then we need to replace these people with people who will replace the system with a system in which this isn’t possible. Why is it possible for the legal system to inflict such harm where no actual crimes occurred? Why was it possible for so many lies to be taken seriously by judges furthering charges which an 8th grader in 1776 would have seen through? Why do incumbent Senators get to use their offices to get reelected? Why is the IRS so complicated that it is possible to attack political enemies? Why are we attacking corporations with so many layers of fines and shakedowns? Because we have made the government too powerful. The powers of the ‘special’ people in government need to be reduced so that the freedom of the people might be expanded.
Sadly, I think the roots of this problem are the sin of the people. We like it when the government does bad things because that means we don’t have to do them. Do you want to go door to door asking your neighbors for money to protect a worm? We don’t want the responsibility because we are cowards. The historical manifestation of these problems was probably, Abraham Lincoln. Under Lincoln’s rule, we decided it was ok to break all the rules as long it was for a really good cause like ‘ending’ slavery and creating hostile race relations to this day. Well we don’t like to talk about that last part. See paragraph above about teacher’s unions. But that’s the reality. Corrupting the rules to meet immediate ends, is a bad idea. If you make a bad law to entrap someone, it will eventually entrap you. Think, Haman. Hoisted on one’s own petard? Anyone? Our forefathers knew this. This is the Biblical wisdom of British Common Law made American Constitutional Government. We worked this out before. These results are no surprise. A government given power will use it and you can bet they will use it for egoistic tyranny and not for the freedom of the common man, his common wife, his common children, in his common home, going to his common church. Which is the Biblical dream realized in 4th of July America. It is the American Dream, and this corrupt process eats away at that dream every day.
