I am writing this economic protest letter because I am fed up with our rigged economic system and fearful that things are only going to get worse soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For most of my adult life I have been considered to be in the middle class, but now I consider myself to be just a slave to the corporate tricks and schemes of this messed up country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know for a fact that most of my financial problems are NOT my fault. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I don\u2019t control the minimum wage laws, I don\u2019t control inequality schemes, I don\u2019t control supply and demand cycles, I don\u2019t write the federal tax laws for this country, etc., etc…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another reason our country is getting financially messed up is because we have too many monopolies. Like military monopolies, medical monopolies, prison monopolies, technological monopolies, etc….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History shows that monopolies are well-known for reducing wages, controlling consumer prices, controlling slave employee benefits, killing competition, destroying workplace safety, and buying politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do we need more anti-trust enforcement? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do we need more anti-trust laws?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what might be even better is if we have a new political and economic system where monopolies can\u2019t be created in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need a new system that mostly benefits the middle class, one that helps it to grow and expand and stay healthy and happy all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t need systems or schemes that constantly hurt, attack, diminish and dehumanize the middle class on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cAmerican Dream\u201d is just a slogan that the wealthy created in order to help keep most of us conditioned, tamed and obedient, (like dogs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the most part, The American Dream only exists for the wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope some of you will talk to your family, friends or others about this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I encourage everyone to do your own research at the library or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
