I actually agree with you on some points you make here, so try not to take offense, none was meant,, (I was writing on an IPOD when I wrote my terse
statements) I did not clarify much by throwing out the "revolution" word. My Apologies. In all fairness, our form of government has tried the slow
method, and has been stuck for some time. 9/11 should have been the time we as a nation came together to produce Global Change for Good,, but
sadly,,,, it went into the Alternate Universe we all reside in today.
Sidelined by special interest, Pork and such, our government is the laughing stock of the world today.
Now,, I am not sure if your use of the word is the same as what I would take it to mean, but when you said "Consciously" I listened.
The Revolution,, really is about this being a process of Conscious Change. Again, the issue is things are speed up at the moment,, and they are not
going to slow down for us to sit around and pick over, and debate. Since this is the truth, then we must make ourselves ready for Quick Changes as
they come,,, and Obama stole a very Honored word,,, with "Change you can believe in" what a farce,, more double speak is all we have gotten,, plus
some. Quicker and More drastic Change is NEEDED TO SAVE OUR PLANET.
Revolution,, you sound like you think it a bad thing?
Was our American Revolution in that same category? Who were the "Corporatist" then,,, they were there,, and are the 'hero' of much of our
success,, but alas that was another age,, when there was some morality behind those machines of Change. Today,, we have soulless entities on a global
scale who love it when some one says,, Go through the courts. Do the time honored way,, and ''my lawyers will bargain with your lawyers"
Do you not realize this is a big part of the problem.
Getting back to the original meaning of this thread, it reminds me of Nazi Germany.
Yes, the corporation in question broke the Law,, which of course is a twisted thing in of itself, being I am sure they could have played the game
better,,, 20million is peanuts to these companies... (One is Phizer the Drug Boys)
But, wait,,, reading more about this,, we see that many of the tips are against "Mom and Pop" type businesses,, and Ex Spouses,,,,, unfortunately
they will not see a return,,, it is only the "Big Whales" not the Guppies" this "reward" program is For,,,
Hmmmmmm well, I hate to say it,, but I am sure I could back my self up and find that Nazi Germany did much of the same thing to steal from their own
countrymen,,,,,, i.e. Jews and other "undesirable' and Unpatriotic tax cheats. What next we will want the children to turn their parents in??
If a system was fair across the board,,, cheats,, and such '''underpayment''' would be a thing of the past,,, but since this IRS game is not
about fairness or everyone paying their share,,, it makes sense they would come up with a scam that Pits people against each other in this way,,,,,
especially when one waves a $$$Carrott$$$ in front of your face. My point being,,, If we had a system that was uniform across the board,,, FLAT
TAX,,, say 10% for all,,,,, EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPY,,, no big forms,,, could be done on a postcard I am sure.
I could do my own taxes with the help of,,,, No One.... it would be that simple.
Corporations,, don't like this idea,,, because they would have to pay more than ZERO..... hmmmmmm!!
Sounds fair to me
I understand this isn't an issue that really makes people want to Revolt,,, but the problem is we are here,, people are ready to revolt,, and Our
leaders are not doing a hell of a lot to stop it.
Your method is not working so,, change will be swift,, and we all will have to work hard to put it together in a new form,,, because Humpty Dumpty,,,
when he falls '''all the Kings horses and all the Kings men ,,, couldn't put Humpty together again.
Change need not be violent,,, A Revolution of Consciousness would be a much better thing,,, but
Most are tired of waiting for their ship to come in,,,, while the Elite are using the boat for a private cruise ship.
