Ronald Reagan saw America as a ‘Shining City on the top of the Hill’. 　Yeah, right, and it is gated and exclusively inhabited by the rich!　

Now, after viewing the economy debates since then, I must elaborate a bit.　

Up there still stands the ‘Shining City on the top of the Hill’, just a little more out of reach now.　 At the bottom of the hill are the enslaved laborers (the rest of us); those without or with deficient health care; the earth’s land masses turning into a garbage dumps uninhabitable by all living species and especially the endangered ones; the over-fished and poisoned rivers and oceans; our carcinogen filled lungs caused by polluted air; our farms drenched in pesticides with their soil depleted of nutrients.　 Finally, and most essentially, we must keep an eagle’s eye on those from the Hilltop who inviolately sail the global stratosphere escalating their business corruption and corporate criminality on a worldwide basis.

As Patrick Henry said two-hundred and thirty-five years ago, "Give me government intervention or give me death!"　 OK, so I am contemporizing him a bit.　 After all, things have changed somewhat since then.

With the combined momentum of the Labor Unions and the populace that is now filing in line to post their counter-corruption complaints on the internet, the ranks of the people’s side of our nation’s class warfare are swelling rapidly.　 Now, just as during the presidential campaign when the people rallied in great numbers to throw the elitist right winger bums out of office, we must rally again in great numbers and force to squelch the blitzkrieg of the thieving lobbyists and huge corporations designed to hold on to their ill-gotten power and wealth.

Around, afoot, and far below that "Shining City on a Hill" lay a world of education that is enforced and regimented for ignorance and blind conformity; misery of workers treated as mere commodities; youth considered as mere cannon fodder and enticed and defrauded into the military for faux wars; exploitation of defenseless and underdeveloped countries; impoverishment of the majority; disease and people dying without recourse; suppression and destruction of humane organizations; a wasteland of garbage, debris, and pollution; a few media monopolies dedicated to perpetual deception; .and the rapidly approaching the death of the planet.
