Philosophy

These mega-corporations are able to maintain their control over the economy because the majority of the working class (the people) are relatively poor and relatively uneducated. Many among the working class do not understand how their poverty and their lack of education are being used against them by big business. The poor do not have the funds to oppose the corruption of big business and the uneducated do not perceive how they are being deceived by big business.

The CEOs of these mega-corporations accomplish their deception by offering the people a vain hope of receiving a life of leisure, when in fact they are creating an economic system that forces the working class to labor their whole lives just for a meager existence. Meanwhile, they themselves live in the lap of luxury with their exorbitantly high salaries.

Just as a clever magician will keep the audience mystified with one hand while performing some form of trickery with the other hand (and there-by get the audience to believe that a magic trick has been performed), so also does big business keep the working class busy with vain hopes, false dreams and cheap thrills (and there-by pacify and placate the people).

Credit card companies are an excellent example. Their extremely high interest rates are aimed at keeping the working class in debt their whole lives. Yet, the CEOs themselves do nothing but live in lavish comfort.

State lotteries and gambling casinos are classic examples of futile expectations. The expectation of winning and becoming rich is a classic example of false dreams. It is almost impossible to win in them. Yet their advertisements give one the impression that winning big is an everyday occurrence.

Uncontrolled Capitalism gives the impression that owning one’s own franchise of a multi-million dollar corporation is a reachable goal. It gives one the idea that honesty and hard work will “pay off” in the end with a life of luxury. It offers a vain hope of wealth to all when such is obtainable by the rare few.

Meanwhile an uncontrolled, predatory capitalistic economy keeps the working class in continuous, repressive labor.

I want to finish this with something I believe.

Every time a corporation produces a product that is inferior or nothing but a worthless piece of garbage, every time a corporation distributes its product with false and misleading advertisements, every time a corporation attaches cheap gimmickry, tawdry gadgets and meaningless devices to its product in order to enhance the sale of its product, every time a corporation offers vain hopes, false dreams and cheap thrills with its product in order to induce the consumer to buy its product, every time a corporations sells a product that is an ersatz of the genuine thing, then that corporation is aiding and abetting those who hate capitalistic imperialism.

The above paragraph is based upon the supposition that if someone must lie, cheat or deceive in order to sell their product then it’s because the product is not worth buying. Capitalism must lie, cheat and deceive in order to sell itself to the world. This is one of the reasons why Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Atiyah Abd al Rahman and other members of al Qaeda hate Capitalism so much.

(Another reason is because capitalistic imperialism is exploiting, polluting and corrupting the world without thought or concern for the environment or the common citizen – the working class.)

Thus corporate America is aiding and abetting those terrorists who seek to destroy America.

An uneducated society is one that can be deceived with inferior products, false advertisements, cheap gimmickry, tawdry gadgets, meaningless devices, vain hopes, false dreams and cheap thrills. But an educated populace can see through such deceit.

Our government leaders are doing nothing to stop the abuse of the people by the CEOs of big business. Instead they are allowing these CEOs to deceive the working class with false fears and false hopes.

Our government leaders do not perceive that an uneducated populace can easily be overcome by corrupt politicians, deceived by unscrupulous businessmen and raped by unholy religious leaders but an educated society can never become the victims of slavery.

Our government leaders do not perceive that an uneducated person is more likely to become a criminal or a victim of a crime or some other form of deceit than an educated person.

Our government leaders do not perceive that it is cheaper to educate someone while he or she is a child and to make sure that he or she graduates with job skills than it is to incarcerate that same person when he or she becomes an adult.

Again, it becomes only too clear that a government that is not putting the education of its citizens as its first goal is a government that is abusing its own citizens. A government that is not doing its utmost to eradicate poverty and crime (both are consequences of inadequate education) by educating its citizens and teaching them job skills is a government that will die as a victim of its own ignorance.

A government that does not have all of its schools equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is not doing its utmost to educate all of its citizens is a government that is raping its own citizens.
