at robmandu@ Not being the topic starter I can’t speak for him, but I just wanted to chime in.
I don’t think allengreen is against being wealthy, he is against people abusing power. And it so happens the people in power are wealthy (as a result of their power?). As far as I can tell, the main objectives of most wealthy powerful people is to A.) Maintain Power, and B.) Maintain wealth.
This topic I believe is asking “If the people in power break laws, constitutions, and your trust to hold onto their power what are you willing to do about it?”.
You say that we should work our way through the system; I would say that’s a fine way to do it… if it worked. You look at England, Tony Blair handing his power over to his friend… no election, no decision by the people. I see here in Canada, Stephen Harper not giving a damn about what the people of Canada say… something like 36% of Canadians voted for him and now morality for which we stood is going out the window. The United States, there is well documented proof of election fraud in the first election of G.W.B.
These people have taken control and are not releasing it back into the commons where it belongs. I think this goes beyond making a life for yourself… you can’t make a life for yourself without freedom.
:o That went longer than I wanted, I apologise
