1/ The modern demonization of government began with Ronald Reagan saying “The most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.’” That gave the right wing the cover it needed to reduce govt’s power to serve people.

2/ But it was all a ploy. They were just transforming the mission of government from helping the people to helping the corporations. Whereas corporate taxes used to cover 33% of our public treasury - a time during which we had a healthy middle class! - it now covers only 11%

3/ The propaganda has been so thick - and for so long - convincing people that government is the enemy, that millions of people have willingly put their power in the hands of thieves who steal their daily bread. It’s the gaslighting behind the policies that led us to where we are

Stop with the labels”right wing and left wing and progressives” too many labels. Is that what we have to do? Be labeled? I’m everything at different situations. Isn’t everyone?

When we start living in a world filled up with people who can feel The Inner Love coming from The Source Of Our Being, Politicians will be filled up with so much Love, that The Government’s only desire will be to serve all of the people, all of the time. With no hidden agendas✌🏼

Oh really? Have you not been paying attention? Regan's qoute has been proven right many times since then. From the war on terror, war on drugs, debt, taxes, VA, NSA, CIA, FED, FEMA just to name a few. All the 2 party system has done is grow gov. The opposite of progress.

Let's say we do go back to FDR like policies and tax rates. Fast forward into the future and history will repeat itself. We need a completely new system, one which cannot ever be corrupted by money or leaders. Here's that system: #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy

We don’t want more government control. We want to be free not controlled puppets. Education : when government controls it you only learn what they want you to learn. They skew history , facts , and we free thinking. Lose being objective. They control what goes in our minds.
