The modern American political system - Fascism

The big banks, the arms companies, Monsanto, large pharmaceutical companies, other large Corporations and billionaires buy the politicians and thence the government with campaign contributions and lobbying.

In return the government steal over $2.5tn a year from honest Americans and give it away to the large Corporations via Corporate Welfare.

The media is fully complicit in this massive scam.
All TV channels and all the main papers.
They are reliant on ad revenues from the large Corporations and loans from the big banks.

The $2.5tn a year of Corporate Welfare is comprised of :-
$780bn in direct government subsidies to the big banks
$500bn of bailouts through QE printing by the Federal Reserve private bank
Over $1.3tn of direct Corporate Welfare by the government.

No country can withstand the theft of 15% of it's GDP to make a few very wealthy people even richer, for very long.
The government knows this.
Therefore it has embarked on a program to take all Americans civil rights away from them and to institute massive surveillance to spy on their every move.
The government is expecting largescale civil unrest in the fairly near future, due to the large increase in unemployment and extreme economic deprivation directly resulting from their programs.  

It's called Fascism - pure and simple.
