The revelations of DOGE bring to mind all the accusations directed towards the robber barons of the 19th century. A lot of accusations were made. Most of them were false. The so-called robber barons made themselves rich but by producing wealth, lowering prices, increasing services, providing jobs and in the process enriching the lives of their fellow citizens.
Today’s robber barons reside in all of these government agencies that are literally robbing Americans of their wealth and distributing it to their cronies. Imagine how a member of congress is elected to office with a normal net worth and in a few years is worth millions. How about the wealth that people like Andrew Fauci have pilled up. They bring no benefit to the general population. All they do is line their pockets. They produce nothing that increases wealth. They are the true robber barons.
They have raised the concept to new heights.

Makes me furious to see the level of corruption that has existed in our government. The swamp was deeper than I thought!
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling it is going to be even deeper that we are seeing so far. Free enterprise without corruption is so productive that they could not let it exist.
