Why do we remain in this fix? Why do we tolerate it? I'm not answering this for you.

We've had several revolutions that have sought to "fix" this problem only to find that we wound up in a merry go round, i.e., a revolution instead of an evolution. Thus, be it the French, the American, the Industrial, or whatever revolution we have partaken in. We remain nothing less than serfs under the feet of the landowners, i.e., banks and corporations.

So what are we to do about it?

We can complain.

Where does that get us?

Revolutions!

How has that worked so far?

We have the power to vote!
