1Jn 5:19 We know that we are children of God. We know that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. (NiRV)
I may have had some interactions with one of the principalities over the entire USA. Its been bent on self destruction for many years now, and won't tell me why. -and i'm not 100% confident in this but 2 years ago i sensed the same spirits at work in my local politician who won with 66.3% of the vote, as my ex gf. I uh, told it to leave him alone. his finance left him that week.
Politics is a distraction, as it is a spiritual war. Everyone knows the government has substantially less than 50% efficiency at actually delivering services for which they tax us. but they don't do anything about it. Why? because of spiritual blindness, apathy, etc.
For example:
Has anyone in your hometown actually audited their own local school districts to find where the money goes?
-my local county representative may be re-elected by a margin of just 0.2%, with about 24,000 people out of 70K registered voters voting. She has half a dozen ethics boards findings over many years and was recently fined $50,000 for funneling half a million dollars of state money to her own out of state non profit organization. -no one cares....
There are also the bums of society who only want handouts and freebies and who don't want to work. I don't think it's fair if i work my a** off my whole life only for my way off life to come crashing down so that some lazy individuals can get their free meal ticket. I say, get off your a** and put in the effort to improve yourself.
this is an example of what i'm talking about:
--when the entire financial institutional system is designed to slowly strip wealth out of the families and concentrate it amongst the rich, you cannot have a functioning country. its simply unsustainable. -a fairly dry book on the topic is "this time it is different, 800 years of financial folly"
-the country is basically divided between those who can leverage their own debt as assets, and those who can't.
if you want a functioning healthy society you have to set the interest rates and the tax rates such that the more profit you make the harder it is to keep it. One idea i had recently was, what if you made a law that said 30% of corporate profits must be equally re-distributed as wages to every employee and subcontractor equally.
-this would incentivize every worker to make improvements that boost profits.
--but the corporation could find lots of ways to avoid paying out, so enforcement could be difficult.
