The wealthy, with the help of the Liberals and Conservatives, are robbing us blind by paying no income tax. This is why our schools can't get proper funding. This is why most of our children have no chance of going to university. This is why Americans can't get medical care. This is why Canada and the U.S. can't afford to provide decent housing. This is why, all over the western world, whole families sleep on sidewalks.
And this is why our taxes have to be high.
And, so long as we sit around and do nothing, this is why the situation daily gets worse - much worse. It's no exaggeration to say that the world is being destroyed by the greed of a very small number of people.
We are suffering now. And we and our children are going to suffer much more so long as we elect Liberals and Conservatives. Both of those parties, from the start, governed only for the very, very wealthy. They have long since destroyed democracy. They are now completing their destruction of the rest of us.
It's an old, old story for humanity which has now become a dominant movement of unspeakable greed directed at us and our children. This has been the reason we fight wars. We had to fight Hitler because he was evil?
Not true. It should have been true that we fought him for that reason. Alas, that is not what World War 2 was about.
For a start, one of the greediest empires in human history was the British empire. And the rising greedy empire is the U.S. The wealthy of both countries were quite happy to let Hitler conquer - so long as he also conquered Russia and so long as he did not expand German capitalism too much. The U.S. went to war so it's greedy class could steal the British empire that Japan was attacking, and so it could take the British oil fields of the Middle East.
Take a look at the U.S. in Latin America since 1900. Has it brought democracy to Latin America? No. In fact, it has constantly destroyed democracy in those countries. It has deliberately stolen natural resources with low, low pay and even starvation for the locals - not to mention mass murder. And while it thunders about the evils of Cuba, the fact is that the U.S. supported the dictatorship and corruption of Cuba's leaders, imposed by the U.S. Now, it says it wants to create a free Cuba. Sure.
Off hand, I can't think of a single country in Latin America that has been permitted to become free.
Is the U.S. a free democracy? Get real. The billionaires of the U.S. get enormous handouts from American governments that destroyed democracy almost from the start. Those who need schools, medical care, livable basic housing get nothing. Instead, the greatest sums in history are handed out to weapons manufacturers.
Like the British Empire before it, the American Empire is an empire for a small number of people who use the ordinary people to die in their wars and force many millions of them to live in poverty.
In short, the U.S. and it's friends have become Hitlers. Latin Americans are not fleeing to the American border out of love for the U.S. They are fleeing to escape the hell the U.S. has made of their countries - and the American border is the only one they can flee to.
The world has been suffering from this greed for well over 2,000 years. And we are now at the edge of collapse.

Notice the reference to the neglect of Dutch settlers, Mostly women, children and the elderly who died at the hands of concentration camp guards. And guess who most of those guards were. Yes. They were Canadian 'heroes'.

Why are we seeing this school strikes in Canada and the U.S.? That's because the very rich don't pay income tax. In fact, they spend much of their time demanding the governments give more taxes to them
And the very rich don't worry about the schools their children go to because those schools, most of them, get our tax money as well as daddy's money. (And they aren't superior schools, just more snobbish.)

And this story appears not to have reached most of the western press. But it's quite true. Almost all wars are fought to satisfy the greed of capitalists. That's what the Korean war was about, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the whole middle east. That's why over twenty million people, especially civilians, have been murdered since 1945. That's why the wealth of the U.S. instead of going to those who need it is going to weapons billionaires. That's why 'democratic' governments are largely owned and controlled by billionaires. Capitalists are the aristocracy or our time - murderous, thieving, and indifferent to human needs.
