The Federal Extortion

Everyone I talk to tells me that all of the politicians are crooked. I try to use logic and point out that in the federal government alone there are 535 elected officials, and math tells us that the chance of 100% of any undifferentiated group of people that large being all dishonest is as incredibly tiny as all of them being honest. Even in a prison you will likely find that there are more than one in five hundred prisoners who are falsely incriminated or were sent to prison for stupidity rather than dishonesty, like the guy who loaned his car to a friend, not knowing that his friend would rob a bank and shoot someone, then getting life for Felony Murder.
However, there have been areas possibly still existing today somewhere where small business owners are terrified of “insurance.” Not GEICO but Guido. “Nice shop ya got, buddy, shame if anything was to happen to it.” In the late 1920s every shop owner in Chicago was paying this “insurance.”
That’s what’s happening in congress. “Nice campaign ya got dere, Senator, shame if your opponent’s campaign got five million instead of Mister Skrudge splitting it between the two of you.”
Only this Mafia isn’t La Cosa Nostra, it’s the evil and deadly Heritage Foundation, and its members, the trillion dollar corporations and the billionaires who run them. And they have gotten blatant with it lately with the Republican party, publicly stating that if any Republican acts against their minion Donald Trump’s policies in any way, he’s going to be primaried and his primary opponent who HAS shown fealty to “the party” (the Heritage Foundation) will be the one nominated.
It’s illegal, of course. But the ones writing and enforcing the laws are the victims, so who’s to stop them? We are the victims of the Foundation’s evil policies. Are we defenseless?
I hope nobody dies defending our country against this fascism. Remember, from 1942 to 1945 all of America was antifa and four hundred thousand Americans died fighting the fascists.
