Two-tiered justice system

This was a week before the FBI (DNC)'s raid on Trump's personal residence.

Even most Democrats believe this. The difference is, they like it that way.

Boomers allowed this to happen on their watch. Voting for moronic policies/politicians over and over. Of course they would "adjust" the system in favor of themselves. It may be too late to fix this crap. We had a shot, but fking morons cried about mean tweets and prefer rape and pillage by the left.

What's bad is that 9.1% are 'Not Sure'

Many who perpetrated the roots of this came before the boomers. Many of the early boomers were hippies who later poisoned our nation and still are, with their socialist agenda. I'm a late boomer and have never approved of this shit.

Government and fiat currency created this with the end of the Bretton Woods gold standard and the beginning of the petrodollar. Known as the "Nixon Shock", a Republican FWIW, it's laid out pretty well chart wise, here: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/


"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth."

John Maynard Keynes

Inflation is not an accident, nor deflation. These are the primary tools being used to impoverish our Republic and our neighbors.

It was well beyond the roots and way earlier than the boomers. Politicians, other than a minority which truly see their position as one of contribution, have always been able to either skirt the existing laws, or change the laws to suit their purpose. The only difference is the visibility that now exists. Can you imagine living in the time of Carnegie and Rockefeller and seeing the shenanigans of all the politicians on the take? The Daley "dynasty" in Chicago?

What the Boomer generation, as a stereotypical whole, contributed was a complete nonchalance about EVERYTHING. This laissez faire, passive aggressive approach to life, from child rearing to allowing politicians to run rampant has now got us into a corner. Needed adjustments along the way could have negated much of the dismal state we now enjoy, but the vast majority of folks were lulled into acquiescence that was absolutely planned by the politicians and thus pushed via legislation throughout the whole of American society. Until we get better representation, the beatings will continue.

Even during the Constitution era there was a minority who despised limited government, the freedoms that the Constitution guaranteed, and especially the separation of powers. In 1792 Jefferson wrote:

It is but too true that we have a sect preaching up and panting after an English constitution of king, lords, and commons, and whose heads are itching for crowns, coronets and mitres.

Academics in the late 1800s devised a plan to consolidate power as an administrative state, and Woodrow Wilson was the first to implement it.
