It’s nothing personal.  The party is just doing its job.  Why be surprised or disappointed? It’s been happening for centuries.  The more some have, the more they want, the harder they fight to keep it. Spread some around so they can get even more.  It’s a rigged game from top to bottom.

We let this happen.  We can change it.  The first step is to name it, and we just did.

The Irish fought for 800 years to win their independence from the world’s most powerful empire.  Generations came and went before the goal even seemed possible.  They never gave up.

Now it’s our turn.

Note:  This is the first in series of articles on The Money Party.  Other topics include why we end up with such lousy leaders, why it’s so hard to get rid of them, and how the party manipulates the public debate with misleading terms and crackpot ideas that seem legitimate. Special thanks to John Arbuthnot and Jillian Hayroot for their input.
