Thomas Jefferson Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Keeping these developing countries in debt is a way of controlling them, I recommend everyone do a search for John Perkins "Confessions of an Economic Hit-man". He does a great job explaining how leaders of developing nations are bribed or cajoled into accepting massive loans which can't be paid back, so they have to sell off national assets. That's also what rising university tuition fees are about. Getting people into debt for the rest of their lives so they'll be good sheeple and not get out of hand. It's also what minimum wage salaries are about -- keeping people constantly on the edge, living from pay cheque to pay cheque, so they'll likewise be good sheeple and not get out of hand. Our whole social order is oriented around controlling people. 1776! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxie44 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Definitely, we should be doing a lot more of it, are we up to 0.1% of GDP yet?No, the rich little isle of Man gives about 0.06% of GNP when it should be 0.7% to reach the Millennium Development Goals. Mabye Bell and his businessmen friends can make a contribution from their Travel Funds. Which is our money anyway. Why can't Private Companies help with these funds? , and don't say they already do through Tax , we all do that. It's disgusting, the pathetic amount we give, considering the bragging done about how rich the Island is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero 55 BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah but the Emperors soon learnt that they had to provide free bread to the plebs to guarantee their support Hitherto, every form of society has been based, as we have already seen, on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. But in order to oppress a class, certain conditions must be assured to it under which it can, at least, continue its slavish existence. The serf, in the period of serfdom, raised himself to membership in the commune, just as the petty bourgeois, under the yoke of the feudal absolutism, managed to develop into a bourgeois. The modern labourer, on the contrary, instead of rising with the process of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the conditions of existence of his own class. He becomes a pauper, and pauperism develops more rapidly than population and wealth. And here it becomes evident, that the bourgeoisie is unfit any longer to be the ruling class in society, and to impose its conditions of existence upon society as an over-riding law. It is unfit to rule because it is incompetent to assure an existence to its slave within his slavery, because it cannot help letting him sink into such a state, that it has to feed him, instead of being fed by him. Society can no longer live under this bourgeoisie, in other words, its existence is no longer compatible with society.
