Trust No One: No One is On Your Side
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I may be an old man, but I know two things: I have seen or
heard all the great individual men and women who created the greatest music in
history, and the bands who thrilled us, and I have lived long enough to see our
nation’s federal government become the most corrupt and incompetent in the
world.
I am aware that I was naïve before my junior year in high
school, 1962, but for the most part, I trusted my government, our military
leaders, law enforcement, and the priests serving me and my fellow parishioners
in our church. I also believed that most of America’s wealthiest men and women
and the corporations they owned cared about the quality of their products and
the people who worked for them.
As I near my 80th birthday, I no longer trust
anyone in our nation who has outrageous wealth and/or complete power over my
life.
The truth is both disheartening and unacceptable.
NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN OUR GOVERNMENT IS WORTH THE SALARY
THEY RECEIVE
The total basic annual salary of the principal members of
all three branches of our government, 535 legislators, nine Supreme Court
Justices, and your president and vice-president is $96,548,100. However, they
all have expense accounts and additional “privileges.”
In 2026, not one of them works for you. All elected
officials have one primary concern, winning reelection. Supreme Court Justices
enjoy the privilege of having lifetime appointments. The latter are worse than
the others. They are the reason Trump has become America’s first Nazi dictator.
Our military leaders in the Pentagon have lost every war
since WWII. Of greater importance is the fact that they support the fascist in
the White House. They are a disgrace to the more than 400,000 men and women who
lost their lives fighting to defeat fascism between 1941 and 1945.
Our nation’s 989 oligarchs/billionaires are members of a
plutocracy, and a plutocracy/oligarchy cannot exist in a free and democratic
society. Therefore, they support Donald John Trump.
All law enforcement agencies have become agents of the rich
and powerful. Minorities have become targets for massive mistreatment, and acts
of violence from all men and women whose purpose was once to “protect and serve
the people.”.
There is no justice for the majority in America. Our courts
are designed to punish average Americans and give a slap on the hands to the
rich and powerful.
A large number of fake Christian leaders support Trump and
his fascist army, including his secret police/gestapo known as ICE.
Who is on our side, the side of the majority? Sadly NO ONE.
