The Real Language of Politicians
The language of Capitalism and business, many say, is money. And this is cause for derision because it is looked at as unsympathetic and ruthless, caring not for the needs of others, but only for profit.
But guess what?
Politicians are even more fluent in this language than they would have you believe. I would argue that it is the only language they understand completely, and therefore their preferred one. Their eyes are always seeking after the almighty dollar.
For instance, take the recent reactions to Ron Paul’s “money-bomb” on November the 5th. Lew Rockwell has written the following:
Since the moneybomb especially, senior congressmen have been chatting Ron up on the floor. Recently, he was asked for the first time to address the republican chiefs of staff who run congressional offices. They had the same questions as the congressmen.
What firm did you hire to raise this money? What strategist planned it for you? What mysterious technology did you use?
Ron Paul has also said in interviews that congressmen are continually coming up to him, asking where in the world all this money is coming from. They have caught wind of the scent.
And is it really any surprise? All of our money is plastered with images of previous politicians, and the tradition goes back thousands of years. Caesar’s image was engraved on the coin that Jesus used to teach his lesson in Matthew 22.
Politicians speak and understand concepts the best when they are presented in the language of money.
You want to know why lobbyists and special interests are so successful in D.C.? Because they know how to speak with the language of politicians: money.
At least many businesses provide critical services in exchange for our hard-earned dollar, without which society would probably collapse. Can you say that about any politician?
What service does a politician provide that cannot be sufficiently performed by a rubber duck? Or perhaps a Drinking Bird, as used by Homer on the Simpsons to repeatedly push a single button over and over again.

I think that it will only get worse before it gets better. All I know is that you need to be debt free and cash rich by the middle of 2011. That is when the overwhelming majority the baby boomers are going to transition into a conservation mode and not the consumers they were prior to this date. Massive withdrawals from their IRAs and other retirement accounts will lead to a depressive state in the stock market. Be prepared! To bad the liberty dollar had to go away. There may be the need for a new form of currency post 2011.
And of course, none of it will hurt the politicians, because they don’t depend on any voluntary consumerism. They can just continue to steal and raise their own salaries.
The politicians asking Ron Paul this wouldn’t understand the answer: that in a real sense, nobody did it, that it was a bottom-up, self-organizing system. That goes completely against the world view of most people in government, that all order, all goodness, all value comes from the top and is spread around by the leaders in government.
Yeah, typical campaign’s reflect the authoritarian, “philosopher-king” beliefs of their masters.
It is really a great platform to have a nice info.keep it up…this nice shjaring….
