TYT - "Our government now works for the banks"

From YT: "A devastating report by Reuters shows that the federal government is focusing on small scale swindlers while ignoring crimes by big banks despite a wealth of evidence against them. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down."

This is pretty amazing. Where does the buck stop? In 80 years time are we gonna be talking about this still? Are we happy to be penned animals? Ok so approval ratings are down, people say no one represents them... they're clearly unhappy.

How the royal fuck do you stop the government from tricking you? They control everything. Everyone is having the wool pulled over their eyes. They trick you into thinking they're sorting the banks out. They trick you into thinking the story is bullshit (cue fox news commenting on this issue?).

What's the bottom line, then? What do you do about it? Take to the streets ala Occupy? Do you exercise the right to bear arms, the one clause you were given to prevent the government from taking your freedoms away?

I imagine the answer for at least a few who watch this video is - "Vote for the other party!!! They'll fix it!!!" As though they haven't both been creating this situation.

To all the people who cling to their guns as if a "well armed militia" were the only defence against a government bent on violating their civil rights: What is that point when you start to use your guns? How much freedom are you freedom-lovers willing to allow the government to take? How much more of your labour are you willing to allow the government to control before you decide enough is enough and actually start using your firepower against to take it back? What does that defining moment look like? Can you even describe such a situation?

If you can't, then you are causing two major problems. First, all these guns lying around for the never-gonna-happen defence of the country continue to cause all sorts of unnecessary deaths and injuries, far more in the US than any other country in the world. Second, and more importantly, they falsely give you the feeling that as long as you're holding onto that cold steel that the government can't take your liberties away. Fact is, while you were sleeping, cuddled up against that shotgun, the government came and stole your liberties anyway. Your guns are useless.>> ^dannym3141:

Damn those guns. Unlocking their own gun cabinets, pointing themselves at people, and pulling their own triggers. How dare they cause all of these deaths.
