Decline of pop culture

Hi

If you have been following my posts you know I am writing about our pop culture. Today I will address the effect of politics on pop culture.

As long as there has been politicians there has been graft. I am sure the early Greeks and Romans suffered some degree of dishonesty. Why should we be different? We aren't. The problem is that when an elected official gets egotistical and feels he/she knows more than the populace, the graft problem gets more severe.

I quote Rush Limbaugh, "Money is the mothers milk of politics." Too many of our elected representatives see politics as a lifetime profession, not a chance to serve, ergo, the need for money to get reelected. This need translates into more temptation and subsequently more graft. There is an old adage, "A little graft makes the wheels go around." Today it seems that the wheels are spinning out of control. It is one of the causes of the division of opinion in this country. In order to get reelected politicians use the tactic of dividing the people. Class warfare is the order of the day, male vs female, white vs black, rich vs poor and so on. As a result our culture is polluted.

The only way this can be fixed is by removing the cause of the pollution, money dictating politics and public policy. Previously I have written about the flat tax replacing our current taxation system. That would be a giant step in resolving the problem. Another step would be term limits. These and other fixes must be made if we want to revert to a time when the elected people answered to the voters. We need this.

There will be more about pop culture so please stay tuned. Thank you.

Pray for our heroes.
GOD Bless
