I have to admit, I spend a fair amount of time thinking about Dick Cheney. It's not because I care all that much about him as a person, it's what he represents. Dick Cheney, Dark Prince of Greed, embodies all the powers and ambitions of the gangsters who run our country. And in a really twisted way, that's a beautiful thing. Well, at least there's something to learn from him.
Mostly, I wonder what makes us different than Dick Cheney. How is it that people like him have so much control over the lives of people like us? What makes them so special? More importantly, how can we achieve some kind of freedom from crooks like him?
One big difference between people like Dick Cheney and people like us is their ability to take advantage of this economic collapse. When a recession (or depression or whatever we'll end up calling it) hits, people like Dick Cheney have a huge advantage. They have access to such large amounts of cash that they can go bargain shopping. They buy all the companies, real estate, goods, stocks, and etcetera that they please. A recession is a great opportunity for guys like Dick. It allows them to perpetuate and expand their wealth and power.
How do people like us get to that point? What do we do so that next time there is an economic crisis, we can profit from it instead of being destroyed by it? There must be a way.
