Did you ever write a letter or an article and realize that you just scratched the surface on the subject? Here is a quickie discourse that will tie all of the information of my previous posting together. What if the “two” party system was created to control a nation's populace? Please understand that the theory that I am going to present to you is purely hypothetical. - - OR IS IT?
Just imagine that you are corporate and banking wannabe oligarchs. You make massive campaign contributions to and do other things to curry favor with BOTH political parties of a nation's “two” party system. Obviously, after making that investment in the future of BOTH parties and their politicians, you expect a decent return on your “investment.” You want that return to come in the form of little things like:
- Getting rid of or muzzling those pesky unions.
- Getting your owned electeds to keep tariffs on imports low to enable job offshoring,
- Bailing out banks and Stock Market firms while not prosecuting them for their past transgressions.
- Pursuing wars to help military contractors.
- Using “terrorists” as an excuse to continue the wars and curtail many constitutional rights.
- Using “austerity” to offset bank bailouts and tax breaks for the rich and corporations.
- Privatizing many government functions to help your corporate benefactors.
- Keeping healthcare in the private sector, even if it means that some people will go without it.
While one party will publicly object to most of the items on the list, they will “compromise” with the side that's championing those items. There are an endless number of ramifications to this scenario.
The key thing to remember is that this kind of “two” party system, which is really a virtual one party system, is the ideal way for corporate and banking oligarchs to take control of a country. The corporate and banking masters of the universe find it to be preferable to a one party system because it give the illusion of democracy, while it divides and conquers the citizenry. If voters are given the “opportunity” to pick one corporate and bank backed candidate from one corporate and bank owned party, even the most thick-skulled voter would realize that he or she has been had. The “two” party deception serves the corporate/banking oligarchy well, by having two corporate and bank backed parties that play one group of voters against the other group of voters in a double version of good cop/bad cop.
I hope that this food for thought hasn't given you indigestion.
