You elected the people that are making the decisions about where the money comes from, and where it goes. Right now, it's all coming from the middle and working classes, and it's all going to wealthy plutocrats. And to make that flow as efficient as possible, the plutocrats want a few "good workers" to work 70 hours a week for as little as they can get away with paying them. And then they want lots of police around on their payroll to control the non-productive riff-raff in case they get 'upidy' about being broke and out of work, or broke and overworked. All those cops are there to make sure you don't decide to fight back against a system that is owned and operated by them, and is making them very wealthy.I don't see much work going on in Lawton, OK at all. The streets and infrastructure are in total shambles and rarely is a tractor, a road roller, a dump truck, a paving machine or a hard-hat on the streets to be seen. I see a lot of (mostly male) cops cruising around in shiny new police cars in town here, though. This city of 100K people can buy more police cars but can't even pave the streets. Just strolling around my neighborhood in the morning there is seldom fewer than five cop cars to be seen. And this is dirt-farmer Oklahoma, not East LA.
And the Boy Scouts aren't going to do a thing about any of this because they were created to teach boys how to be "good workers" for the rich. And not to get 'upidy' when the rich decide to toss them aside for the next "good worker" who will work even harder and for less.
