Thinking about all of this more today as the House has acted in tyranny to try and take away the last of our freedoms, I realized that all three entities of this problem 1) the government, 2) the business owners, and 3) the employees (middle and lower class), are to blame. And because of that, all 3 will need to group together to fix the problem.

The government needs to listen to the People (the majority of which want the freedom to make their own decisions) and the executives (the majority of which just want the freedom to make money)

The employees need to vote for government leaders that will restore their freedom, and stop blaming executives for wanting to make money (just like they do), and

The executives need to stop getting involved in politics in order to obtain unfair consideration (via lobbyists), and start sharing some of the wealth they’ve created with their employees who EARN it, rather than hoard the wealth out of fear that other people will take it.

I’ve found that the more you share something, the more you’ll get it back – it’s a principle that God has given us to act on.

My mother taught me a game when I was about 2 or 3 called cooperation: we cleaned up the mess of my colored blocks by each placing a hand on the rim of the bag, and each using the other hand to put the blocks back in the bag. Teamwork was much more effective than her blaming me for making the mess, and telling me to clean it up on my own, or me blaming her by claiming I was “just a kid” and that she was my mommy.

That story contains the principles that will save us from this situation: 2 or 3 main components always point to a solution, a mess existed, the 3 components (the bag being the “third”) came together in order to fix it, and nobody blamed each other. We just realized that we all had a part to play, and did the job MUCH more quickly than it would have been done alone.

If that doesn’t happen in this country, then we will continue into socialism and dictatorship, we will continue to lose jobs, and we will continue to have financial problems in every sector. If democracy dies, it will not be without the protest of the remaining patriots . . .

it's the entire monetary system... the federal reserve fiat money system.

you can blame the politicians, big government, etc.... but in the end, i actually blame the people. it is the people who allowed the politicians to violate the constitution and it is the people who stood by and allowed this all to happen. people have been dumbed down, and allowed themselves to be taken advantage of, and now we're paying the price.

it's not just any one person, political party, or interest group today but a culmination of a long list of bad policies throughout our past, exacerbated by recent decisions in policies and the majority of American people's complicity with those destructive policies.

If I were to blame one person?
