How do I get rich?

My whole life has been filled with stories of people telling me that I don’t belong here. That I must work and toil just to earn the right to stay. I never believed it.

I would sit and wonder, much on a night like this, alone (or running somewhere in my mind) why I did not belong. Why must Robert Tanguay work a paper route to buy the clothes to fit in, toys to play with or some other fad while others simply seem to have. Am I a bad person?

I would question anyone that would lend an ear, searching for answers to this question but no one could seem to respond. Maybe I had to work hard at being smart – so I moved to books, consuming knowledge of stocks, business, history, and fish tanks to weapons. Still no solution.

Why do some people never have to work, getting all the riches of the world, only to squander them away on vanity? Why was my hard working mother and I so poor?

If you have to work hard in America to be wealthy, would selling greeting cards door to door at age 9 be considered hard work? How about making leather, or stacking wood at a lumber mill for 10 hours a day? Surely the rich kids aren’t doing that – my reward must be near.

Something is wrong. I am not rich, and neither are the vast majority of American’s that work harder than I. Talk is cheap, yet those with the means to be heard seem only to have abundance.  With this, I can only reach one conclusion – money isn’t real. It can’t be. If it were, the lady in Africa that has to walk 5 miles just  to get enough water to last a day would be laden with cash, and the hedge fund manager would be on the streets. In studying both ends of the spectrum, I have found the answer to becoming rich.

See, the difference between the laborers and the elite are in the resources. Control of these resources determines ability to obtain wealth, and ultimately become rich, gaining more resources, and further ensuring control and your place on top of the “mountain”. It then becomes clear that if you keep those at the bottom from ever getting to the top, you will never have to compete with them, effectively maintaining your wealth with little effort.

So here I am, writing to you, and I have still not explained why I want to be rich. I see the world differently than most – and have proven it to you while writing this article during game six of playoffs, with the Celtics needing a win. It’s not because I don’t enjoy sports, it’s because I believe at the bottom of my soul that they should be playing for me and my friends and family, not the elite watching from above. They’re the ones that told us we don’t belong.

Money in Politics – we can’t seem to get away from it. It wins elections by funding attack campaigns, gains exposure with media coverage and advertisements, and people making money together always seem to endorse each other.

What you may not realized is that the game is rigged. Let me explain how.

All media companies can be easily summed up by it’s expenses:

Content: Video, Music, Talent, Production, Websites, Writing, Scripts, Royalties, ect

Distribution: Broadcast, DVDs, Shipping, Commissions, Web servers – anything that gets content to viewers

And it’s Income:

Advertisements: Commercials, Product Placement, Sponsorships, ect

Usage Rights: OnDemand,Ticket sales, Book-CD sales, downloads, ect

Isn’t it ironic that in the pursuit of democracy, we vote for candidates that will most benefit our interests, however historically and as of the recent New Hampshire primary, we elect the ones that spend the most money. Money donated to them by those that benefit from the current system, the ones with disposable income looking for tax breaks.

The whole idea of elections are to ensure that no particular person, group or entity gets too much power. You know, shake it up a little bit. It is impossible to ever have a fair election when you add money to the equation. The outcome will  end up the same way, people in power stay in power. American elections exist only to validate those in power and their right to “rule”. This is a democracy, you know.

But wait, what if the current elite saw the loss of productivity caused by voter disenfranchisement and realized that the old tricks won’t work anymore. People get their information freely from the internet, validated by millions of comments from other internet users and social networkers. They might consider providing an open platform to discuss the real issues, and elect leaders that take us back to our nation’s roots  of independent, small businesses and self sufficient families – what made America great in the first place.

Enter SOPA and countless other “Internet Policing” laws getting forced down our throats like medicine to a test patient. Don’t worry – it’s good for us, plus, we get paid in the form of benefits (unemployment, welfare, police). All we have to do is let our Corporation run government control the distribution of ALL our news and media – but that is another article in itself.

2012 is Here, What Are We Going to Do?

I don’t know about you, but personally, I am sick of this “recession” stuff. I think we all are.

There’s just one problem – the entire country world is divided. And not 50/50, but more like 1/99 (Remember the Occupy Movement?).

Now I’m trying to be optimistic about 2012, but here’s the reality:
Nothing is going to change if we don’t acknowledge our problems and hold accountable those that caused them.

Sounds simple right? Wrong. See the thing with those pesky problem causers is that they’re the ones that control the punishments. Perhaps there will be a time when money in politics will be looked at as the Jim Crow Laws where when they were abolished less than 50 years ago.

The real root of our problems, and I mean all problems ( from health care, gay marriage, poverty, tax, war, national debt) are mater of law and access to it, and man made law is nothing more than matter of opinion. Opinion limits human achievement.

The internet is abuzz with talk of CBS cutting Ron Paul’s time from the Presidential Debate held today in Spartanburg, SC.

Initial reports are clocking Ron Paul’s total on air time to 90 seconds. Coverage of Paul on CBS’s official site is zero, except for a screen shot used for a video thumbnail in which Paul is only featured silent between two candidates.

The 2012 Election Debates appear to be little more than advertisements for major corporations, lobbyists and such. It is becoming more apparent each day. You may find better journalism here on my personal site.

Virtually all internet polls show Paul leading all other GOP candidates, which leaves one question, why is Ron Paul not getting more media coverage?

At the time of this article’s publication, the poll as in the screen shot on the right is currently unavailable on CBS and both OlivePolitic‘s website and Facebook page. It has been advertised as a “live” poll, presumably to instill authenticity. Is it being doctored or in any way modified to reflect results favorable to the sponsors of the debate?

What is more alarming is the fact of CBS’s demographic. Being a over the air broadcast station and free for anyone to view, many of it’s viewers have no other source for news; low income families and the elderly without internet access.

This is just another documented instance of news media favoring and sometimes completely excluding specific candidates with views out of alignment of a particular news platform. See bellow for a recent documentation of Yahoo! News failing to mention Ron Paul in a review of GOP candidates around the time of the Iowa Straw Poll early August, 2011.

Yahoo Fails to Mention Ron Paul

Yahoo! News “advertorial” fails to mention popular Republican candidate Ron Paul in a  political overview clearly sponsored by Shell, one of the worlds largest oil companies.

UPS and FedEX don’t have those payments yet. They are young companies.
Only an oil company can continue making 5.5 Billion dollar payments and stay afloat.

If we lose the post office America is done. Postal workers do more than deliver mail, they are the eyes and ears of our neighborhoods – their mere presence keeps our communities together and fight crime.

Postal mail is the ONLY truly private form of communication. Your every keystroke is being monitored, cataloged, bought and sold.

Wake up America!
